Like your tagline as I am a descendant of Deaf Smith and Thomas Miller, Alamo Defender (Gonzales).
I’m just a naturalized Texan, since 7/8/76, when I reported for duty at Fort Bliss.
Two of my greatest gifts to my 3 children: I made sure they were born in Texas; and I taught them how to swim at a very young age (prior to age 4).
