An effort to name a portion of roadway in Nacogdoches County in honor of late County Music star Bob Luman may have hit a “bump in the road”.

During the commissioners' court meeting Tuesday former Marine Michael Bishop described where he would like a stretch of highway from Loop 224 down Hwy. 21 to Chireno to be called the PFC Oscar P. Austin memorial highway.

Bishop told commissioners after he found out from TxDOT that there was an effort to name the roadway after Luman, he sent a formal request in writing to Rep. Travis Clardy to withdraw the bill in the Texas Legislature to name it in Luman's honor.

In March, Nacogdoches entertainer David Stallings requested a 15-mile section of the highway, the same as requested by Bishop, be named after Robert Glynn "Bob" Luman.

PFC Oscar P. Austin was injured during the Vietnam War after throwing himself between a grenade and a wounded comrade. The 21-year old was eventually shot and killed by a North Vietnamese soldier.

Bishop said he had the deepest respect for the Luman family and his contribution to society.

After commissioners discussed several options, they took no action until Bishop hears back from Rep. Clardy.
