In 1980, after returning from a brief detour in NYC, I decided it was time to become an expert on something.  Considering my attachment to Enchanted Rock over the years, I thought, "Why not?  There probably isn't much on the topic.  I'll round it all up and write about what I've learned.   How hard can that be?"

I published my History of Enchanted Rock in the November/December 1998 issue of Enchanted Rock Magazine.   Although my involvement with Enchanted Rock prompted news articles, radio interviews and TV appearances, it was with the publication of the magazine where I accomplished the most, and served the most. 

Ira was featured in the Austin Chronicle, The Highlander newspaper (below) in Marble Falls, The San Marcos Record, and the German magazine Spotlight, as well as segments on KLRU-TV & KTBC-TV, plus several area radio stations including the syndicated "The Sound of Texas," with Tumbleweed Smith, and the syndicated TV program Texas Country Reporter ( the video "Bob Phillips Tours Texas State Parks" available at their website).

Ira was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation from the Texas Parks& Wildlife Department for providing numerous educational talks at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. Feature articles by Ira  have been published by Texas Monthly, Texas Highways Magazine and in The Nature of Texas (hardcover anthology) Texas A&M Press.
