    UNT alumni who’ve made names for  themselves are featured in two recent books by alumni. Gayla Brooks Kokel (’69)  co-wrote Oak Cliff (Arcadia  Publishing), which tells the history of the Dallas community through more than  200 vintage and recent photographs. Included are some famous former North Texas  students who were graduates of Oak Cliff’s Adamson High School: singers Michael  Martin Murphey and Ray Wylie Hubbard and Grammy-winning opera tenor Hank Price  (’69). UNT at Dallas also gets a mention.
 
 
 
 
 
In The Ticket Full Disclosure: The Completely  True Story of the Marconi-winning Little Ticket, a.k.a., The Station That Got  Your Mom to Say “Stay Hard” (BenBella  Books), Scott Boyter (’93) covers the history and the personalities of the  Dallas-Fort Worth sports radio station, which is celebrating 15 years on the  air. George Dunham (’88) and Craig Miller (’88), who met as freshmen in West  Hall, lead the station’s morning show.
