We try to be the best ambassadors that we can, representing Fort Stockton at the highest level. Whenever they ask us, where are you guys from, whether we’re in Amarillo, Abilene, San Angelo or those places we go to, we tell ‘em, it’s Fort Stockton. It’s Fort Stockton, Texas, with Comanche Springs flowing at times. Thank you so much, we appreciate this from the bottom of our hearts.”
