You mean the crossroads at Beeville used to be a town?

Can't help ya with that one. I spent six years there in approach
control. Left behind many good friends. I use the online newspaper to
keep up with the happenings of the area. I can easily picture myself
returning to south Texas someday. But in all fairness Victoria would be
more likely. Found Kerrville quite nice as well.

I understand it is doing quite well. The prisons they built down there
have served the economy nicely. Surprising.

Spent two years there instructing, and departed with the decomm-ing of
VT-26. Loved it.
