It seems like eons ago that little Christopher Ramirez chased his neighbors’ dog into the woods and was missing and later found after three full days.

On Friday, Oct. 7, a gathering will be held at the American Legion Hall, 415 Hill St. in Anderson at 10 a.m. for those who took part in the search and whoever else would like to attend. A breakfast will be served. Please RSVP to lisa.bates@grimescountytexas. gov.
