Growing Up in Bandera

Having witnessed so many changes in the last seven decades while living in this town built by our ancestors I can’t even begin to imagine what my great grandkids will experience in their later years.

The Native Americans who occupied this area as the first generation of settlers moved in must have wondered about the same things. Just as we do today I’m pretty sure they expected changes to be something good for everyone and then found out too late that wasn’t always the case.

I remember as a kid spending many days alone on the river imagining I was the first person to explore the area of my daily adventures.
