The Oliver family-(l-r) Hunter, Laura, James and Justin
RISD will soon be welcoming its new superintendent, James Oliver, on February 1st of the 2021 semester. I went to meet Mr. Oliver at the Meet and Greet held at the Gilmer Memorial Library last Wednesday, where he agreed to a feature in the Texas Mohair Weekly. We wanted to ask him a few questions about his background, as well as his interests, so that the Rocksprings community could get to know their newest administrator/educator on a more personal level.
Rocksprings Edwards County Volunteer Fire Department did respond to several calls during the holiday due to cold, wet, ice and snow covered roads. Made for a busy couple of days!
