quite a fine looking crew. 89 huh, looks as tho she coulda been cast as mrs. d in lastest movie. Yessir, and she's probably more spry and full of fire than Mrs. D ever was! Another living link to the Waynamo is none other than Rudy "It Do!" Robbins. Here's the gang of four at Rudy's real estate office in Bandera, Texas. We'd stopped off in Bandera 02/28/2005 on our way to the Alamo Village in Brackettville and the hotel facilities there in Fort Clark Springs.

It was a unique experience, cole. Bracketttville and the Waynamo will always be there for memories of that film, but the Dripping Springs Set--particularly the town---made me feel that I was actually in the San Antonio of 1836.

what town is the cafe in? There are two Alamo Cafe locations in San Antonio. The one we went to is located at 10060 Interstate Highhway 10 West, between Wurzbach and Huebner. The other location is at: 14250 U.S. Highway 281 North, between Bitters andf Brook Hollow. The Alamo is a Bakery and Restaurant, which means that you can watch the cooks while they prepare fresh, thick tortillas and pan dulce. The restaurant fare is traditional Tex-Mex food, but boast's The Alamo's own Chicken-fried steak, which is what I had! With never-ending baskets of fresh tortilla chips and with everything around you having something, or other to do with the Shrine of Texas Liberty, the Alamo is a fun place to be.

You and Gary Foreman.
Whatever plan finally does go forward, its going to be rife with compromise. Because you can't please everyone.

"Here a little, there a little, the mission has been improved off the face of the earth" Was it William Corner who said that? Don't make me have to check, now.

It might be the quote of Charles Ramsdell. Does that name ring a bell?
