After 51 years at the Austin American-Statesman, Kirk Bohls steps away. 51 years. He started there before Earl Campbell set foot on the UT campus. What a run! https://t.co/wIjewUoQK3
The end of an era. For anyone who spent 5 min in Austin this is disorienting. It’s like losing a relative. Or a lake. Or a cherished restaurant. There are no words. Congrats, Kirk. Thank you. #HookEm #IGiveItNineDucks https://t.co/QykCvRoxAo
