There is much more waiting to be posted ~ I apologize for 
not getting it all done in December. We have some new 
members and more obits waiting to be posted. We have 
received some really nice donations towards our "Wish 
List."  
 
I have a special request. I am still looking for early 
editions of the Tampico Tornado newspaper - anything before 
1927. We have most years, but we are missing scattered 
issues. Please check you atticks, garages, barns and 
basements - watch at garage sales, or estate sales. We also 
need early editions of the P-town Echo or Spike 
(1850s-1950s). Thank you so much. 
 
Please note that the HY&T video is now only availabe as a 
DVD. It is the same price of $20+ s/h. Thank you. 
 
For those who have asked - the Tampico Centennial Year 
Books are available on 2 CDs. They also include two indexes 
- One for photos and one for articles. Price is $15+ s/h.

the time to donate your time, expertise, photos, money and 
all the great info submitted. It is so appreciated by so 
many people all over the world! YOU are what continues to
