You can't put your fingertips on it. What I'm saying in a nutshell is the folks in West Texas are honest folks. When I came up, folks said a man's word is his bond, and your word should be your bond. Through all of that, a composite Lubbockite begins to emerge one who is friendly, honest and determined. I can't say you don't see similar things elsewhere, but I see things here that I don't in other parts of the country.
People are friendly.
You drive down one of the highways, and people wave as they pass each other. Obviously, there are exceptions. Just as the typical qualities of a Lubbockite could be found in a New York City borough, so could some of the negative qualities be found in Lubbock. We looked at each other and we thought about it for a month to six weeks and decided Lubbock is our home. It seems we appear to reach out more for each other.
