Abandoned High School Building

This is the old High School Building in Putnam, Texas.  Putnam is a very small town in Callahan County, Texas.  The 2023 population was 68.  Students now attend high school in Baird, Texas.

The author of "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas", Larry King, came from Putnam.  

In 1919 the graduating class consisted of 3 students. 

Looking in through the front door, you can still see folding chairs and portable tables stacked in the hallway along with a large bulletin board with the school logo and 

"Go Panthers" encouragements. 

A room that must have been the library still has bookshelves with books on them. 

Even though I searched the internet for a short while, I couldn't located information about when the school closed.

Another trip back to the Creamery on the edge of Fairbanks.  It was another spectacularly beautiful day and I managed to get another perspective on the visitor's center.  

My heart is grateful for:

the salmon dinner I had last night when we all went out to celebrate a delayed Father's Day

Wilford Moore Stadium

This is a side view of the football stadium bleachers of McMurry University in Abilene, Texas.  It's home to the War Hawks football team and other teams.  The capacity of the bleachers is 3,200 and the field was opened in 1937. 

I'm grateful that:

I got a lot of work done around the house today and that the weather was so mild again
