San Saba Mixes Up Graduation Speaker With Santa Anna
The 1962 San Saba High School graduation featured Dr. Gaston Foote, a Fort Worth pastor and lecturer, arriving late after incorrectly thinking he was to speak in Santa Anna. He traveled 80 miles in a driving rain, amid ribbing from locals who joked about his Texan geography. Patricia Renfro is noted as a Texas State Pecan Queen. The town plans to send Foote a burlap bag of pecans as a witty gift for the mixing up of San Saba with Santa Anna.
