Plennie Wingo - Who's That?

I was reading an article by Matt Taibbi the other day, and he mentioned someone I'd never heard of. The person's name, alone, was intriguing - Plennie Wingo. Who the heck was Plennie Wingo? Maybe you know if you are from Texas, or like 'modern' history, or the Guinness Book of World Records, or listen to Dave Anthony podcasts ( Plennie Wingo | The Dollop Episode #493!)... but, I don't fit super well in any of those categories but the history one, so I didn't know who Plennie Wingo was.
