The old red brick building that stood on South Ash Street in Archer City for eighty-nine years is gone, but the memories of those who attended school there haven’t faded. Local author Jim Black (Class of 1971) has gathered together some of those memories in his latest book titled Through These Halls.

Hello, my name is Kurt Wolf, and I am a lifelong resident of Archer County. I have been married to my wife, Summer, for nearly 23 years, and together we have three children: Katy, Wyatt, and Charlee. Archer County is not just where I live-it is where I was raised, where I built my home, and where my roots run deep.

I have served as the Archer County Judge since 2015. I have been a small business owner since college. I have never been an employee, I have always been a decision maker. My financial decisions have affected me, my employees and their families. I have learned from mistakes and successes.

Hello Archer County, my name is Cory Glassburn and I currently serve as Mayor of Lakeside City, Texas. I’ve had the honor to serve my community and Archer County in this role for 10 years. Whenever someone asks why I want to be the Archer County Judge, it takes me back to why I chose to serve as Mayor. Simply put, it’s because I want to make a difference in the same community where I live, where I have my family, my friends, pay taxes, support the local schools, and volunteer when someone in our county needs assistance.
