That was the day we became a father . . . as little Scott Da4id Raskin came crying into the world. Almost 23 years later .. . June 10, 1984 . . . became another eventful moment for us . . . with Scott achiev- ing the superior responsibil- ity of manhood by becoming a married man. It was this occasion that brought us to San Antonio, Tex. . . . where that "little boy" brought shades of joy- ous tears as he said "I Do" to our new daughter-in-law . . . pretty, warm and per- sonable Bonnie Sue Buck . . . Both had met while attending University of Texas in Austin. The wedding was held at Topatio Springs in Boerne, Tex.. . . about 25 miles from San Antonio . . . a beautiful country club and hotel com- plex . . . with about 200 people attending. A couple of Scott's boy- hood friends from Detroit were among the groom's men . . . Ken Maier, best man, lives in Kansas City, Mo.. . . and Scott Selik, stu- dent at University of Texas . . . Another good friend from here, John Ray, also came to the wedding. Nate Light, working on the road, was in San An- tonio . . . and wife Irene came to meet him, attend wedding . . . and celebrate their 13th anniversary . . . Irene was so excited to see Nate that she brought him a Father's Day card by mis- take . . . instead of one for their anniversary. There was Scott's mother, Gerri Fenton, from Florida, his half-brothers, Leslie Ball, chairman of the board of Macy's Midwest in Kan- sas City, Kan. . . . with wife Fran and their fine children . . . and Howard Ball, head of the Rattan Showrooms around Texas . . . with wife Debbie and their pretty baby . . . Both Leslie and Howard were also in the wedding party . . . and my wife Frieda, plus brother and sister-in-law Marvin and Shirley Raskin, sister Lillian Rosen and Shirley's brother, Raymond Arnold, from Houston, Tex. Bonnie's dad, Robert Buck, a leading San An- tonio architect, and mother Sandra Williamson of Dal- las, are mighty proud of their daughter . . . The wed- ding had originally been set to be held at a ranch in Ban- dero, Tex., -. . but circum- stances caused last-minute change . . . and Bonnie stayed in San Antonio to help with invitational tran- sitions ... among Other things. Everything turned out for the best . . . and a lovely wedding ceremony and cel- ebration made it a good time for all . . . with plenty or food, drinks and dancing. The rehearsal dinner and buffet reception Texas-style revealed one of the finest waiters we have encountered in a long time . . . Topatio Springs must get a lot of high accolade verbiage about Ernest De- nson . . . smiling, courteous, ultra-efficient, personable and cooperative . . . Gra- cious in his tuxedo, Ernest had but one thought . . . that everybody enjoyed a good time at Topatio Springs .. . The owners can't buy this kind of loyalty. They say it's difficult to beat Texas hospitality .. . and this was proven to us following the marriage .. • Scott and Bonnie went to Mexico on their honeymoon . . . and Nye stayed the week in San Antonio. Bob and lady friend Caro- lyn Pillot took us to place called Grey Moss Inn on Scenic Loop Road . . . whose specialties were charbroiled steaks and chicken broiled on a 53-year-old well .. . and fresh-baked desserts . . . Bob asked the man out- side cooking on the well what was best that night and he recommended the pepper steak (steak broiled covered with black pepper) and the rib-eye . . . Don't know what they did to my steak, but it was so tender, the knife just glided through a cutting endeavor with hardly much effort .. . Grey Moss Inn is also noted for its holnemade Pecan Pie . . . and at the expense of an- other pound just couldn't re- sist . . . glad we didn't. Couple of nights later was a Texas barbecue at home of Bonnie's grandparents, Steve and Gladys Hooge .. . with three kinds of meat, etc., etc., etc.. . . a lot of con- viviality . . . and plenty of margaritas. Texas hospitality even before the wedding, also . . . Bonnie's maid of honor, Pat Parker, put on a Mexican fiesta party at her home with oodles of food and mar- garitas galore. Happy we stayed in San Antonio . . . so much to see . . . The Alamo downtown, site of famous battle which was a major stepping stone to Texas independence from Mexico is just a little mis- sion with lot of ground .. . Nothing like where John Wayne fought . . . but so rich in Texas history . . . The Mexican Market (El Mercado) had its begin- nings in 1830 . . . and is one of San Antonio's most his- toric areas. One of San Antonio's best Mexican restaurants is in the Mexican Market .. . called La Margarita . . . with a warning that folks usually have to wait for a table at this ceiling-fan-chic restaurant in the heart of El Mercado.. . . But customers don't regret waiting ... The enchilada and fajita plates are rich and spiced the way people want them . . . Its giant-sized margarita drinks are especially good
