 Catfish Callaway
 
     Gary Callaway was born in Houston, Texas one hundred and four years ago and studied theater at North Texas State University after a brief stint as an art major. "I had to reconsider after one of the girls in the Drama Dept. asked me to come by and watch a rehearsal. She was beautiful." In 1970 Callaway left North Texas to start his own theater company in a ghost town in New Mexico. In 1973 he started Reunion Theater in Houston and, after 6 years of production, left Houston for the desert and Far Flung Adventures. "And he ain't been seen since."

 Voni Glaves
 Secretary
 voni@bigbend.net
     As a teacher, spring break to Big Bend was Voni's favorite destination for retreat.  After she and husband Paul retired in 2004, they set off to see the world, got as far Big Bend and felt instantly at home.  Sharing pictures and inside looks at our treasures led Voni to becoming an editor at the Terlingua Moon, an editor for Terlingua Today, and South County Bureau chief at the Alpine Daily Planet.  Her acting experience includes a non speaking part in high school.
