Many of their comments touched me. The note posted on my wall below contains the words I shared with them, after several had publicly reflected on our work together.

Bill White What do you think of the attached article on hiring generally, and it particular about the way we hire and recruit teachers? I am proud that my son Will, now working in the campaign, will be working in a classroom next school year in Teach for America.

Bill White A long Texas Monthly article about me this month says my ears are one size too big for my head. Oh my gosh. What should I do? Surgery? No, I would have to hit the campaign trail with bandages on my ears. Any ideas?

Bill White I am reading a book on the Texas Rangers. Some did good work in helping to suppress the KKK. A few years ago I was honored by an award a Ranger group gave me for my work with law enforcement. I had a great, great, great grandfather whose family bore my middle name, Howard, who was a Ranger and settled in Navarro County. The Rangers did some very hard work in the 1800s and along the border into the last century.
