On Sunday, Nov. 7, a Selman/White reunion was held at the Manchaca home of Bart and Margaret Selman. Coming from several states, as well as places in Texas, the group totaled 82. The oldest was 94-year-old Nola Brown from San Angelo. Good food and good times for all along with beautiful Texas weather made the family get together a time to remember for all the descendents of the Selman and White families of long ago Buda.
