If it was an indoor pool, it could have been the Lee and Joe Jamail Swim Center at the University of Texas at Austin.

More like a minimum of 43 miles.

I work with Smithville Heritage Society and am very sure of this! His original land grant is spelled "Gazley", as is the street in Smithville which is named after him. You can Google "Thomas Gazley Smithville" and get a number of references to support the spelling. Other than that, I LOVE your blog and website!! Thanks for "selling Smithville"! My husband and I retired here in 1999, and have never looked back! You should come live here! Thanks for your great blog! Hi Blue Eyes,
