Title: Some Great News!
Post by: Craig Tx on December 19, 2021, 09:26:32 AM: Howdy Y'all!

It's a little strange posting here, as I'm usually taking up space in People of the Time. But I just had to share my news.

I've just competed my paperwork and training. I'm now an official Living History Volunteer at the Alamo. In addition, I'll be doin' living history volunteering at the presidio La Bahia in Goliad.

I'm really honored to be allowed to join such august organizations. So if'n any of y'all are comin' through San Antonio, or Goliad give me a shout. If I'm goin' to be at either place at that time I'd love to meet y'all!

Don't think i'll be in San Antonio anytime soon.
But I was there once when I was stationed at lackland AFB.
Enjoy
Kevin

Carol still is mad at me for taking a photo of it without her and her brother being in the picture.... There were some other tourists in it, of course. (Sigh) Can't win for losing! :luff:

Thanks! Actually I'll be doin' more Living History than Docent volunteering. Although in a pinch, I could certainly help out in the docent area.

The volunteer requirement is only 12 hours per month. I'm sure I'll be able to keep postin' Texas History tidbits.

Thanks Bro'! They seem to think so! They are thrilled to have me as a volunteer, especially since I'm quite familiar with the material, and that I have my own kit. It's not often that they get basically a plug and play volunteer.

But that they did!
