The Schleicher County Hospital District board of trustees met in regular session Monday evening and were introduced to Dr. Selina Burt of Christoval.

Hospital Administrator Paul Burke introduced Dr. Burt and explained that she is a board certified family practice physician.

He added that he has been recruiting her to practice at Schleicher County Medical Center.

Dr. Burt fielded questions from the board and advised that she was a “military brat” who ended up in Abilene where she graduated from Abilene Cooper High School before attending and graduating from Angelo State University.

Hometown Memories Publishing Company intends to save a big slice of local history before it’s lost forever.

Karen Garvey, Senior Editor at Hometown Memories Publishing, is asking local old-timers to share their memories for a living history book.  She invites anyone over age 60 with yarns about the “good old days” in The Texas Hill Country to write them down and mail them to her for possible publication in the book.  The hardcover coffee table book will contain tales of bygone years from people who actually lived them.

To encourage participation, Garvey is offering a $250.00 award for the most appealing story.  There will also be three $100.00 runner-up awards and a cash award for best picture.
