With a last name like Dallas, it isn’t surprising that my dad’s nickname was “Tex”.  Add to that the fact that dad loved everything country & western.  He often wore a cowboy hat and boots, loved country music, especially George Strait, was always reading a western novel, and loved Clint Eastwood, who is known for starring in some pretty well-known western movies.  What a surprise for me to be photographing at Steel Stacks in Bethlehem, Pa. and see my dad’s name, “Tex”, right up there on a wall on the outside of one of the buildings!  I’m pretty sure that was my dad stopping by to say hello and let me know that he’s still with me all the time no matter where I go!
