All the cars were in a police-escorted parade to the Alamo. Werner and Eva Hacker from Sao Paolo, Brazil rode with us.

 

Sneed and I visited the Alamo on our honeymoon in 1972. At that time we took a photo on some chairs in this very spot. The chairs have been replaced by the bench.

TX has contributed a lot of brand names

Here are a few

Recognize any?
