Kleberg County Has Been Adopted

Tina Sikes has adopted Kleberg County.

Your chance to adopt another county is still good as Collingsworth, Hemphill, and Zapata are still available.

End of Summer Special

The end of summer means cooler weather (107 degrees here today). Cooler weather
means more time spent indoors. More time indoors means more computer time. Okay,
so I am reaching a bit but I do have a reason for posting this message.

Hood County has now been added to the Orphan County List. Other counties on the
list are Collingsworth, Hemphill, Kleberg and Zapata. If you are interested in
adopting one of these counties, please contact me.

August Dedicated CC Award

The Dedicated CC Award for this month goes to Trey Holt.

Trey has been a member of the TXGenWeb Project since August of 1996 as the CC of Brazos County. The first SC for the TXGenWeb, Mike Basham, appointed Trey to be his ASC in September, 1997. The same day it was announced that Trey was our very first ASC, Mike Basham died of a heart attack. Two days later Trey became the SC and served at this position until November, 2002. He now serves as the TXGenWeb Historian. Trey is indeed a "founding father" of the TXGenWeb Project!
Thanks Trey for giving us a great foundation so the TXGenWeb could become what it is today!

job on these counties as well.
