As a retired hitory professor/musuem director, I'm gearing up for these events s best I can from a distance; through the writing of a histor of "The Great Texas Panhandle Oil & Gas Field." Am also negotiating with the Hutchinson County Museum about donating my large artifact collection to it. If this goes through, I hope to return to Borger to live out my final days, for Borger will always be my hometown!
