Another Battle of the Alamo

Dallas, Tx, CBS 11, July 14th.

Thousands of visitors come to the Alamo every year, but now there is another Battle of the Alamo brewing between the Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT) and a member who has filed suit against the organization saying that they are not properly preserving it.

The DRT has been running the operations at the Alamo in San Antonio since 1905. Sara Reboly has filed a complaint against them because the roof is cracked and leaks. Bits of plaster fall from time to time.

The DRT do not charge to visit the place and rely on donations, grants and souvenir sales to bring in $5 million a year, about half of it going to the 98 employees who work at the site.

I wouldn't mind spending $5 to see the place. Besides Fort fisher and Pearl Harbor, this is my favorite battle to study and read about.

Let's Hope This Gets Settled Soon. --Cooter
