Rising Star Tobias Williams II has lots of attitude...a good, positive attitude. He attributes it to the examples set for him by his family, his high school football coach, and his church family.

“I am a reflection of my family,” Tobias said. “It’s important to me that I set a good example for others.”

The oldest of five children, Tobias is the son of Tobias and Krisha Williams of Many. His mother teaches social studies and science at Many Junior High. His dad works on a land rig in West Texas.

Something happened in his family several years ago that made a lifelong impression on Tobias. He began seeing people, events, challenges and life differently. That’s because his maternal grandmother, Cloteal Polk of Natchitoches, moved in with Tobias’s family where she spent her last year of life.

She was born in Spartman, Arkansas on August 9, 1935 to Edward Lee Richardson and Pauline Robey Richardson. Shortly after her birth her parents moved to Many where Barbara lived and worked for most of her life.

America’s most dedicated dad, Chevy Chase is determined to stay at home to create “the most fun-filled old-fashioned family Christmas ever” -- but life has a particular way of throwing wet logs on Clark Griswold’s fire.

Suburban family man Clark Griswold gets all a-dither about a family holiday. As is his sentimental nature, he puts too much emphasis on the production of it. He wants nothing less than a “fun, old-fashioned, family Christmas.”
