After a fine lunch at a cafe in West, we visited the museum, arriving just in time for a presentation by the major of Company F. The major, who has achieved much in his lifetime, attributed any success he may have had to excellent training and strong leadership. His humility, intelligence, and dedication to public service truly impressed me.
After the presentation, my dear ol' dad and I explored the museum, where we saw the finely engraved Remington Model 8 Frank Hamer was carrying during the Bonnie and Clyde ambush as well as a rifle that belonged to Captain Jack Hays and a knife made by Rezin Bowie, the brother of Alamo defender Jim Bowie.
We had a fine, easy-going trip and look forward to another little Texas adventure soon.
