 "Only in recent years have I understood how Midland nurtured me, what I learned there by trial and error, how much of its West Texas sand still blows through my soul. It was in Midland where I first paid my apprentice writer's dues and dreamed those 'sweet dreams' I felt I was living when I first rode into Midland on a day coach that night 50 years ago." -- former Midlander Larry L. King, "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." (From a column by King published in the Midland Reporter-Telegram Centennial edition, 1985).
