Robert Allan “Bob” Dillard II

Submitted by Edgar on

FORT DAVIS - Robert Allan “Bob” Dillard II, 74, of Fort Davis died Saturday, July 20, 2019 in Lubbock, Texas surrounded by loved ones.

A celebration of life for Bob has been planned for 6pm Saturday, August 3 at the Kelly Pavilion behind the Old Union Building. The family asks that those planning to attend dress casually and come with an empty stomach as there will be briskets, beans and tortillas to eat while Bob’s life is celebrated.

Bob was born May 17, 1945 to Allan and Laura Margaret Dillard in Tyler, Texas. His father, a lawyer by trade, had the family on the move for a portion of Bob’s early years living in Tyler, Corpus Christi and eventually Fort Worth.

Nuclear fuel headed to Andrews? House bill pending with subcommittee

Submitted by Edgar on

WEST TEXAS - A three decades old political argument could be the cause of spent nuclear waste being transported across some of the most deadly stretches of interstate and highway in Texas.

Yucca Mountain, a $19 billion hole in the ground, is located about 100 miles outside Las Vegas deep in the remote desert. This site was proposed to be licensed as a federal repository and the federal government’s answer to nuclear waste storage.

Even though Congress designated Yucca Mountain as the location for a national permanent nuclear waste repository back in 1987 and a test tunnel was dug, the site was never licensed.

A historic Stanton tale not to be forgotten

Submitted by Edgar on

STANTON - A stranger walked into the Stanton Drug and told Glenn Brown, “Hi, I’m Jon Voight and we’re going to shoot a movie here.”

Despite the fact that Glenn was well read and had been to lots of places, he hadn’t the foggiest who in Sam Hill was Jon Voight.

That was back in the late summer of 1968, when Stanton was selected for some of the scenes for Midnight Cowboy, a rather daring movie for the time. According to Fred Caruso, the unit manager for the Jerome Production Company of New York, Stanton and Big Spring were selected for the early scenes of the movie after driving over 4,000 miles in Texas looking over prospective locations.
