| Wives (of US Army Captains) join drag hunt |
In late July I went to San Antonio to print a book and my friend Lauren do some research for her next artist book. We traveled to some sites in San Antonio including the Institute of Texan Cultures special collection library of manuscripts and photographs. As I will need some sort of illustration or visuals to include in the book, I thought I'd look through what they had on Ft. Sam Houston, a very historic Army fort that is still very active today. In fact, I lived on Ft. Sam Houston two times as a kid. So I began to search the files and found a few gems of past wives doing various things.
I also contacted the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, MS to see if there was anybody interested in being interviewed for this project. The response was positive and I'll go down on Sept. 14th.
However, I am a little discouraged about the lack of responses I've gotten from current spouses. I hope that will change with a little creative thinking on my part for that is really the whole point of this - to have those who stand beside or behind the active duty member - give a voice to who they are.
