Lively LegacyIn May of 1974, a spirited young editor named Frank Lively repurposed a state highway department publication called Texas Highways into a travel magazine—in his words, a “showpiece for Texas.” Within a year, the Texas Legislature had named the 33-page monthly “The Official Travel Magazine of Texas,” declaring that “every effort be made to enlarge its growing family of readers.” Texas Highways’ topics have expanded and our look has transformed over the decades, but true to the Lively legacy, our readers—active and armchair travelers alike—remain our focus, and never more so than as we launch our 40th-anniversary celebration for 2014. 
January EventsJanuary’s events include the Driller’s Reunion at the Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum at Lamar University, celebrating the 113th anniversary of the discovery of Spindletop oil near Beaumont; Laredo Crime Stoppers host the Menudo Bowl; the Garland NAACP holds several events honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King; and NASA offers the chance to have lunch with an Astronaut at Space Center Houston.
