A neat idea and since we are staunch Republicans and support George W. Bush.. we enjoyed your web site.

Your web page certainly has a lot of information. I was looking for the Mayor or Town Leader to compare both Towns of Crawford. I am a Councilwoman for the Town of Crawford in upstate New York and would like to share our thoughts with you.
i'm from NEW YORK, and i voted for gore.

Greetings from one Crawford to another. ...Dennis Crawford
Hi all...
Your web site is very interesting and informative, I was in Crawford about one month ago (May 19), and of course purchased the "mandatory" George W. Bush T-shirt from Larry and Norma at "Crawford Country Style." I met several local people who were very helpful with directions, and everyone I met was very friendly. Wishing you all the best...:)

I like the small town feeling I get when I visited your web site. Never have been to Texas, and would like to see some maps of your area. We are horse people up here in Minnesota, and would like to be able to visit you some day.
Forest Lake, Mn Tim Peterson
Congratulations for having the foresight to establish your website. You definitely have placed yourself in an advantage to assist your community prosper in the years to come. Texas will always hold fond memories for me since my formative years were spent in Amarillo. Outstanding education received at Mesa Verde Elementary School. President Bush again in 2004! Earl C. Aguigui, POB 9341 Tamuning, Guam 96931.
I followed a link on a new story about President Bush. I can see how his wife and him choose to have a place in you beautiful town. I wish you all the success in the world. This is one great looking place.
I have never been to Texas, but if I go, Crawford will be the one place I visit.
God bless you all

Look out Crawford Citizens technology progress is coming to your area fast. Great idea for the web site! A local small town called Frazier Park started this way and now has a web site for the school, businesses, and even web cams for viewing the roads. I'm sure your web site will influence more of the laid back Crawford citizens to step on this fast moving train and get a computer online to see what's going on. UGH!

Why this sounds like a very sweet little town! After reading the Los Angeles Times article (June 17,2001), I now want to visit! I've never even been to Texas. I pray that this little town is not exploited by insensitive investors. I'm sure I'll visit Crawford this year. Thank you Very Much! Adrienne Francine Miley, Concierge, Sheraton Pasadena Hotel, Pasadena, California
This website was included in an article in the Los Angeles Times today. I was especially interested in the "Photos" section. The pictures of downtown resemble an attraction at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. I'm guessing that Crawford is the real thing...
I truly enjoyed learning more about the President's home town of Crawford, Texas. It seems to be a nice place to live. I especially prefer small towns.
I think it is wonderful, that you have a website where people can learn about Crawford. I am also pleased to have President George W. Bush, as a resident of McLennan County. It has given Crawford a well needed boost. As one of the last few descendants of Neill McLennan, Sr., for whom the county was named, living in the county, I sent, then Governor Bush, a letter welcoming him to Mclennan County. and assuring him, that "Old Neill", would have been, very proud, to have him as a resident of the county. Sincerely, Sally McLennan Truhlar
DANNY AND KATIE, GREAT SITE. WE ARE ALL VERY PROUD OF YOU AND FEEL FORTUNATE TO HAVE YOU AND BUSH IN CRAWFORD TEXAS. WE FINALLY ARE ON THE RIGHT ROAD IN THE WHITEHOUSE. SEE YOU SOON!!!!!!!! TJ,SJ,KJ,MJ.
GO LONGHORNS
I visited the town to gather research for a journalism paper that I am writing at the University of Texas at Austin. The residents were extremely friendly, helpful, and glad to assist me. Thanks y'all!
I love your website it is awesome!
I've never been to Crawford, but been all around it. To know that President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura are from Crawford gives me a thrill. Hoo-ray for the Real First Family in 8 years. Great Web Site. Makes me think of Home. Bob & Ann Gray, Atoka, Tenn.
I wish I could have seen those greenpeace idiots on our tower. I would have gotten a good laugh out of it!
I am glad to see the pastor of the Patton Baptist Church added his hello below. I too lived in Crawford and was proud of it before the recent election. I am the grandson of Roy Black and Anna Mae Elder Black and the Black family called Crawford home (or "town") for more than a hundred year. Roy, Hubert(my father) and I went to school there. May the nature of the Crawfords good people never change. Randall Black MD rblack@edge.net .
I am a descendent of Thomas Davenport and I understand President Bush is also. My great Grandmother was Mary Jane Davenport. I sure hope they have a family barbecue. I'd love to visit your town.
We enjoyed our visit through your lovely town of Crawford this past Saturday Thanks for the fun visit at "The Saturday Tent". We just love our Crawford City Limits t-shirts and Crawford hats. Keep up the good work on the web site!!
Jon and Betsy Burns
On March 23rd my Wife and I visited Crawford, TX on our way down to our son's ranch in Liberty Hill, TX. We enjoyed our brief, but pleasant 2 hour visit there. I had picked up a letter sent to there General Delivery, just to say I had and the Postmaster was very nice and pleasant to talk with. Mailed a few inaugural postmarks to relatives. Then we made a good choice to stop at the "Coffee Station" for a bite to eat and some more visiting.
We picked up a few T-shirts, hand towels and coffee mugs with the Crawford/Bush logos on them from the Bairds. We felt right at home with you all and I want to thank the people of your warm community for a making it so.
I worked many years in the Agrispray business as a spray pilot, in and around the state of Texas. Being in the farming community again is always a pleasure. I realize how much I miss it. Hope to spend more time with my son and family on their ranch after I retire. There's plenty of work waiting for me, cutting, ear taging, doctoring calves, and drilling in haygrazer, etc.
We will return to Crawford as I feel a connection there. My grandfather and his father came from Tennessee to Garrison, TX in the 1890s, just like all the Scots that settled in the Robertson Colony. Quite a history there in central Texas. We also made a trip to Salado, TX and found the historical museum there.
All in all I love Texas and her people. We are proud of our new President and First Lady. God bless them and our country.
Thanks again Crawford!
Sincerely,
Ronald and Marlene Crawford 17 Roy Crawford Lane Santa Fe, NM 87505
This is a great thing for Crawford and the state of Texas. Happy for ya. Don't let it ruin the small town quality.
Funny but I've been coming to Crawford all my life (49 years) and before President Bush lived there, no one even knew where it was! Well - they know where you are now, Crawford! Thanks for the recent visit to see my parents, Sam & Nan Travis and there is nothing better than the Coffee Station's CHICKEN FRIED STEAK! Yummmmy!
Susan L. Travis Cape Canaveral, Florida
You are to be commended for a great web Site. We wish all people of Crawford, Texas good health, wealth, and happiness this year and many more. Congratulations to George W. & Laura Bush on their journey through the Presidency. We wish them much success and happiness, now and the future. Dave & Genie Starkey, Franconia, NH
It's great to have a Texan in the White House, especially one who lives at Crawford. Congratulations on your web site. Darlene Reynolds
Ciao ITALIA !!!!!
My name is Sharon Tschirhart and I live in Boerne Texas. I am the WebMinister for our church website (www.stjohnlutheran.com) and my Pastor (Henry Schulte) gave me your website address. It was wonderful seeing the pictures of the ball. Great job!!
Had fun looking at your website with my parents today. My father Eben R. Kilpatrick grew up in Crawford,and he and my mother Marcella spent their honeymoon at The Tonkawa Falls Clubhouse in 1947! I spent many holidays there with aunts, uncles & cousins at my grandmother's (Edith Kilpatrick's) home. I also wore out swimming suit bottoms at Tonkawa Falls. Best wishes to everyone & enjoy your time in the limelight! Ann Kilpatrick Ziehe from Benbrook (near Fort Worth) Texas
Hi, I am Chase Harrell, and I go to Crawford High School. I am in the seventh grade. I think that it is really cool that Bush, or president lives in our community. I don't think that my opinion will count, but I knew form the begining(no offence) that Gore was going down. I hope that President Bush loves his stay at our wonderful town of Crawford.
Isn't it great to have a man of character in the White House again. Every American can once again hold his/her head up high and be PROUD. L. G. "Willy" Williamson, Rockwall, TX
Hi Danny: Loved seeing your picture at the ball at Crawford. Hear you have a thriving business. Best Wishes from a Bush fan. Lois Pardue Smalley

We enjoy looking at your web site often. We have visited Crawford once and hope to come back soon. How was your Ball?, We heard you had a very special guest and his wife. What a proud moment for you all!!!! We liked the story about Frito, the big steer that was at the Ball. What a neat touch!!! Keep up the good work. We love TEXAS!!!! and GEORGE W. BUSH Marla and John Baer, Syracuse,In
This is a great way to show your appreciation for the great town of Crawford, home of George W. Bush, there could not be a better person in the White House.
Thank-You Diann Clary
Danny, I think you have a great web page. I need a couple more caps, with the green bill. Thanks. Bill Smith
When is Crawford going to get some businesses? Us city people like to do more then just look at the traffic light flash off and on. Need shopping mall.
Hey! My name is Chad Savage and I have visited Crawford many times because my aunt and uncle live there and own the Fina Gas Station. Stan and Kathy Nagel and Jacob are lucky to live in the town where our President has a ranch. Lots of my family live around the Crawford area. They spread out from Moody to McGregor to Crawford to Valley Mills, and to Whitney. Right now I live outside of Dallas in a medium sized town called Rowlett. I plan to spend my entire Spring Break in Crawford helping my aunt and uncle at their store.
Fun to see Texas and especially that beautiful part of Texas. Will bookmark and check back every once in a while. Kay Willoughby, Salt Lake City, Utah (an ex-Texan)
Good Luck for Al will be back Gore in 2004
Very nice website for Crawford. My husband and I are from Waco and I went to Camp Fire Girls camp at Tonkawa when I was young. We're proud of Craw- ford and George W. Dot & Bob Nabors, Littleton,CO
Ok, great site. But I still can't get over turning on the news here and hearing Crawford, Texas mentioned. Especialy after 30 years of explaining where I am from! BTW, I like your picture section. I might still have a stack of pictures of Tonkawa from 20 years ago if you are interested. Dan Holmes danielkh@aol.com Villach, Austria
Great site! If possible, it would be nice to have a sports section to see the days scores.

Hola! To all my friends in Central Texas--Miss Ya, and hope to see ya again someday. What a great website. I'm sending all my Michigan friends to visit :) Gina Glasscock -- Chesaning, MI
You are absolutely right about the beauty of Central Texas. As a former resident of Lampasas, TX, my family and I miss the blooming of the Bluebonnets, the smell of the Cedars, and the friendliness of the people. I hope we can return someday.

HELLO CRAWFORD, now that your on the map, we will have to visit soon, congrats to our NEW commander and chief, great website. Mark and Debbie, Copperas Cove, TX. and a true BUSH family fan..
WE LOVE YOU BUSH!!!!! YOU DESERVE THIS JOB!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!! SEE YOU IN 2004!!!!!!!!!
As 1986 Crawford High graduates, we are so proud that our children now have the opportunity to share in the same traditions and pride that we grew up knowing. Crawford is a very special town to us and we are thrilled with the website. As children we were fortunate enough to have access to the beautiful Tonkawa Falls (and several worn out swimsuit bottoms). After a decade(or more)of the Park being closed, access is once again available to our community. RV sites and tent spots are available for rental for anyone who will be visiting the Home of President George W. Bush. We are so proud of our home town.

A well planned and informative site. I have never been to Crawford, but since I make frequent trips to Waco to follow the Baylor Bears, I will soon take time to go by Crawford. I am glad for the locals that George W. and Laura are your neighbors.
Here's wishing you and the Bush family God's Speed in the coming months and years.

My wife and I visited Crawford on Saturday evening after the Colin Powell announcement at the elementary school that morning. We had been visiting in Temple and Belton, where our oldest daughter and son-in-law teach and coach, and where our youngest daughter attends UMHB. We enjoyed the visit very much and bought a couple of t-shirts. The people were typical small-town Texas folks - friendly and helpful. We also visited George W.'s ranch. The website is a great idea and nicely done. I'm glad the president-elect chose to buy a ranch near Crawford where he can stay close to his Texas roots and have a place to escape from the pressures of Washington. Citizens of Crawford, keep up the good work! You make Texans proud. James Carroll, Carrollton,TX
Thank you Crawford,Tx for giving me the opportunity to sign your guest book..I Know how wonderful your community and the people that live there are, for I have a great brother and sister-in-law that live there..John and Linda Heaton. I will be visiting there the first weekend in February for my nephew Jason's wedding..I can hardly wait..See Ya'll Soon Carole Walling, Farmington, NM
I can't believe all the wonderful things that are happening in the small town I grew up in. I just wish my Mother & Father were alive to see it. Love the web sites. Keep up the good work. After all, Crawford is the greatest place in the world. Patti Huff Bond (graduated 1962)
Congratulations on your website! My brother, a resident of your beautiful town told me about it and I look forward to visiting it often. My husband and I are big supporters of George W.

Very interesting site. Been to Crawford many years ago to visit relatives. Liked the area alot. Jeanette, Palermo, NY
I am an alumni of East Carolina University and was in Texas to see the Pirates play Texas Tech at the Astrodome. I spent the next week seeing some of your state. As a George Bush supporter I decided to visit Crawford. I especially enjoyed talking for some time with Danny Garvin, buying Crawford buttons and t-shirts and like the other tourists driving by the ranch entrance. Good luck to all of you. Barry Geib Reading, Penna.
It is exciting to visit the Crawford web address. Who would have dreamed that my little hometown would reach such notoriety! Keep us informed about what is happening in Crawford.

We had a nice lunch at the Coffee Station.
Laura Hobbs College Station, Tx
OK, so I'm NOT a Bush supporter; don't care for him a bit (and I'm an Orlando Floridian, so...well...you get the picture). Crawford, on the other hand, looks like a lovely place to live, and the website - save the wholly understandable Bush theme - is simple, informative, and easy to navigate.

I'm glad to see your web site so I can keep up with my hometown!

We are proud to have your Governor and neighbor coming to Washington, D.C., to straighten things out. We look forward to seeing Crawford in the news for the next 8 years.
George P. Sigalos, Esq. Washington, D.C.
Saw Crawford on the news and wanted to see if there was some place to order shirts. I am from Tx...Ft Worth and maiden name was Crawford. Proud of my state and I did vote for Bush (absentee, probably not counted, as this state did not carry him, but I'm hoping he keeps his promises to the country). Thanks for having the site to go to. Good luck to all of you in my home state!
Phyllis Merced, CA
This is great Hope your site continues to get hit by people wanting to know more about Crawford Greg Mangum Nashville, Tenn.
We are extremely proud to say that the founder of this website was our brilliant dad, which could not have made it without the technical help of our smart Uncle, we should get a lot of brownie points for that one:)! Aren't we lucky to be from the great State of Texas where President Elect Bush started out and will someday end up finishing. We are so proud of all your hard work and want to know that this site is great! Love you, Jessica, Emily & Matt

As a 1969 graduate of Crawford I.S.D., I am very glad to see that Crawford is being recognized around the world. I hope that with all the recognition that Crawford is receiving, that the fine people of Crawford do not forget what made Crawford what it was that made Crawford so attractive to begin with. Major changes are forecoming; some good, some bad. Handle these changes professionally and with pride and dignity. Ralph Lange, Robinson, Tx.

Danny and Steve~ Yall have done an excellent job with the web site. This is soooo exciting. I cant believe our little town actually has a web site. Just a few months ago when someone would ask me where i was from i would say "Crawford, you know that little town west of Waco." Now look at us....I love it!! Good Luck to ya Bush :) Make us proud. Kasey H.
This is a really nice site. I had fun reading all of the comments from people that have never visited Crawford. You've apparently done a good job "selling" Crawford, because a lot of people seem to have good things to say about the town on your message board. Anyways, it looks great Mr. Garvin! Nathan Lammert
Although we don't live in the city limits of Crawford our address has been Crawford for over 32 yrs. How pleased we are to have George W. and his family as new citizens of our community and may we make him and ourselves proud as we welcome the expected influx of visitors with that warm and friendly Texas hospitality. T. Scott
I am so very Proud to call a fellow Texan My President. George W. will lead our great Country with Honor.
