Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

Celebrate the New Year and Texas Parks and Wildlife 
Magazine's sixty-fifth anniversary with its January issue. 
Associate publisher: Charles Lohrmann.

Well, 2007, marks the 65th year of Texas parks and Wildlife 
magazine. And we'll be commemorating that milestone 
throughout the year. For the January issue, we have an article 
on Orville Rice. He's the self-taught artist, whose distinctive 
wildlife illustrations created a unique identity for the magazine 
in the 40s and 50s. We have several of the covers of the 
magazine which was then called Texas Fish and Game 
magazine. Rice was acknowledged as one of the top wildlife 
artists in the country at that time. And he created a significant 
body of work that's closely identified with the magazine. 
Another artist who has more recently made a significant 
contribution to the magazine's identity is photographer Wyman 
Minzer. And we have a beautiful collection of his photographs 
in the January issue. And the cover is particularly amazing. It's a 
photograph of a gray fox, eleven feet up in an agave plant. 
Turns out the fox was there to eat bees. :60
