Hello, I’m Michael Adams. I was born in Groesbeck, Texas, on June 3, 1948, and have lived most of my life in Thornton. I’m the son of Mary McDade Adams and JC Adams Jr. I started school in 1955, in Thornton in the first grade and my first and second grade teacher was Mrs. Loretta Caldwell. Both grades were in one room with one teacher. Mrs. Caldwell was the wife of Mr. T.E Caldwell was the Superintendent of Thornton schools. My third and fourth grade teacher was Mrs Pearl McLennan. My fifth and sixth grade teacher was Mrs. Alice Kidd. She loved teaching us about science and art. Mostly Art from my memories. My seventh and eighth grade teachers were Mrs. Gladys Black and Coach E.S. Ellis, Jr. I went through my 8th grade year in Thornton.
