[edit] Mark Henry

He is actually from Silsbee, Texas. In fact, the Silsbee article mentions him as being a famous native son. I recommend it for deletion from this page, unless it is documented that he "grew up" (or the like) in Beaumont.

[edit] LAPD Chief

Where did Chief Parks grow up? does he still have family in Beaumont Texas?

[edit] 2006 flooding

From subsection "Severe weather events": On May 29, 2006,...Numerous homes were flooded, but no major flooding occurred. Well, which is it? --Blainster 08:32, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

There's a distinction between some flooding and major flooding. -- Cyrius|✎ 00:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Melissa Meadows-fiber artist?

Google of

"melissa meadows" fiber

brings up 3 hits: two for this article, and one from the minutes of a Hurst-Euless-Bedford I.S.D. meeting.

Doesn't strike me as that famous.

[edit] History

The last sentence sounds way too informal and personal. I'm removing it.--Makiten 23:56, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge from Joseph Perkins Pulsifer

A merge from Joseph Perkins Pulsifer has been proposed.

• Merge. The Beumont article mentions a business partner but not by name. I'm guessing it's Pulsifer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Emana (talk • contribs) 23:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC).
