Born and raised, family has been here since the mid-1800's. Family was all from around the Temple area, but my parents ended up in Lubbock so here I am too.

Last time I was in Angelo was 5 or 6 years ago to pick up a pair of custom made cowboy boots. So we stopped at Zentner's Daughters Steak House for lunch, and it was just OK. Not near as good as it used to be, but they damned sure gave you plenty to eat.
When I was a kid, parents would drive over to the original Zentner's in Loweki 3 or 4 times a year. Back then, they were probably the best steakhouse in TX.

Our immigration was mostly from Germany and a bit from Czechoslovakia, almost all of it was about circa early 1800s to get here. Through the port of Galveston. And a few of the smart ones made it to Oregon, but not quite to AK.

Unfortunately I was born in Houston, but it paid the bills for Mom and Dad and we came back to the country as fast as we could afford to, and have been here since 79 enjoying the farm.

Never thought I"d find anything finer than TX. And then there was Alaska.....

I drive through those towns quite a bit. My best friend is in Muleshoe, so we're always going through those towns.

Born in Texas, immigrated north with my parents at an early age - Dad was in the oil business.

Moved back to Texas a few years after graduating from college in Wyoming.


It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

Alaska is owned by the Federales..

As were many of those early immigrants to this state, most of my family came here to get away from something!!!

From Collin county, Plano to be exact. It used to be a pretty nice little town. Now, its too stinking big.

Left for the Army right out of high school, 1986.

My folks still live there, sister and her family live in Wylie.

I cant how much that area has grown. No way I could live there again.
