FUN FACTS

On August 12, 1978 at the Texas-Oklahoma District Convention in Amarillo, Texas the Past Lt. Governors Association was formed under the leadership of Governor Don Wilson (1976-1977) and Lt. Governor Arthur Swanberg (1976-1977). The symbol of the organization was chosen to be the Roadrunner due to the miles a member of PLGA is willing to travel to assist others
