Let me know how I can help. James(Councilman Massey) Great chatting with you today! College Station just sounds to me like it would be SO PERFECT for an Arcadia title. Can’t thank you
enough for helping out with getting this off the ground! Luke Cunningham, Arcadia Publishing Presentation went great. Congrats to Earl and you! Jay Socol, Director, Public Communications
Thanks thanks thanks thanks for hooking us up with Robin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kelly Kelbly, PARD Thank you for the quick response! Yes, we did host one of Willie Nelson’s Picnics
here at TWS, I can’t recall the year though. I will be sure to drop Mike an email as well. There is no rush for this information, just something we would like to have in order in the
next couple of months. I appreciate all of your thoughtfulness with this! Lisa Gorzycki, Texas World Speedway
Re: Bobby and the Hurricanes article on The Eagle Good coverage. It was a really good story too. Jo Anne Boykin, Austin, Texas This is great!!! You do awesome work and I personally want
to say Thank You for everything you do not just on your daily job, but throughout the community each day. Thank you for your presentation at the Library. It is still being talked about.
Brenda White, TAMU Cultural Diversity I read the story this morning and it was great! I know Tommy and Greg, but had no idea about the band. Awesome. If you ever want deeper reports
on just what Heritage is doing, I'm happy to provide it. Also, I can probably get you better data if you'll let me send your releases through my system. Let me know when you're ready
to do another one, okay? Jay Socol, Director, Public Communications Just wanted to send congratulations for that great article in today's Eagle. It was fascinating. Thanks to Dorothy
for putting the exhibit together and to Anne for getting it to the College Station Conference Center where everyone can enjoy it. Kudos to both of you for making our Hispanic heritage
come to life. Susan Irza Awesome. You’re becoming quite the topic as a traveling guest speaker. David Gerling, Supervisor How exciting that you included Col. Woodall's book!!! Of notable
mention, Col. Woodall was at one time Commandant for the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M. I worked in the Commandant's Office during his tenure. He is a great man!!! Debbie Lockledge, Sec.
to Judge Sims Earl, Just wanted to tell you that the Exploring History line-up for this year is first-rate! Kudos to you on a great job! Susan Irza
