On this Day in Texas...

[Adidas410s]

in 1952...George Strait is born in Pearsal, TX

1978..."The Buddy Holly Story," a film starring Gary Busey as Holly, has its world premiere in Dallas. The movie was a critical and commercial success.

Now be honest and raise your hand if you can tell somebody where Pearsal, TX is without having to look at a map! I know I can because my dad spent the better part of two years working down in the Dilley and Pearsal metropolitan area! :thumbsup:
