You have a great site! This is something that every Texan should see and I will pass it on to my acquaintances. I also want to thank you for the story on Kerens and the link to Kerens.com. Tommy Darby has worked long and hard on his website and he has done an excellent job. Tommy and his website have been instrumental in the recent interest of local and ex-Kerensites in the revitalization of downtown Kerens. Thanks and keep up the good work. - Ivey. Kerens, Texas

There are a lot of tour groups here that have fun local celebs "host" a tour to highly cultural exotic locales like Branson, Mo. I think you guys could book an entire jumbo jet offering a special, "Let's Do Italy, Y'all" tours with Gail as the guide. - Sandi

Next time you are in Harlingen contact The National parks people in Brownsville. You should visit the Site of The Battle of Palo Alto. Where U. S. troops won the battle by using the soil and vegetation of this area as an aid. The marsh like condition of the soil and the sharp pointed grass was a natural enemy of advancing troops. Superior technology of the artillery firepower played a big part of the outcome of the Battle of Palo Alto. Being able to make artillery shells explode in mid air was a a big advancement for the time. Check with the National Park Service they have a detailed description in both the English and the Spanish point of view. - Gary Gregory

So finally back home in the dusty thick of it all, the hurried life of a 4million+ peopled city, we check out Texas Escapes . It's great. I've never lived in Texas, as my husband has, but you all do have a different way of expressing yourselves, don't you? I think it's easier for me to express myself in Spanish than it would be in Texan! Anyway, is there some way we can send Texas Escapes to friends like in an e-mail newsletter? ... we know some folks who'd probably enjoy giving it a look if we sent it to them. - S Mayne, Monterrey

There are many stories in The RGV from King Ranch to San Juan Mission battle of Palmento Hill many battles of civil war era, last battle of civil war fought here 3 mos after the war was over. Many historic resources like an abandoned railroad built by Zachery Taylot and his troops. Now lies in ruin marking a bygone era in our history. This land now belongs to the Laguna Atcosta wildlife area US Fish and wildlife Service. Rio Hondo even had a semi-pro Baseball team in the early 1920's. Or the Baila Family descendants of the Padre that Padre Island's namesake. How the fast talking gringos stole the land from their uneducated family members who could not speak English. Or even more recent Senator Benson and his Family History. The National Parks Service In Brownsville has many stories and historic articles about the war of 1812. To name just a few that comes to mind. - Gary Gregory

Your site gave me another excuse this Sunday morning to not do my taxes. I printed out part of the "swimming to mexico". As a swim coach at a Texas school, I do try to give our children goals! Keep up the good work.
