Abstract
Robert L. Skrabanek, a professor emeritus from Texas A & M University, reminisces about growing up in a small, rural, almost exclusively Czech Protestant community in central Texas during the 1920s and 1930s. The community of Snook (originally Šebesta) in Burleson County is located between Austin and Houston. Physically isolated, the town continued to experience during these decades what occurred in pioneering times: close-knit families, community spirit, and personal honesty.
