E. A. "Godie" Wright

"Sierra Blanca, Texas - The E.A. "Godie" WRIGHT Collection is the name that appears on one of the doors at the Sierra Blanca Chamber of Commerce. Stepping through the doorway is stepping backward in time through memorabilia and photographs detailing the 101-year history of the town of 700, and the history of this West Texas area. [Wright, 80, is former sheriff of Hudspeth County, retired border patrolman, Texas Ranger and "halfway historian.") The photos and other items collected detail Sierra Blanca's history from its beginning as a railroad stop in 1881."
