Waring Cast Signs on for Third Season: Part II

Editor's note: This is the next in our series in which we highlight some of the citizens who make up the wonderful little town of Waring. This week we feature Kelton and Angie Fiedler.

Waring, TX- Experts have calculated that in the last 50 years, 1.5 billion cars have passed through Waring. (These estimates were based on absolutely nothing and have no scientific credibilty whatsoever.) Without hesitiation, I can say Kelton and Angie Fiedler are definitely one of those 1.6 billion. (He lives right in the middle of Waring.)

Kelton, in his 30s, owns his own company. He is known throughout the area as The Dirt Dobber. Let's just say if it can be built, detroyed, welded, or relocated, Kelton is definitely the person you want to call. (Unless any of the previous verbs are being applied to a relationship.)

About a year and half ago, Kelton went to the world famous Steaknite here in Waring (steaknite.com) where he crossed paths with a pretty young thang named Angela. Kelton was smitten and followed Angela around like a besotted puppy. At the first break in the conversation he asked her to marry him...which she did. That was more than a year ago and they are still going strong.

Kelton owns an old international truck which you will see him driving around town alot. It is a convertible and quite the showpiece. (He recently resored the rust to its original burnt orange color...and it looks better than ever!)

Angie is one of the two County Extension Agents here in Kendall County. It was because of her that I gave my first ever motivational speech. I spoke to about 100 people at the Kendall County 4-H banquet...head, heart, hands, health people!!! What an honor! Thanks, Angela.

Kelton and Angie, collectively, represent the best of Waring: young, spirited, humorous, kind, and alive. (Waring used to be known for its large "near death" population years ago.)

Several weeks ago they helped organize a community bird house building symposium in which the citizens gathered on the front stoop of the store to construct birdhouses of all sizes and colors. When the symposium ended (led by Carol Patton) the participants dutifully lined the new birdhouses up and took photos.

This is the point at which Kelton duly noted that we were flooding the aviary real estate market in Waring. Good point. Kelton is a wellspring of knowledge. Last week, he informed me that "the ruminates in my front yard have a stong liking for Chinaberry trees." Like I said...a wellspring.

Needless to say, Kelton and Angie are two of the five and half million reasons that Waring has become such a wonderful chapter of my life. If you ever pass through Waring turn down Fredericksburg Street and drive until it ends. If you drive into the river, you've gone too far. His is the last house on the left...before the river.

Remember, if you need work done, Kelton is the man. Be looking for another profile in the near future!

That's the story of my life...
