I would like for you to meet Tom H. Verell, Jr., a new vice-president of the Hamilton National Bank. He is just starting his work here, so they have not found a place to live yet. His wife, Bobbie, will be joining him when they find a home. The Verells have two children.

Al, a son, has a business in San Angelo, and their daughter, Cheryl, is in Angelo State University at San Angelo .

I’m always curious to know why people choose Hamilton or Hamilton County as a place to live, so I just ask them. Both of the Verells are from Mississippi , and they came first to Brownwood where he worked for six years. He has been working in Amarillo for the past three years.

While they were living in Brownwood , their daughter, Cheryl, became interested in horses and rodeos so during that time they attended some 4-H rodeos at Star, Evant and other places and met some Hamilton people. Tom said that after living for three years in that windy, dry climate at Amarillo he was anxious to get back to central Texas where he finds the climate much better.

The Verells are Baptist, and we welcome them to our little city.
