re: Just flew into Austin

So every SEC state is in the top 10 except Texas, Oklahoma and Florida.

Sounds about right

Yikes, this isn't good.

Looks like we need to up our trailer house game if we want continue to be known as "Mobilehoma"...

"Haha I'll never forget the first time I ran into leslie down town. It was my freshman year at UTex, 3rd or 4th day after moving into the dorm. We walked off campus down to 5th street and there he was, in all his glory. I knew we weren't in kansas anymore"

I ran into him in about 2000 in a bookstore. he was wearing a UT Cheerleaders outfit with a blonde wig halfway on his head.

Texas has more trailer parks per acre than any state lol.

Austin's airport is actually named after an Aggie who was killed in WWII, John Bergstrom '38

---

Austin's airport is named after Captain John August Earl Bergstrom. He was the first native of Austin, Texas killed in World War II, at Clark Field in the Philippines on December 8, 1941. He was a graduate of Texas A&M.

FIFY

I didn't want anybody to get the wrong idea about my birthplace. I was born on Bergstrom AFB in Austin, Texas and we moved to the Philippines when I was 2. poetic, huh?

The Honor was bestowed on Capt. Bergstrom by virtue of him being the first native of Austin, Texas killed in World War II.

The fact he was killed in the Philippines and him graduating from Texas A&M were not germane to the Honor.

Del Valle Army Air Base was constructed on land owned by the City of Austin and was "loaned" to the US Government in September 1942.

Bergstrom was a Strategic Air Command base in the late 50's, home to B-52 "Stratofortress" bombers equipped to carry nuclear weapons. Any commercial & residential development in proximity to the base was done with that fact in mind.
