December 13, 2009 – McAllen
The Rio Grande Valley has some beautiful sunsets even with the telephone poles mixed in with the palm trees.
Anne and I were at Christian Fellowship Church in McAllen this past weekend. The pastor was graciously invited by an elder to attend a Dallas Cowboy football game so we were more than happy to stand in for him. We had a great time and they had a good time, even though Dallas didn’t have their best day. We are looking forward to returning there next week to spend Christmas with them.
This past weekend while in McAllen we received the sad news that Othal Brand who served as McAllen’s mayor for 20 years passed away at the age of 90. He held office in McAllen from 1977 to 1999. He was a great visionary and helped make the Valley what it is today. Our condolences go out to the Brand family.
