As a military brat, I lived in England for many years and my sense of wonder and love of the past has its roots to the first time I touched the stones of Stonehenge and did my first rubbings of tombstones in the old English Church cemeteries.

This love of the past has encouraged me to explore the roots of San Antonio’s culture and the missions are an exciting place to begin. I imagine that these mission doors (Portals) have welcomed many souls over their threshold and they hold many untold stories.
