WIMBERLEY-- It’s a start—a real good start for Marcos Vallejo, the Llano High junior who may be the only athlete in Texas upset with an All-State year.

The nation was at war in 1944, and that stark reality was very plain from the headlines of The Llano News that year. Unfortunately, the headlines were all I could read on many of the pages (the 1944 microfilm at the library is not very clear, and I don’t have very good eyes), so the details will be a little sparse in this look at the "home front"
