As posted elsewhere....
9:30am is the time to hear speaker Reavis Z. Wortham.
As a
boy, award-winning writer, Reavis Z. Wortham hunted and fished the river bottoms
near Chicota, Texas, the inspiration for the fictional setting for
The Rock
Hole. He was born in Paris, Texas, but lived in Dallas. “We grew up in the
city and went to school there, but every Friday evening my parents put us in the
car and made the 120-mile drive to Chicota, where we truly
lived at my
grandparents’ place in the country until Sunday evening, when we came back to
the city. Our true home was that little farm in Lamar County.” Reavis graduated
from W.W. Samuell High School in Dallas. He attended Eastfield Junior College
and graduated with a B.S in Industry and Technology from East Texas State
University (now Texas A&M, Commerce). Upon graduation, he began a teaching
career in Garland, Texas. He received a Masters in Education from E.T.S.U. and
after ten years in the classroom, Reavis took the job as Communications
Specialist for the GISD and remained in that department until he retired as
Director of Communications in 2011.
He is the author of
Doreen’s 24 HR Eat Gas Now Café. Humor editor
and frequent contributor for
Texas Fish and Game Magazine, he
writes on everything from fishing to deer hunting. In addition to several other
magazines, his work has appeared in
American Cowboy and
Texas
Sporting Journal. A retired educator of 35 years, he and wife Shana live in
Frisco, Texas. They have two daughters, Chelsea and Megan.
Since 1988, Reavis has written a self-syndicated weekly outdoor column for
numerous Texas newspapers.
Please turn off cell phones during program and refrain
from talking among yourselves while the speaker is talking. Try
to keep your questions "general" rather than very specific to your own
personal plot -- this will be more helpful to the whole audience.
