The Eddie Trice Story

His legend began at the age of eight years old when he began skipping school to help his dad move houses with the family business. He had to get tough and get tough young to survive in the rowdy times of 1960’s Midland, Texas . It was a rough wild place back then reminiscent of the wild west in 1800’s Tombstone, Arizona. Saloons, gambling, fighting, and drinking where all rampant. After winning fight after fight, he became Midland’s very own Paul Bunyon of sorts. His story is one of big highs as he became a hero of the honky tonks, and one of big lows as he struggled with addiction. His story is one that deserves to be told and one that we can all learn from. I hope you enjoy this ride with me!
