MRA, launched in the East this spring, had been brought to the West Coast by Dr. Frank Nathan Daniel Buchman and 1,000 followers, many of whom traveled across the land on a 22-car "MRA Special."

In his largest role, Gene Howe is known to his Amarillo readers as Old Tack, the generous, convivial, duck-hunting, dog-finding, golf-playing conductor of a column of chatter called "The Tactless Texan."
