COUNTY LIFE
Jesse and Michelle Brown
By DEBRA DUNLAP
On Valentine’s Day, we often tell our loved ones, “I give you my heart.” Michelle Brown has gone far beyond that sentiment. She is giving her sweetheart one of her kidneys.
Michelle Wadsworth and Jesse Brown grew up together in Bowie. Buddies throughout high school, they ran with the same crowd and hung out together often.
The couple’s parents both still live in the Bowie area. Jesse’s parents are Jesse Sr. and Rosa Brown, and Michelle’s parents and Jimmy and Marie Wadsworth.
Jesse graduated from Bowie High School in 1988 and Michelle followed in 1989. As often happens with high school friends, the business of growing up, starting careers, and having families resulted in them losing touch with one another.
In 2010, the two reconnected on Facebook. Catching up with one another’s lives, they discovered that both of them were single again. Love bloomed, and the rest, as they say, is history. Read how Michelle is making plans to donate one of her healthy kidneys to her husband to save his life in the Valentine’s Day feature in your Saturday Bowie News.

Speed limit changes are being put in place on FM 103 North of Nocona. The 60-mph zone is being pushed North of Grayson Street.
As part of the transition, the 45-mph speed limit will be extended just North of the Texas New Mexico Power Office. Drivers see 50 mph signs up to Grayson Street where it becomes a 60-mph zone.
Portable message boards were placed on FM 103 on May 27 to advise motorists of the upcoming changes. The new signs will be unveiled and be enforceable starting June 3.
Citizens and officials with the City of Nocona requested the changes. They were approved by the Texas Transportation Commission in April.
Drivers should be prepared to watch and observe these new speed limits signs in Nocona. Drive safely in Montague County.
