Songs my mother taught me,
In the days long vanish'd
Seldom from her eyelids
Were the teardrops banish'd.
Now I teach my children
Each melodious measure,
Oft the teardrops flowing,
Oft they flow from my mem'ry's treasure.

My name is Elnora.
Some Basic History
I was raised in Seagraves, a small town in West Texas, born in a smaller one: O'Donnell. My parents were Eugene Fulton Riggs and Henrietta Elnora Bayer Riggs. My parents and my brother, Eugene A., arrived in Southern California with me the day I was one month old. We settled in Lincoln Village division of Long Beach. My father worked in the Long Beach shipyards as a welder and ship fitter during WWII. We moved back to Texas when I was 3 years old.
We spent one year in O'Donnell working on my father's uncle's farm, then moved to Seagraves. I attended school in Seagraves for 12 years. I hold 10 perfect attendance awards from the Seagraves school system, having missed only 2 days in Second Grade with the measles and 1 one hour class in my Senior year. I graduated High School in May, 1959. From there, I attended the University of Texas in the Fall of 1959.
I was married to my first husband, Perry Davis, on January 29, 1961. We were married in the Interfaith Chapel on the campus of Texas A&M. Perry got a job teaching school beginning in the Fall of 1961 in a small town Northwest of Dallas, Coppell. Our first son, Tony Allen, was born on November 4, 1961. I worked for a short time as a receptionist/trainee bookkeeper in Dallas. I quit that job to stay home and be a full time mother and wife.
Our second son, James Anthony, was born on December 25, 1963. I got to bring James home from the hospital in a Christmas Stocking. What a thrill to have a son born on our Lord's Birthday!!
Our third son, Clay Ashley, was born on January 22, 1965. He weighed in at 9 pounds, 6 ounces. I decided then that I had better quit having babies before I had a really big one!
The boys were all born in the Baylor University Hospital in Dallas, Texas. We moved to Colorado in June, 1965. They all grew up in a suburb of Denver, Arvada.
There's a lot more in between those events, the current ones and the coming one(s). I just had to put this picture of "my" new truck on here. I just found it on the Mack Trurk page the other night while surfing the web. I have been busily adding it to my personal pages ever since!!
I became a truck driver in the fall of 1986. I pulled my first load on September 30, 1986. It was an oversize load. I fell in love with truck driving and have been in and out of a truck ever since. I am now in the process of obtaining financing that will enable me to purchase my own semi tractor again.
When the financing and dealing is all done, I will be "On the Road Again" doing what I love best! Hopefully, it will all come together for me in the next few weeks. Check back regularly for updates on this venture. See you down the road!!
