About Becky

Hello, I'm Becky Cooper, the local editor for the Victoria Advocate.

I joined the Advocate staff on April 1, 1985 as a general assignments reporter. Over the years, I covered several beats but the best was being the bureau reporter for the Cuero bureau-it allowed me to get out of the office, see what was going on in a four-county area. I went to a lot of great places and met a lot of people.

In July 2000, I joined the ranks of editors as regional editor. I have been city editor, now known as local editor, since July  2005.

I live in Yoakum with my husband Gary - yes, he is named after the movie star.

So with the nature of my work, plus living 40 miles from the office I am on the road a lot. There is a lot to see along the highways, county roads and gravel lanes. There is beautiful scenery and weird occurrences; ever changing landscapes with development of roads and highways and tearing down of wooded areas to make way for new homes; and there is an abundance of wildlife.

I will tell you about my adventures on the daily commute as well as relive some of my past adventures. So come along on my Daily Commute and share my adventures and share some of your adventures with me. 

Becky
