Publisher Ed and Editor Amy Standifer owned and operated the Bastrop Advertiser newspaper for a remarkable 47 years. During World War II, they encouraged submissions of letters and photos from persons in military service as well as from families on the home front and printed military news plus press releases. This compilation of 727 articles about 390 men and 5 women in military service is a microcosm of WWII; 34 of the men lost their lives and 8 became prisoners of war. For readers more interested in WWII history than in persons’ names, we have bold-faced all words in the text that tell military news and happenings.
As the magazine of the Texas Exes, The Alcalde has united alumni and friends of The University of Texas at Austin for nearly 100 years. The Alcalde serves as an intellectual crossroads where UT's luminaries - artists, engineers, executives, musicians, attorneys, journalists, lawmakers, and professors among them - meet bimonthly to exchange ideas. Its pages also offer a place for Texas Exes to swap stories and share memories of Austin and their alma mater. The magazine's unique name is Spanish for "mayor" or "chief magistrate"; the nickname of the governor who signed UT into existence was "The Old Alcalde."
