Limerick-writing computer coming to area gift shop By KIRSTEN DIETZ Reporter Trying to find the perfect card for a special person can lx* difficult. The Computer Poet at the Rainbow Store in Post Oak Mall combines the spe cialty of gift personalization with computer technology to create unique greeting cards for any occa sion. The store should be getting its Computer Poet this week. The Computer Poet can compose a personalized three-verse, 15-line limerick in seconds with a little help from the customer. The customer must supply answers to questions about the person who will receive the verse. First, the customer asks for the name of the person receiving the card. If the name is not stored, it will ask if the name is male or female and how many syllables it has. Next the customer enters where the person lives. Now the customer tells the com puter what message he wants to send. The list of possibilities range from the common “Happy Birth day” and “I Love You" to “You Owe Me Money.” The computer will then ask for the person’s occupation. Sixty possi bilities are stored in the computer, and the choice is entered by a three- letter code. Next a dominant and a secondary trait are entered, followed by the name of the card’s sender. The data is displayed on thti# puter’s screen for the custoraniB proval. If everything iscorttfliB the customer hits “Y" for “Ye, ® Computer Poet will compostlli limerick.

Lincoln family hopes for Texas oil fortune United Press International LINCOLN, Neb. — A Lincoln family could inherit part of a long- lost Texas oil fortune worth as much as $1.5 trillion if the courts rule they are indeed the rightful heirs, the Lincoln Sunday Journal-Star re ported. In a copyright story, retired Bur lington Northern machinist Robert Cruey said family stories have been circulating for years in eastern Ken tucky, his birthplace. The 19-year- old Lincoln resident said one of the last things his mother told him was that someday the family would be fabulously wealthy. The stories, often sketchy and contradictory, center on several brothers of the Meadors or Medders family who left McCreary County in southeast Kentucky in the 1800s to seek their fortune in Texas. According to family tradition, the brothers obtained one-eighth min eral rights in lands near the Spin- dletop oil field near Beaumont.Oil was struck in 1901 and Spindletop yielded a bonanza of black gold that made it one of the richest of the Texas oil fields. On visits back home to Kentucky, the brothers came loaded with bulg ing money belts and boxes of shoes for their families, or so the story goes. In the 1880s, other members of the Meadors family moved west to homestead in northern and eastern Texas. The younger Meadorses con structed wooden oil derricks for the oil companj.es, which f requently gave them a fraction of their mineral rights in lieu of cash. The family in Kentucky even tually lost track of their Texas kin, and over the decades the details of the Meadorses’ mineral and land holdings were lost to memory. The oil companies did not forget, though. According to family ill hers, oil companies suchasAtf Mobil, Texaco and Phillips coni ued to send percentages of A profits into escrow accountsio: Meadorses’ names at various yf around the country. In the 1960s, a family meji happened to see a legal adietl ment in a newspaper. The fedf government was looking fori heirs to the Meadors estate,wkii | that time was valued at$20blos [ The legal claims have comes ■ and furious since then, but nod 1 has proved to whom thefortunfi 1 longs. Two or possibly threegt® | are vying for the riches, whidi‘ | estimated to range anywhere I $20 billion to $1.5 trillion, “ate I big as the national deficit,"jd I Cruey, 57. As many as 4,000 people,ini | ing Cruey and his five children : t involved in one faction led by| ington, Ky., civil servant Jewell! I bins. Jim Mitchell of Lexington,K' | spokesman for the group, said! r ily members are collecting gened i ical data to prove their relations J to the Meadorses. Mitchellsaids | hope to take their claim to the(» 1 soon. The Crueys are connected to | original Meadorses through Ri 1 ! Cruey’s great-grandmother, 1 ell said. For a time, the Crueys were* | ciated with a rival claim led byjo 1 Howard Meadows of Oneida,ft I That group is said to have allied self with a third faction run by ins James Clark of Cincinnati Dan Proffit of Elsmere, Ky. About two weeks ago, the cate' transferred to a Texas court, a similar suit was thrown out: years ago.
