‘It’s like you were born again’: Anson veteran helps …
ANSON, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) - Walking into Tipton's Old Anson Diner is like stepping into a U.S. history museum. Owner Micheal Tipton comes from a family with strong military ties. As a Navy veteran, he uses his diner to display historical photos he received from his family or other local families who served. In the back of the diner, you can find Tipton chatting with Samantha Rodriguez who works at the restaurant as a server. While working, Rodriguez casually mentioned she was studying for her U.S. citizenship exam. After living in Texas for years, she decided to take the next step in becoming a citizen. Tipton offered to help her study in a heartbeat.
