Send us Fan MailThere are many things we take for granted or don’t think about what goes in to bringing something in front of us.  Historical markers fits in that category.  We drive past, perhaps stopping to read a marker and enjoy the experience.  But most of us don’t think about all that goes in to the process of manufacturing and placing a historical marker.   An important part of the process is a company out of Corpus Christi; Texas called The Southwell Company.  This fascinating company has a rich heritage of it’s own and deserving of its own historical marker. In this episode I visit with a new friend, Harry Lee Chester, Jr.  Harry is the owner of Southwell Company and is directly active in its leadership.   I invite you to join us in this fascinating look at a company the is instrumental in helping us know the story behind the story of historical markers. You can learn more about the Southwell Company and Harry Lee by visiting their website at:  https://southwellco.com.  I encourage you to consider their products if you are thinking of setting up a historical marker. They also have a presence on Facebook.  https://www.facebook.com/thesouthwellco Support the showIf today’s episode has resonated with you or helped you in any way, and you’d like to support the show so we can continue to bring you new and free content, I’ve set up an account on Buy Me a Coffee.
