Ballots for the election were mailed to over 4,000 known produc-
ers. The list was compiled from information supplied by county ex-
tension agents in the 111 counties of the referendum area. Producers
were to vote in the district of their legal residence. A map on the
back of the ballot should have answered any questions regarding the
district to vote in. The postmark deadline for ballots was midnight,
October 25,2002. Any ballot postmarked after that date was consid-
ered invalid.
The canvassing committee certifying election results consisted of
Mike Brown, Tom Green County Judge; Scott Durhanm, represent-
ing the District 7 Texas Agricultural Extension Service; Brian Murray,
representing the Texas Department of Agriculture; and Penny Price,
representing the S&GPMB.
Results are also being released to all county extension agents, the
Livestock Weekly, the Ranch and Rural Living Magazine, and local
papers within the Referendum Area.
The Board wishes to express their appreciation to all those who
participated in this process.

World war II caused a lot of people to see and do things that they
would never in normal times have dreamed of doing. The following
is just one of many such “happenings.” When President Roosevelt
ordered General MacArthur to leave the Philippines in March 1942
and take his family to the safety of Australia, he made the famous
statement “I shall Return!” There followed the infamous “Bataan Death
March” and the loss of most of the Philippine Islands. After arriving
in Australia,, MacArthur started a three year offensive against the
Japanese. By early 1944 his troops had freed most of New Guinea,
New Britain, the Solomon’s and the Admiralty Islands. In autumn
1944 he was ready to make good on his promise to return to the Phil-
ippines. One of the things that made the recapturing of the lost islands
was an unusual ship that was built for the purpose and was called the
“LST”. This flat-bottomed “contraption” was 328 feet ;long and 50
feet wide. The ship carried 130 officers and enlisted men. The bow of
the ship was straight across instead of being pointed, and this flat
front was a ramp that could be lowered so that men and equipment
could be loaded and unloaded. Reports are that there were about eleven
hundred of these ships built. They were slow, ungainly things having
a cruising speed of only eight knots (a little over 9 miles an hour).
Having a shallow draft these ships were able to travel right up to the
beach to load and unload equipment. Without the LST, MacArthur
might well have not been able to make good on his famous promise.
When, on October 20,1944 he waded ashore on the island of Leyte, it
was from one of these ships. And on LST 909 pulled up next to it, was
our very own “local boy turned sailor” H. L. Pyburn! He gave the
following account: the marines and engineers had already secured
the beach when the General stepped off the LST that had brought him
there, on the beach, and unknown to anyone there was an enemy sniper
hidden in a pile of rubble. The poor guy was probably scared to pieces
because whatever happened he was sure done for. Well, the sniper
started firing on the General and missing, the bullets were ricochet-
ing off the LST that H.L. was on. He said that MacArthur gave no
notice of the danger and kept wading to the shore. One of the engi-
neers noticed what was happening and raised the blade on the dozer
he was operating and covered the would be assassin with sand and
rubble, the General made good on his promise. H.L. and LST 909 and
crew went on to participate in the invasion of Mendora, Luzon, and
Okinawa. For the past eight years H.L. and the remaining crew mem-
bers have had an annual reunion, about 75 of the original 130 are still
around. H.L. Pyburn is back to being “local boy”! Have a great week
and may God continue to bless America!
