tions of Hobsons have made it their
life’s work to keep people in Parker
County and most of North Texas
cool in the summer and warm in the
winter.
“The Hobson name is definitely a
huge part of my life,” Hannah said. “I
love our family. It’s huge and we do
everything together. It’s a huge part of
my life. Maybe someday I’ll take over
the family business. My dad would
love that.”
Hannah’s grandparents founded
the company, her parents, all three
of her dad’s siblings and a coupl e of
cousins have worked in the family
business.
Hannah grew up just down the
road from her grandparents’ ranch.
“They used to ranch out there,”
Hannah said. “But, now that’s where
we go for all the family stuff, all the
birthdays, all the holiday dinners.
That’s in Garner. I grew up just down
the road. I love it there.”
When asked to sum up her aspirations in a single sentence, Hannah
replied, “I hope that my future is as
big as my dreams.”
Jericka Graves
Weatherford High School
Graduating from Weatherford High School, Jericka Graves is planning on going into the International Guard. “Both of my parents were in the Air Force,”
she explained. “And I wanted to stay connected to the Air Force in some
way.” She will be staying in state after boot camp and basic training. “Since
the Air Guard is not a full-time job,” Graves said. “I’ll most likely start going to
school sometime next year and I’ll probably study Pharmacology.”
Jericka played on the varsity volleyball and track teams but she said she
will miss her lunch group the most. “We have this thing called mega lunch
where we have an hour of free time,” she said. “I’ll probably miss eating with
them the most.”
