In Memoriam
As time goes by, many of our old friends are
called
to their reward. This page is dedicated to their memory and their love
and
dedication to Texas.
1938 - 2001
John Bryant
1950 - 2001
Idys Waynne Cox
March 4, 2004
Waynne was an expert on acequias, or irrigation canals, built by early
Spanish colonists in San Antonio and other areas of the Southwest. He
shared his knowledge selflessly and was a true gentleman.
Michael "Cody" Prall
1948 - 2006
Michael "Cody" Prall was born on August 22, 1948 in Detroit, Michigan. He passed away on May, 17, 2006.
Michael was the Great-Grandson of Buffalo Bill Cody. He loved portraying an Irish immigrant to Mexico and served on the "Ready Box" for the Mexican Artillery crew, notably at San Jacinto.
As a tribute to Michael, Jerry Tubbs found this Irish proverb to remember him by.
"The tree still remains but the hand that planted it has gone."
He planted many a seed of friendship and those of us that still remain will always remember him in our hearts.
Boyd "One Blanket" Harrison
1964 - 2007
Boyd was a true friend and loved teaching history, both professionally as a schoolteacher and in the hobby he shared with us. He was a member of SALHA and served on the Twin Sisters Artillery at San Jacinto. He had a talent for encouraging and uplifting that benefitted many he came in contact with. He took his sons with him to the Fritztown Free Trappers Rendezvous several times.
Boyd was a master of the minimalist camp. His entire camp fit in a knapsack smaller than some haversacks. He could camp with only one blanket to wrap himself in, which earned him his nickname.

Don "Oggliest Man" Ogg
1943 - 2008
I could not put it any better than Paul Laster did:
"I'll remember him for all of the bizarre moments over the years, watching him walking a cat on a leash through camp, and seeing him as the madcap - getting into his cups and hooting and hollering with the best of them over at Rowdy Camp.
But mostly, I'll remember him sitting across a campfire from me, always ready to listen, always ready to offer a kind word, and always ready to laugh.
I'll never forget Don Ogg."
