“We thought we had a big shot at that play,” a beaming head coach Craig S ...
NEW YORK & LAKEWAY—This begins as a sports’ story, but that won’t take long.
Jack Crabb is the son of John and Kimberley Crabb of Lakeway, and I’m Kim’s dad.
John and I are huge sports fans, so we had plans for Jack a few hours—maybe a few days—after October 24, 2002.
He did try.

The majestic two-story home of early Llano County leader, Robert F. (Bob) Rowntree, located approximately 20 miles from the town of Llano on RR2323, is one of few structures in the county that adequately reflects Nineteenth Century architecture at its finest. Its construction stands as a reminder that an area of Texas that had long been part of the wild, untamed frontier had come to an end.
