Merle Anthony Avenue a great idea

November 30, 2009

I'm on board with the unofficial campaign for Merle Anthony Avenue.
One reader proposed it in the "Letters to the Editor" section of our paper on Sunday, and I think his idea is a good one.
Being the old fart that I am, I have been fortunate enough to actually be friends with some of the people who have things named after them -- like D.L. Ligon and Flip Hoskins and Lloyd Ruby.
I know how proud they were to be honored forever.

And naming the section of Avenue H beween Monroe and Giddings -- the street that runs right in front of Wichita Falls High School -- would be perfect.
Mrs. Anthony truly was one of the great, great teachers in this town.

I know we have had other great teachers, but you have to start somewhere and Ms. Anthony would be the perfect starting point.
Then we could go on to Joe Golding Field and Eddie Hill Boulevard.
