Guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, LPGA founder Babe Didrikson, actress Belito Moreno, musician T-Bone Walker and pastor Tony Evans are among those who once called Dallas suburb Oak Cliff home. SMU faculty member and author Alan Elliot will discuss these personalities and others at a book talk.

Elliot, Patricia K. Summey and Gayla Brooks, authors of Legendary Locals of Oak Cliff (Arcadia Publishing, 2013) will speak at the talk sponsored by the Dallas Mayor's Summer Reading Club.

Elliot, an Oak Cliff native, is a faculty member in SMU's Department of Statistics and the author of more than 30 books, ranging from histories to children's books to technical books.
