With that goal in mind , we focus our art events in the Downtown Palestine area to support our Main Street businesses . I always offer a smile to everyone I see and look for the good which is always all around me . A sense of humor is an essential part of my life , and I strive to use my ability to promote , fundraiser , ��������������������������������� picture for art events for DAC .

Martha Tyer |
I was born in Landstuhl Germany and my Mom is a full blooded German . Of course , my Dad met her when he was in the Army stationed in Germany . I have one sister and two brother . My Mom has always had a heavy accent and all my friends loved coming over to visit with her . I have a lot of relatives that still live in Germany today . When we came back to the states we lived in El Paso and then my Dad got out of the service . We moved to Kilgore at that time and eventually moved to Palestine . I graduated from Westwood High School and Trinity Valley Community College . I married and then had two sons and now I also have two stepchildren that I consider my |
own . The best part of all of this is that I have two grandsons ! I so enjoy spending time with them . I have had a couple of different jobs , but I have now been in banking for 29 years and work for Commercial Bank of Texas . I love traveling with my husband , Randy , and I also go on a ladies trip every year with some of the best friends ever . Even though it seems like all I do is work , I have tried to join ��������������������������������� community , like the Chamber of Commerce . My husband owns Tyer ’ s Auto Air and Taxidermy , so he is also a business owner in the Palestine community . We really like living in this area . When I am not working or going to events with Commercial Bank of Texas , or helping with the Chamber , I enjoy working in the yard with my ������������������������������ grandsons , laying by the pool and relaxing or traveling . |
