Description
Thirty-five years ago this coming Wednesday a Reagan County wildcat, No. 1 Santa Rita, named for the patron saint of the impossible, was brought in as an oil well that changed the face of West Texas. It made millionaires by the score, created new cities, revitalized cowtowns and transformed the University of Texas from a struggling school of wooden shacks into one of the wealthiest universities in the nation. Frank Pickrell, El Paso, Texas, judge.
