Still in Dallas: Tom's Pics

[Jenni Mansfield Peal]

Tom spent hours snapping around downtown Dallas on Saturday, July 14, while I gave and received at the Third International Women's Peace Conference. Here's a pic I call Minding the Territory:

His journeys took him to Bill's Records and Tapes, a Richardson institution recently relocated to the urban-renewal land of South Lamar …


… then back into the heart of the city.

If you’re interested in a piece of urban prairie, here it is:

the tumbas inscriptions reminds me reading them in the little Oliveros´s cemetery when I was a child and went there with my grandmother to do their monthly visit to the town!!

I´ll wait for your report from the Conference, jenni!!

Brother Thomas 1855-1896
wonder how the shorter life spans made people act

old Dallas
last time there a brief respite from Ft Worth, summer of "87
about the same age as that old timer

I marched in the St Patrick's Day parade in March of '63 in our HS Band
a segregated schools down Commerce Street by the Texas School Book Depository building, where had gone on a field trip back in '56 in third grade, remember we were in our school bus parked near a school bus with black kids and the white kids in my bus called racial taunts out to the black kids, who were silent.

Now there is a peace conference in Big D, now that's something.
