The next ARA luncheon will be held on Friday, March 28th, in the Alcon Crossroads Conference Center.

Our speaker will be Quentin McGown, who will talk to us about the history of Fort Worth. He is a well-known local historian whose family has lived in Fort Worth for generations. He served six years, three as Chair, on the City of Fort Worth Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission. He is a past chair of the Tarrant County Historical Commission. Quentin is an attorney, an Associate Judge in Tarrant County’s Probate Court Number One, and author of four books about Fort Worth.
If you have something specific you’d like to hear about in his talk, let me know.
