Include. cultural influences, pedal events and importantpersonages,influencer on neighborhood, on the city, etc. The house at 206 S. Church Street was the home of Russell "Rex" Halstead and Frances Halstead and their family from 1960—2002. Cindy Halstead, daughter of Russell and Frances Halstead said that when she was a little girl her father, was planting a garden in the backyard and found cut sandstone blocks that were believed to be the foun- dation stones of the old First Baptist Church building from 1870. Russell"Rex" Halstead and Frances Halstead moved to Grapevine in 1958. Rex was an Air Traffic Control- ler at Amon Carter Airport. He had learned this skill in the Navy; he was a World War II veteran and was stationed in Okinawa. Frances worked on Main Street in a flower shop and then was hired by Sanger-Harris which later became Foley's. Rex and Frances had three children: Cindy,Bill and Robert. Robert was born in Grapevine and delivered by Dr. Ed Lancaster. Rex and Dr. Ed became good friends;Dr. Ed took Rex flying before Rex died at the age of 48. (The Halstead's son,Bill Halstead,lives in Orlando; their son Robert flies for Delta.) Rex was a native of Fort Worth and Frances was from Ardmore, OK. They met in Fort Worth when Rex was in the military. After his military service, Rex's job took him first to a town in South Texas; then he transferred to Amon Carter Airport. Frances had a friend who lived in Grapevine, Fay Hicks,with whom she corresponded. Fay told them that if they were moving to the area, they should move to Grapevine. The Halsteads purchased this house which was near the Hicks'home on Northwest highway(the Hicks'home is now gone). "Grapevine was a wonderful town. The population was under 10,000 when we moved here. We didn't lock our doors, and we kept the key in the ignition of the car. We attended First Baptist Church and loved the people here," said Cindy Halstead. When Rex died, the church and Air Traffic Control friends rallied around the family and really helped them. Regarding the house, Cindy said that her dad worked on the house a lot. He had a workshop in the garage;a garden on the side; and pear,peach and pecan trees in the yard. There were two bedrooms and one bath in the house. The house had nice windows and being on a corner, there was a lot of traffic that went by. They ate at the kitchen bar—Frances was always asking Rex,"what are you looking at?" "Mother adored her house and loved her life here. She died in 2002. She volunteered at the Grapevine Pub- lic Library and served on the Library Board; she also volunteered at the Visitor Information Center, a job she loved because she loved people," said Cindy. "Mother loved to read and she also loved art," Cindy said. Sallie Andrews knew Frances from First Baptist Church and also from the Grapevine Convention&Visitors Bureau Visitor Information Center. She remembers her being very kind, friendly, stylish/fashionable and always greeting everyone with a big smile and friendly conversation. The Halsteads lived in Grapevine and contributed to the community through their church and by volunteer- ing. They were part of the fabric of the growing town;they shared their love of Grapevine with others and helped move Grapevine into the future. HL26-01 ; 206 South Church Street 17.

(The Halstead's son,Bill Halstead,lives in Orlando; their son Robert flies for Delta.) Rex was a native of Fort Worth and Frances was from Ardmore, OK. They met in Fort Worth when Rex was in the military. After his military service, Rex's job took him first to a town in South Texas; then he transferred to Amon Carter Airport. Frances had a friend who lived in Grapevine, Fay Hicks,with whom she corresponded. Fay told them that if they were moving to the area, they should move to Grapevine. The Halsteads purchased this house which was near the Hicks'home on Northwest highway(the Hicks'home is now gone). "Grapevine was a wonderful town. The population was under 10,000 when we moved here. We didn't lock our doors, and we kept the key in the ignition of the car. We attended First Baptist Church and loved the people here," said Cindy Halstead. When Rex died, the church and Air Traffic Control friends rallied around the family and really helped them. Regarding the house, Cindy said that her dad worked on the house a lot. He had a workshop in the garage;a garden on the side; and pear,peach and pecan trees in the yard. There were two bedrooms and one bath in the house. The house had nice windows and being on a corner, there was a lot of traffic that went by. They ate at the kitchen bar—Frances was always asking Rex,"what are you looking at?" "Mother adored her house and loved her life here. She died in 2002. She volunteered at the Grapevine Pub- lic Library and served on the Library Board; she also volunteered at the Visitor Information Center, a job she loved because she loved people," said Cindy. "Mother loved to read and she also loved art," Cindy said. Sallie Andrews knew Frances from First Baptist Church and also from the Grapevine Convention&Visitors Bureau Visitor Information Center. She remembers her being very kind, friendly, stylish/fashionable and always greeting everyone with a big smile and friendly conversation. The Halsteads lived in Grapevine and contributed to the community through their church and by volunteer- ing. They were part of the fabric of the growing town;they shared their love of Grapevine with others and helped move Grapevine into the future. HL26-01 ; 206 South Church Street 17.
