About Me
Who Is TRAVIS L AYRES ?
Hi, and welcome to my website. . My name is Travis Lamar Ayres. My parents named me after two legendary Texas heroes... Col. William B. Travis , who died at the Battle of the Alamo, along with all of the Texans he commanded..... and Mirabeau B. Lamar, who was the 2nd President of the Republic of Texas. (Thankfully my parents didn't name me "Mirabeau") My mother, Mary Alice Jones was from Texas but dad, Tommie Ayres was from Louisiana and that's where I was born and raised. I was the youngest of three sons. Brother Tom became a newspaper man and author and saw five of his books published. Brother Robert became a respected educator.
In 1968 I joined the U.S. Navy and sailed away to South Vietnam. Somehow, all of the people and places that I've just mentioned prepared me to become a Radio Broadcaster, Writer and Author.
