Tree planting ceremony in honor of child abuse victim

IN MEMORIAM -— Members of Texas A&M University-Kingsville fraternity Omega Delta Phi planted a tree April 14 on the grounds of the Kleberg County courthouse in memory of Clayton Durham, a 12 year-old Ricardo resident who was a victim of child abuse and died in 1998. Turcotte- Piper Mortuary donated the memorial marker and Brush Country CASA donated the tree and sponsored the event in celebration of National Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month. The marker read, “Given in honor and memory of Clayton Durham (4/1/86- 6/13/98), whose loss of life was not in vain. We will always remember.” (Photo by Erika Hernandez)
