It started 50 years ago, in 1967, Lester Inman and Myrtle Oestreich opened the doors to Inman’s Kitchen and Bar-B-Que. It all began in a small red stucco building located at 1006 Berry Street with sawdust on the floor, and three options for meat -- beef brisket, ham and turkey sausage, a unique item created by Lester Inman. Over the years they catered meals for many special occasions, Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic, Huntsville Prison rodeos, parties for Lyndon B Johnson, and many mo ...
The Llano High School classes of 1967 and 1972 celebrated homecoming weekend with class reunions.
The number of members in the Llano High School Hall of Fame totals over 100 individuals and numerous teams, but each year the new list is an impressive one.
