aware of the latter's activities. Hopefully, in time, many of the Webb
Society members will become members of the TSHA.
For its oral history project on Mineral Wells, Weatherford College
received the $250 Outstanding Chapter Award presented by executive
council member Clifton Caldwell. Ten individual achievement awards
were also presented at the meeting.
During the past academic year new chapters were organized at Lee
College (Baytown), John Britt, sponsor; Texas Eastern University (Ty-
ler), Andrew Szarka, sponsor; and Tarrant County Junior College,
Northeast Campus (Fort Worth), Duane Gage, sponsor.
PERSONNEL
The Association is fortunate in having a staff that is competent and
dedicated. Some of the staff have now been with the Association for a
number of years and they know a great many members. This makes for
a closer relationship between the members and the office.
With the publication of the Handbook of Texas, Volume III, Eldon
Branda now joins the ranks of Texas historians who are repeatedly
cited in scholarly works and left uncited in countless others. Through
his work in the Junior Historian program and Webb Society, Kenneth
Ragsdale is continually awakening an interest in thousands of young
Texas in the history of our state and is constantly encouraging hun-
dreds of school teachers to provide the best methods for sustaining that
interest. Barbara J. Stockley and Mary M. Standifer are always at my
side assisting with the editing of the Quarterly, checking footnotes, quo-
tations, and copy.
As important as all of that work is, however, the Association could
not function if the day-to-day administrative detail were not under
control. Colleen Kain, administrative assistant, watches over this func-
tion. Janie Headrick, secretary and bookkeeper, sees that we pay our
bills. And Ruth Mathews, membership secretary until recently, saw to
it that you paid your dues. Robert (Bob) Brown, mail clerk until this
past May 20, was the best we ever had in that position.
Ruth left the Association on May i to take a much better paying po-
sition. Bob, who holds a master's degree in political science, also left to
take a position with the University at several times the salary we paid
him. We wish them well in their new jobs; we deeply miss them both,
though. Shirley Pitts has joined the staff as a secretary, and Fred Davis
is our new mail clerk. We are pleased to have them with us.132
