Veteran journalist Bob Schieffer was born in Austin and raised in Fort Worth, where he graduated from high school. He went to TCU, got his degree, and then joined the Air Force for three years. After that, Bob got a job working as a reporter for the Fort Worth Star Telegram. It was the beginning of a meteoric career that saw ended up with him moderating Presidential debates In between, he was the host of "Face the Nation" for 20+ years, the host of the CBS evening news, interviewed every President from Nixon on. He's also won virtually every award in broadcast journalism, including eight Emmys, the Edward R. Murrow Award etc... And, through it all, Bob's inborn Texas friendliness shined through: I always liked him. Part of Bob's journey involved going to Vietnam in 1965 for the Fort Worth Star Telegram. His assignment was to interview Texans about their experiences. This Monday night, on Feb. 9, Bob will be talking about that at an event sponsored by the great folks at @spcouta . You can read about it at this link: xitter.cf/spcouta I am thinking of going, though it is a 400 mile round trip for me. Maybe I'll spend a day or two in Cowtown afterward. Here's Bob on the right in Vietnam in a photo with a real "Apocalypse Now" feeling to it. I wonder what Bob thought when he saw that movie 15 years later. Anyway, if you're anywhere near UT-Arlington on Monday night, the opening of the exhibit would be pretty neat to attend.
