Here are more photos from the
album made in 1968 while
my Dad was stationed in San Antonio. The first two photos show the
Mission San Francisco de la Espada, founded in 1690 and relocated to San Antonio in 1731.

The next photo shows
Mission San Juan Capistrano. It was founded in 1731 and renovated in 2012.

The location of the fountain below is a bit of a mystery to me. I think it is near or in the Riverwalk area of San Antonio.

The final photo in this set shows the
Tower of the Americas. It was completed in 1968 for the World's Fair. The
World's Fair ran from April to October 1968, the period when Dad was stationed in San Antonio. Given the nature of other photos in the album, I now see these were taken at the fair. I have a few more to share. It is interesting to compare Dad's photos from HemisFair '68 with
my Gumpy's visit to the 1939 World's Fair in New York.
