daughter, Teresa
Schlumpberger
Most of you
know me as "Teresa's Mom
Ann" and from the F.O.R.
breakfasts and various F.O.R.
events that I have helped
with in the past couple of
years. I live just outside
of Sweeny, on F.M. 524.
 I
enjoy spending time with my
family and friends at "Coffee-Time"
-and gardening. I have a son
Aaron and
daughters, Jeana and Teresa
and 4 grandchildren.
Several of you have visited
my home at
Christmas time...and everyone
is welcome. It is decorated
every year, from top to
bottom, inside and out -
with lots of lights- and my
Santa collection, which
fills every room. My
husband, Bob, was "The
Santa" in Brazoria County
for many years, until his
passing in 1999. Continuing
the Christmas traditions
that he and I started
together has helped keep
these memories alive for our
family.
I am proud to have been
chosen as Friends Of the
River's Member of the Month
for June. I enjoy all of my
new F.O.R. Friends and love
every minute I spend on the
San Bernard River.

Trail leading to largest Live
Oak in Texas
A Giant in the Woods
On April 7th, 2003 the Texas
Forest Service presented the San
Bernard National Wildlife Refuge
with the Champion Tree
Certificate for the largest
known Live Oak tree in the State
of Texas. The impressive giant
surpassed the previous champion
from Goose Island State Park.
The tree circumference measured
386 inches with a height of 67
feet. The average crown spread
is 100 feet. The tree is located
in one of the bottomland units
(San Bernard Wildlife Refuge) of
the Austin Woods Conservation
Partnership Project.
Visitors can enjoy an exciting
experience while walking the 3/4
mile trail to the observation
platform in front of the San
Bernard Oak. Be sure to wear
comfortable shoes,
and bring water and bug
repellent. Access to the trail
is controlled in order to
minimize disturbance to the
tree. .
