The Spirit of Lubbock© would like to pay it's heartfelt respects to the family of
"Chief" Frank Runkles.
He was born Dec. 28, 1909, and he returned to his maker, March 19th, 2002.
His passing came only three days before the traditional March 22 Taba'na Yuan'e sunrise
ceremony, which predicts the coming year's fortune.
Chief Runkles had led the ceremony for 29 years.
He never missed a ceremony.
The city of Post Texas will continue the ceremony in his honor, stating:
"We will go forward with the tradition. We know he would want us to."
He was 92 years old. The family suggests memorials to
In Focus Ministries, 1006 Cactus, Levelland, TX 79336
or the Garza County Historical Museum, 119 N. Avenue N, Post, TX 79356
