5/11/92 Trip to San Antonio. I-10 to overnight in
Houston. LaQuinta accommodations a lot to be desired. Everything built on a
slant. Tight security, Nice conversation with Lois Campbell. Dinner next door
at Denny’s.
5/12/92 So deeply engrossed in Civil War tape enroute
to SA that we nearly ran out of gas. Sweaty palms and red light on dash
reminded us we were in trouble. Harwood, Texas + a lonely Exxon tank at a
general store on a lonely country road came to the rescue. Good to see Bob +
Gen at the Meadows. Lovely home. Lunch at Luby’s + dinner in the dining room. A
tour of the extensive Medical Center in p.m.
5/13/92 A beautiful day. Toured Old Mexico Village in
a.m. Had lunch at Mi Tierra. Saw dramatic rendition of the “Alama” at the IMAX
theatre at River Center. Dinner in the dining room at the Meadows, then a movie
Bigfoot – hilarious – at Bob + Gen’s.
5/14/92 Tom met us + we followed him around the loop
too their beautiful home on Wing Foot Lane. Spent the day driving around the
area. Saw deer in the State Park + many lovely homes along the Guadalupe River.
Also visited the Jim Avery Jewelry Store.
5/15/92 Left Kerrville early for Baton Rouge where we
spent the night at the Hampton Inn after a Chinese Buffet. A long day’s drive!
