Local Historic Notes From City Council and Community Ties
In 1980 the Robert E Lee band planned a Chicago trip with a police escort through Houston. In 1989 Mandy Stout of Mont Belvieu met George Strait after an anonymous La Porte reader arranged the meeting amid her battle with brain cancer. In 2002 the council considered a profile questionnaire for a future city manager and appointed interim Gary Jackson, after Mercedes Renteria urged skipping a full search.
