come; and
	WHEREAS, Born in San Angelo on September 23, 1939, this 
lifelong Texan graduated from Kermit High School in 1958; he played

fact that he maintained his friendships with many of his high school 
teammates; and

counseling and administration; and
	WHEREAS, Coach Probst was a dedicated educator who excelled 
as a teacher, coach, counselor, and administrator during his

superintendent of schools; notably, his Terlingua High School golf 
teams were once featured in Golf and Leisure Magazine; and
