It’s Monday, January 5th.

And it was on this date in 1941 that James Otto Richardson - born in Paris Texas, was relieved of his command of the United States Naval Fleet by President Franklin Roosevelt.  He supervised the transfer of the Pacific Fleet from the mainland to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.  Richardson strongly opposed the transfer, believing that the fleet was not prepared for war with Japan. Throughout the move, he urged Roosevelt and the Navy to reconsider the relocation.

After being relieved, Roosevelt offered the job to another Texan…Admiral Chester Nimitz, who declined the position at that time.  He accepted it

10 days after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

For most of Boerne, your original trash day will stay the same. For Herff Ranch, your Tuesday trash will now be collected on Thursday.
