CEDAR HILL The “Super Collider,” the Ellis County-based greatest project that never was, did bring some positive developments to North Texas in the early 1990s.
That’s when a married couple of archaeologists – Joseph and Nancy Yedlowski – moved to the region, so Joseph could work on an archaeological study before the project proceeded.
The United States Congress decided not to fund the program – which would send and split atoms through a large tunnel.
But the Yedlowskis and their three young daughters were already in North Texas, so they purchased a home in Cedar Hill in 1994. Joseph continued working as an archaeologist.
First-Grader’s Kind Gesture Toward Only Black Student in Class Leads to 50-Year Friendship
An act of kindness from a first-grader to her classmate on the first day of school changed everything for one terrified Texas student.
This was in the 1970s, when young Kimberly Patman’s household was the first black family to enroll in the Cedar Hill school district in Dallas. She still remembers the moment a little girl tapped her on the shoulder during recess at Bray Elementary. It was an offer of friendship from fellow first-grader LeeAnn Polster.
Fifty years on, the pair are still inseparable.
