I was born in Cameron, Louisiana July 21, 1939 to William Zachariah Reich and Phylis Rogers Reich. Dad was working oil field across La. Before this Dad had also worked for Bell Telephone laying cable for the telephones. I don't know when he started to work for them but they lived in Kansas doing this before I was born. We later moved to Gross Tete and to Hackberry and then to Pickering, La. Where Dad and his brohters built roads and highways. The summer before I started the third grade we moved to New Llano, La. Around 1950 we went to Post, Texas for Dad and Uncle Cleve to build roads to the oil wells being drilled out there. Lots of rattle snakes We started to move to Norman, Oklahoma where they owned a 120 acre farm. We were half way there when Mom decided she wanted to go back to Louisiana where the grandkids were and so Dad parked the truck and we went on to visit the family and then returned to Louisiana. I was very disappointed. I always wanted to live on that farm with the creek running thru it. Later in New Llano Dad and Mom bought a little grocery store and we lived in the back of it. They built some small houses to rent to the soldiers at Camp Polk, later years it became Fort Polk. I bought this property from them for my husband Adolph Davis and I to build a store on it after the Highway, 171, took our other store that we leased from Jack Gregory.
