My dad, known around here as Poppa, Michael Banks, is huge into conservation.  You can find a great article he wrote in East Texas Outdoors Magazine by clicking the link below and turning to page 46.  He’s published on blogs, in magazines and newspapers, speaks at meetings and appears in news casts all the time, but I thought you guys would especially enjoy learning about the Neches River and where I grew up in this one.  Great article, Dad!  Readers, enjoy!
