Do You Have Football Artifacts You Would Like To Share With The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum

The High Plains Observer received a note from a viewer that wanted Dumas to be aware of an opportunity to share football artifacts with The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum.  This is what Lisa Barr wrote us:

I'm Lisa Barr and I live in Spicewood, TX, but originally I'm from Monahans.
I was contacted by the guest curator of an upcoming exhibit at The Story of Texas Museum in Austin (The Bob Bullock Museum) about an upcoming exhibit he's planning.  The reason I was contacted is because a mutual friend knew about a 45rpm record I saved by Fred Crawford about the 1968? game between Monahans and Dumas where we beat you by 1st downs or penetrations (one or the other).
Anyway, the museum is looking for football artifacts.
Here's the link

I thought you guys might be interested in putting something in your newspaper about this exhibit, as I know Dumas ate, drank and slept football back in the late 1960's and early 1970's.

Thanks Lisa for sharing with us.  I bet that there are folks out there that would love to share with this museum your memories of past football artifacts.  Follow the link above for more information or read below an excerpt from their website here on the High Plains Observer Dumas

Texas High School Football: More Than the Game
Texas high school football is more than a game. It is the bond that holds together communities, from small burgs barely able to field a six-man team to 5A suburban schools that faithfully fill 20,000 seat stadiums to cheer their hometown heroes. It is the soul of Texas towns. It is the caravans of cars that drive 200 miles on a Friday night to support the home team, the endless post-game analyses in coffee shops, the local pride in past victories and legendary players. It’s also marching bands, drill teams, pep rallies, mascots, cheerleaders, twirlers, booster clubs, fans and fanatics. For at least a few hours every week in the fall, Texas high school football is the glue that transcends cultural, ethnic, and spiritual differences to define us all as Texan.

The action on the field, the noise in the stands, the pageantry of halftime and homecoming, the rousing pep talks in the locker room, the pronouncements echoing from the press box, the grueling hours of practice, are all part of a larger story about ourselves as Texans – a story that will be told at The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum as it has never been told before by guest curator Joe Nick Patoski.

Do you have artifacts, film footage, or photographs related to Texas High School Football as it is described above? If so, and you would like them to be considered for the exhibit, please email footballexhibit@TheStoryofTexas.com.
