Who remembers Old Rip?

Can anyone attest to the old horny toad legend?

Is it true? or just a tall tale?

31 years is a long time to be by yourself.

Hoping some Eastland guys can weigh in.

In case you didn’t know the history.

My aunt and uncle had the Corner Drug in Eastland for many years and that was where I grew up. Everyone swore the story was true

My grandparents were originally from Eastland and I can remember reading the newspaper article about Ol' RIP that my grandmother had in a scrapbook. Whether it is true or not, I do not know, but it was reported in the local newspaper.

I saw it. It jumped outta that box further than the calaveras county frog. True story. LOL

Good friend of mines law office is just off the square in Eastland-he can tell you all about it.

I remember Rip Griffins.
