After dinner and party which extended well into the early morning hours we all assembled at the front desk Friday morning at 0900 for a bus tour to the Military Working dog school at Camp Medina and a tour of the Security Police Museum on Lackland itself.
We got quite a tour of the San Antonio suburbs by the bus driver
who didn't appear to have a clue where she was going most of the time. MSgt
John Pearce and the other K-9 instructors at the school put on quite a show for
us and reacquainted us with training dogs.
Three of our braver members; Andy Zangl, Dan Weaver and Bill Louk
also took a turn at catching a dog. Thankfully the advanced ages didn't impede
them and there were no injuries. We had a ball during the K-9 training and
would like to express our heartfelt thanks to John Pearce and his team for
their gracious efforts toward us.
After the dog school we wandered around a
little more until we made it to the Security Police Museum. For quite a few of
us, myself included, this was our first trip to the museum and it was quite
impressive. We took a moment to pay homage to Bob Gray and all the other
Security Policemen who have given their lives in defense of their
countries.
After the Security Police Museum we were taken to a restaurant
called Luby's for lunch then transported back to the hotel.
That evening was more of the same of the previous evening. Saturday was
for us to do as we pleased, which for most of us was hanging around the hotel
and continue to reacquaint ourselves with long lost comrades and friends.

Sunday came much too quickly. John Grammer and Bill Louk took SAM
& Casey across the street to photograph them walking post at the Alamao.
Finally, as the day droned on we went our separate ways with promises to keep
in touch and make plans for future events.
