Leslie Leslie Ann Locke PhD Student, Texas A&M Community Liaison, Bryan Collegiate High School Thank you so much for your hard work on putting together the exhibit on Sunday, my mother and I really enjoyed it. Rose M. Garcia It was great talking to you today. I am glad to hear that you are continuing your efforts to preserve the memories of College Station intact. Sonny Benavidez Thank you also for working so earnestly for the BCHC.  I have been on the commission a long time and finally feel that we are beginning to do what we are supposed to be doing, preserving Brazos County History. Thank you and Dorothy for the wonderful exhibit. The exhibit is great. Thanks, Regina Opersteny It WAS fun- what a rich collection of pictures and all the "roots" of Brazos Valley's Hispanic community- so many familiar faces and brought back a flood of memories- and made some new friends. Karen Karli Webb The exhibit and reception was a total success,,,,thank you for everything!! Dorothy Hernandez As always, such good work. I think the poster just terrific. Jo Anne Boykin Re: Spirit of Aggieland Presentation Anne Boykin of the Heritage Programs/CS gave an outstanding talk on the early history of the B/CS area, including about Texas A&M University. Seems like all this worked together in helping to 'get the word out about our special community. Sincerely and Gig 'em! Joe E. West '54 Re: Quest for original CHS Tiger logo Thanks so much for the tiger. I found willing help at FastSigns on University, and have it to give back to you already. I was so smart to think of you as a resource! Thanks so much. Kathryn Gould Lindsay Re: Request from The Eagle I really appreciate you taking time to get these questions answered for me. I think it will really add to the story. The article should run in Saturday’s paper. Thanks again! Maggie Kiely
