Art Talamantes
Weather Specialist
Born and raised in San Antonio, TX, Art did not get interested in weather until joining the Navy in 1955, serving aboard two different aircraft carriers as an aerographer (weatherman) where weather information is a must. After leaving the Navy, he worked for the Texas Department of Transportation as a draftsman, although this did not seem to satisfy his interest in weather.
By this time, the US Weather Bureau was needing personnel, to replace all the women who worked in weather during the war; they were retiring at a fast rate. His first duty station was in Wichita Falls, TX, and then Midland. Art also worked in the Northwestern Caribbean Sea doing hurricane research and in Panama and Colombia doing wind studies for the Weather Bureau. Art and his family moved around in Texas, settling in San Antonio for a while.
Finally, Art was assigned as Officer in Charge of the NWS station in San Angelo, TX, retiring in the mid 1990s.
