Aquifer district trustee home from hospital
Monday, September 8, 2014 by Jo Clifton
Craig Smith, a member of the board of the Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer Conservation District, was hospitalized on Saturday, over fears that he had suffered a “small heart attack.” Mary Ann Neely said Smith had gone to the Barton Springs pool, where he swims daily, but was in too much pain to swim and drove himself to the St. David’s Hospital in South Austin. He was released from the hospital Sunday evening. Smith is also an assistant county attorney for Travis County. Neely advises friends to call before visiting.
