Claude, Texas

Half an hour southeast of Amarillo is the town of Claude (population, 1313). It is famous for 2 things...







1. having one of the last remaining fully operational 'Soda Fountains' in the region,





2. Being the location for a number of films including "Hud", staring Paul Newman. His boots are collecting dust on a shelf in the Pharmacy.

"The Man with the barbed Wire Soul...HUD!" (1963).

Texas misses you already! There was a large vacant spot in the paper yesterday where your article has been. I'll cut it out and send it to you. You'll appreciate it after all the hell "someone" gave you.

What would it take to buy the boots worn in HUD? Stil available? That would be sweet.
Thanks,
