  1. On a summer day in 1964 George Brown drove Charles “Chuck” Beatty to North Texas State University in Denton. It was an important ride for two reasons. For one, it was out of necessity. “I was recruited, but I didn’t have a way to get to Denton,” Beatty said. “So George stopped what he was doing, picked me up and took me to college.” But that ride was important for another reason. It was then that Beatty told Brown, a former mayor and longtime councilman in Waxahachie, that he would one day return to Waxahachie and give back, much like Brown did. “He was one of my heroes,” Beatty said, adding that Brown was a World War II hero at the Battle of the Bulge and then returned to serve Waxahachie. “So I wanted to follow in his footsteps. I said when I come back I’m going to give back like he did.” Beatty lived up to his promise, and Monday the city of Waxahachie recognized him for his service to the city. The Waxahachie City Council approved a resolution to name the new City Hall Annex Building the Charles Beatty Municipal Services Building. The building is being constructed across from City Hall and will house several of the city’s departments. But just as important to many, it will also bear his name. “To me this is gratifying that the people of Waxahachie would consider me to have my name on the building,” Beatty said after the meeting. “Everything that I did was a labor of love and not for an honor.” Beatty graduated from Waxahachie High School in 1964 and then attended North Texas State University – now the University of North Texas. He was then drafted to play in the National Football League for the Pittsburgh Steelers and later played for the St. Louis Cardinals, and he also served in the U.S. Army National Guard. read more: https://www.waxahachietx.com/2022/07/19/waxahachies-city-hall-annex-to-be-named-after-chuck-beatty/
