So did I, 29 years ago. However my wife is a teacher, and had to take the college level Texas History course(s) to be certified to teach in Texas, and I got to sort of follow along. Similarly my daughter also took it at the college level, but only a few years ago. And now my granddaughter and two grandnieces will be taking it, but maybe not (or maybe so) at the college level. They are only 1, 6 and 7 respectively.
I've always been a history buff, and Texas had always interested me.
