My parents always took a vacation in early August. Mother was in late pregnancy, so they took a short trip to Possum Kingdom Lake. Mother was still holding me in her belly. This is at the overlook at the dam at PK on the Brazos River.

Frank McNair - Pastor of Lockett Baptist Church
Papa founded this church in 1924 with 12 other people.
I remember passing through Lockett every time that we visited Mimi and Pappy in Crowell. This church was always loved and well maintained during my growing up years. At the time, I didn't feel the gravity of what this place meant to my rich family history.
This picture would have been taken in the mid 1990s.
In 2022, Lockett sustained much damage from a severe tornado. My heart was at unrest until I could make a trip up to see what was left standing. This tornado cut a path between the church and Papa and Mama's home, but both of them were still standing. Pictured below is the church building as I found it in April 2023. I can't remember if it had a church sign out front. I was just relieved to find it in good condition.
