In the Blink of an Eye
They say time flies when you’re having fun, but really, time flies independently of how much fun you’re having. Last week on October 1, the 68th Game Warden Cadet Class started their training to become Texas Game Wardens. Thirty-five years ago, to the day, the 42nd Cadet Class, of which I was a part of, began ours.
I saw some pictures of the 68th’s first day on the Texas Game Wardens Facebook page and couldn’t help but notice how much things have changed. The training center is impressive. Beautifully designed, modern buildings blend into a sprawling landscape. There are state-of-the-art classrooms and workout facilities, and the dormitories and dining hall are – dare I say – lavishly appointed compared to the old Texas Game Warden Academy that my pals and I from the 42nd attended.
