Steve Blow writes columns for the local section of the Dallas Morning News. Wednesday he featured one of our veteran Scouters from Wisdom Trail District here in the southwest corner of Dallas County.
Dallas and Scout historian Bob Reitz
Bob Reitz is also the curator of the Jack Harbin Boy Scout Museum at Camp Wisdom, a surprisingly great store of Scout history. Among many other things he does well, Bob is a historian of great stories.
This afternoon, May 10, he’s telling stories of Dallas in his growing up years in the “middle-middle class” neighborhood of Casa View, east of downtown. Bob’s got two hours (it will seem like one or less) at the White Rock Hills Branch Library, starting at 2:00 p.m. (9150 Ferguson Rd, 75228 (map))
You ought to go.
Below the fold, Steve Blow’s column, should it disappear from the DMN site.
