TO THE EDITOR:
The members of Kendall County
EMS would like to express their
gratitude for your generous dona-
tions that contributed to the success
of our EMS Benefit this past Satur-
day.
The community was out in force to
support us. Many were involved in
making this event a success. It
would take page after page to list all
those that did participate, so for pur-
poses of space, please accept this
“thank you” as being from all of us
to all of you.
A special thanks to Earl Gilbert
and M.C. Holman for providing all
the food, cooking and serving sup-
plies. Without these two gentlemen,
the Benefit would have been only a
dream and not a reality.
Our heartfelt thanks to all those
that donated raffle prizes, time,
money, services and to all those that
attended the Benefit and made it
such a great success.
Your continued support of this
organization and it’s volunteers is
greatly appreciated. It is because of
people like you that Kendall County
EMS is never short of Emergency
Care Volunteers to provide medical
care to the community. We promise
to strive to provide the best possible
care to area residents.
The monies from this Benefit will
provide us with much needed funds
to accomplish our educational
goals; including EMS training and
equipment for 1991.
Once again, thank you!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Our sincere “Thanks” to all the
caring people who helped to make
our Garage Sale of April 6 a success.
Those who contributed sale items,
money, and those who worked so
many hours are equally important.
S/All the Folks at the
Rainbow Senior Center
You've got friends in high places.
Just a friendly reminder that ceiling fans allow you to set your home's thermostat
higher while maintaining a level of comfort and saving on cooling costs. The cir-
culating air moving across your skin creates a wind-chill factor making you feel 4
to 6 degrees cooler. So this summer, remember your friends in high places.

Hill said in closing, “I think next
time we’ll sure get believed more
than in the past. This is the finest
Army I’ve known in 22 years. It’s
validation of my life’s work. The

After net charge-offs of $5.2
million, the balance in the reserve
for possible loan losses was $45.5
million, compared with $45.6 million
at year-end 1990 and up from $42.4
million a year ago. The current
allowance provides a 76.6 percent
coverage of non-accruing and
restructured loans.
Non-performing assets were $127
million, compared with $122 million
reported at December 31, 1990 and
$137 million at March 31, 1990.
Currently, 88 percent are related to
real estate.
Non-interest income increased 14
percent from the comparable period
last year to close the quarter at
$13.6 million. Trust fee income
increased nine percent from the
first quarter of 1990. The
Corporation’s Trust Division
reported increases in both the
number of accounts held and the
value of assets managed.
Non-interest expenses totaled
$34.9 million for the first quarter,
compared with $31.8 million for the
quarter ending March 31,1990. This
increase is primarily due to higher
costs associated with foreclosed
assets.
Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. is a
multi-bank holding company with
assets of $3.1 billion at March 31,
1991. The Corporation has four
member banks and 22 offices in five

Association and Land Owners
Protection Coalition.
“It was a good forum,” declared
Muckleroy, “and a good exchange.
Six booths also held information
available about the groups.”
“The Earth Day cleanup up and
down the Guadalupe River itself
resulted in almost an 18 wheeler
truck full of trash, thus it was a very
successful and a rewarding exercise
by many canoeists and others on the
river," said one of the evening
speakers, Arthur Nagel of Sister-
dale.
“The participants were treated to
an enjoyable barbecue in the
evening; afterwards several
persons gave short talks. A
representative, Bob Spain, of Texas
Parks and Wildlife, Austin, spoke in
favor of getting the Texas Rivers
Protection bill passed, a bill which
Texas Parks and Wildlife sponsors
and is the author.
“Mr. Tom Goynes of the Texas
River Recreation Association also
spoke in favor of having the bill
passed.”
Nagel noted,” The Texas River
Protection bill would enlarge the
recreational use of selected
navigable Texas rivers. It contains
no provisions for alerting and
reminding river users that the
adjoining property is private and
therefore cannot be entered except
with the owners’ permission. This
deficiency in the bill makes it
unacceptable to riverside land
owners. This same deficiency
existed in the bill introduced in 1987
and again in 1989 to the Texas
legislature. As a result, the bill
consistently has been defeated.”
Nagel emphasized that persons
who use the navigable rivers for
recreation should not enter and use
the private property adjoining the
rivers. “Such property is the
business site for ranching and

aircraft. “The Patriot had been
badmouthed, for lack of a better
term, to create controversy,” said
Hill. “I saw that same ’60 Minutes’,”
he told a student regarding bad
press and publicity. Discussing
information on the war, Hill said
“True figures were given out by the
military. In some instances figures
may have had to be held a day or so
for security.”

“The attendance has steadily
gone up since we opened,” said
Muckleroy. There were 361,215
visitors in the park last year
(September of 1989-August, 1990
comprises the fiscal year). Day
visitors numbered 313,631, pri-
marily from the area and San
Antonio, with 47,584 overnight
visitors, most of them Texans.

prior to Earth Day.”
Diedre Hisler, who has worked
for two months on the event, said
“We want to bridge the gap
between landowners and the river
recreationist. Mr. Arthur Nagel
agreed to come and grace us with
his presence on Saturday night. I
think the landowners and river
recreationist want to work
together. Tom Goyers of San
Marcos, state president of the
Texas Rivers Protection Associ-
ation was here, too.
“Scouts kept tally sheets of their
pickups and a donation was made to
them. We plan to work with the
Texas General Land office to make
this an annual event.”
Ms. Hisler hopes that other
interested groups in the future will
contact her, persons with their own
boats who are skilled boaters. Texas
Parks and Wildlife caps were
presented to all water volunteers.
“This was a purely volunteer A
venture,” said Ms. Hisler. “There fl
was no funding whatever. There I
was a prize for the most eclectic
river ‘pickerupper’ for trash utensil.
One prize was a hot air balloon ride,
and Air Quest Aviation of Bulverde
donated air flying time for one hour

prizes were given away during the
barbecue. We want to thank these

Dear Editor,
I am a cyclist who has ridden
literally thousands of miles in
Kendall County. I am writing this
letter to thank the residents for
their consideration and friendliness
when they encounter me riding on
the backroads in your area. I do my
best to be courteous when I am
riding, staying out of the way as
much as possible and checking
traffic behind me with the mirror on
my glasses. It is refreshing to find
drivers acting the same in return.
Very often, I am greeted with a
wave by passing motorists; cars
behind me wait to pass until it is
safe to do so, without trying to run
me off the road when they go by. I
was brought up to share, and it is
nice to find drivers who feel the
same way about our public

TO THE EDITOR:
A big thanks to The Boerne Star
for the great support given the Hill
Country Dixie Fest. Your coverage
of the event was instrumental in the
overwhelming success of this first
ever jazz festival in Boerne. It is
community support, such as shown
by The Boerne Star, that makes
Boerne the wonderful place it is.
I would also like to thank the
Boerne Area Chamber of Commerce
for it’s dedicated effort; also Mr.
Jack Moore and staff at KBRN for
the strong campaign on our behalf.
Last, but not least, the many
volunteers who worked at the
Festival and the great jazz fans
from Boerne and Austin whose
enthusiastic encouragement moved
the musicians to perform at their
best.
The Fest was so successful we’ll
be back next year, bigger and
better.
