Howdy and welcome to Wise About Texas, your award-winning Texas History Podcast. My name is Ken Wise, your host. Thank you very

much for tuning in. I am grateful that you are a listener and lover of Texas History.

You're joining thousands of people around the world

getting some Texas history through this podcast and I really appreciate it. This is the

90th episode of Wise About Texas. Now that does not include the bonus episodes I put out from time to time.

This is the 90th regular episode. I cannot believe that there have been 90 episodes of this podcast. I never anticipated that it would be as popular

as it is. It has been way more fun than I ever thought it would be. I have met people all around

this state. I've had the opportunity to travel all around

this state talking about Texas history to different groups. If you've got a group that you think

could use Texas history presentation, I really enjoy doing that so just

hit me up at host at wise about Texas.com and if we can make it happen I'm always glad to speak to

Texans anywhere. Well, it's summer of 2020 when this episode is being released.

I took a little bit of a break.

We had a family trip to the Old Republic of Texas, which some people refer to as the state of

Colorado. We traveled over a thousand miles one way and never left the Old

Republic of Texas. We enjoyed some cool weather up there and some Colorado

hospitality but I'm back at it. If you've listened to this podcast for a while you

know that I am a Court of Appeals justice by, and I've got an election coming up this November,

so I'm not sure how that's going to affect the production schedule this fall.

I'm guessing probably not

occurring at this point in 2020.

So we'll just have to play that by year.
