we are going to leave our mark on and say or do something that will be a part of
their lives forever...
Thanks again for your influence in my life. I will never forget you and the many
good memories that you instilled in an eighteen year old kid.
Your student and friend, Joe Elledge.
This tribute bears witness to the many who knew and were so positively
influenced by Kenneth F. Neighbours.
Meetings
The Association will hold its o8th annual meeting in Austin, March
4-6, 2004, at the Renaissance Austin Hotel. Although we have just had
our 2003 annual meeting in El Paso it is not too soon to be thinking
ahead to next year when we will return to Austin for the first time in a
number of years. Ken Hafertepe and his program committee are in the fi-
nal stages of putting together the program for the meeting and, as usual,
it looks like we will be having a wonderful group of sessions on virtually
every aspect of Texas history from architecture to outlaws. Put a big check
mark beside March 4, 2004, on your calendar and join us in Austin for
three days of the best in Texas history, auctions, book displays and author
signings, banquets, special speakers, and the unique camaraderie of a
TSHA annual meeting.
