It was no surprise when the votes were counted that Donna Selman had been awarded the distinction of Best All Around Stump Speaker at the 1st Annual Caddo Lake Stump Speech Festival. Congratulations, Donna. Next time you are dining at the Caddo Pie Company in Karnack, ask Donna or Judy to show you a copy of the poem.

Donna’s poem, “I Cried Out,” speaks for itself. We are proud to reprint it here.
