This article is from Gilmer, TX (Upshur county) in the Houston Chronicle.
I grew up in Longview, and Gilmer is almost a suburb of Longview.
I dated a Becky Parish (same exact spelling) in high school, and I'll bet Lauren (the judge) is a cousin of hers. Haven't seen Becky in 7 years. The last time, she was babysitting at my parent's church. My oldest son (now 8), was an infant and she took care of him.
