The book features a decade&#8217;s worth of Dodge&#8217;s popular National Public Radio vignettes alongside longer pieces from newspapers and magazines.<\/p><p>Fans of his wry and insightful commentary were excited to revisit familiar themes, from Texas junkyards and railroads to bookstores, horned toads, and the enduring legacy of his grandmother&#8217;s homemade grape jelly.<\/p><p><strong>About Tom Dodge:<br \/><\/strong>Born and raised in Texas, Tom Dodge is a true son of the state. A graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of North Texas, Dodge served his country in the U.S. Army and dedicated his career to education. He was a high school English teacher before becoming a professor of English at Mountain View College in Dallas for over two decades. Tom served as a commentator for KERA-Radio since 1988 and is also known for his poignant book, &#8220;Oedipus Road: Searching for a Father in a Mother&#8217;s Fading Memory.&#8221;<\/p><blockquote><p>&#8220;We were honored to celebrate Tom&#8217;s achievements and showcase his love for Texas,&#8221; said Melissa Basham, Executive Director of Legacy Oaks of Midlothian. This book signing was a wonderful opportunity for the community to connect with Tom and hear his remarkable stories and entertaining insights. He is truly a gifted storyteller.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc5ef88 uael-aspect-ratio-16_9 uael-youtube-subscribe-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-uael-video\" data-id=\"dc5ef88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"uael-video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-video__outer-wrap  uael-video-type-youtube\" data-device=\"false\" data-vsticky=\"no\" data-hidedesktop=\"\" data-hidetablet=\"\" data-hidemobile=\"\" data-vsticky-viewport=\"0\" data-autoplay=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-video-inner-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-video__play\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lGsZSB4AFD0?rel=0&amp;start&amp;end&amp;controls=1&amp;mute=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uael-video__thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/legacy-oaks-of-midlothian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/baxter-senior-living-tom-d-video-thumbnail.jpeg\" alt=\"Legacy Oaks of Midlothian | Tom D video thumbnail\"><\/img>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-video__play-icon uael-animation-\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa fa-play-circle\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe2b1ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fe2b1ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Watch this heartwarming tribute to a true Texan legend and see why every day at Legacy Oaks of Midlothian is an opportunity to create meaningful memories.<\/em><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">For more information about Legacy Oaks of Midlothian or to schedule a tour, please <a style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center; background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/legacy-oaks-of-midlothian\/contact\/\">contact our Midlothian team.<\/a><\/h2><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><br \/>Want to keep looking around our community before contacting us?<\/h3><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/legacy-oaks-of-midlothian\/photo-gallery\/\">Look at photos of our independent living, assisted living, and memory care community.<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/legacy-oaks-of-midlothian\/lifestyle-options\/assisted-living\/\">View our assisted living programs and amenities.<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/legacy-oaks-of-midlothian\/lifestyle-options\/independent-living\/\">Learn more about independent living.<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/legacy-oaks-of-midlothian\/lifestyle-options\/memory-care\/\">Learn more about memory care.<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/legacy-oaks-of-midlothian\/how-to-pay-for-senior-living\/\">Learn more about how senior living pricing works in our guide.<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legacy Oaks of Midlothian, a local senior living community, recently had the pleasure of hosting a book signing event for Tom Dodge, a treasured resident who is an accomplished author and former KERA 90.1 commentator.
