Notable people

Dan Blocker (Dec 10, 1928 - May 13, 1972) was born Bobby Dan Blocker [5] in DeKalb in Bowie County, Texas. His parents Mary and Ora Blocker moved to O'Donnell shortly after his birth. He graduated from Sul Ross University and taught school in Sonora. He later served in the Army before moving to California and shooting to fame as Hoss Cartwright on the NBC television series Bonanza. A small museum in O'Donnell features limited Blocker memorabilia. He was also an active liberal Democrat.

Must have missed where I put up pics of it being totally destroyed the other day. It was an all brick mailbox.

My Dad was a high school principal for years and finally got tired of his mailbox being smashed, run over or blown up. So he had the shop class make one out of 1/4 steel mounted on a railroad rail. :eek:lol:

I just put a coat of paint on my mailbox the other day. Looks a lot better. Plus the numbers were fading.

Bad thing is, they don't make the style of brick that it was made of, and which my house is built of. So he said he would get the closest thing to it. Hope it turns out ok.
