Bill Hill, longtime San Angelo chili cook, passed away on Thursday, August 4th. Chili cook-offs were a great enjoyment in his life and he won many awards for his skills.  Bill was one of the founding members of the San Angelo Republic of Texas Celebration. 

From Debbie LaLanne:

I hope this email finds everyone well. We are trying to get all the GPM registration forms in by the Friday, August 12th and currently show that the registration forms have not been received from the following pods. This form is completely separate from the pods credential packet that is sent to Janice. If you or the GP designate could email the following information to me by August 12th this will help ensure that we get the correct count on people attending the 2011 GPM. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you for your prompt attention to this.
