PALADIN's HALL.
According to medieval legends, Paladins
were a holy sect of crusading knights whose Faith
was as unrivaled as their sword. Champions of Good
and Justice, they were the mightiest and most
honorable of their kind. Let me take you to back to
this era where chivalric knights clad in radiant
armor still walk gallantly through the streets with
virtuous ladies of unquestionable beauty. Enter the
world of the Renaissance Festival.

COLSON HERITAGE.
The Colson surname is said to have
originated during the Anglo-Saxon period of English
history. Though it seems that very little research
has been concentrated directly on the Colson name,
I have found some interesting facts about our proud
heritage. In my search, I have come across a couple
examples of Colson Coats of Arms which I will
include along with as many geneological website I
can find dealing with the Colson surname.

PILGRIMAGE. In the
summer of 1997, I fulfilled my childhood dream of
exploring the great castles of England. In my quest
to pay homage to the historical Arthur, I journeyed
over almost two thousand miles of English, Welsh,
and Scotticsh roadways. During that time I walked
on the shores of Hastings; gazed over the
battlements of Harlech castle; surveyed the site of
Wallace's victory at Stirling; visited the grave of
Rob Roy; and sketched Stonehenge.

MATACANES, or "Dog
Killer," is the name given to a mountaineering
course by the local residents of Potrero Redondo in
the Cola de Caballo mountains next to Monterrey,
Mexico. The five to eight hour course follows a
narrow river over two waterfalls, through a couple
of natural caverns, and across several kilometers
of small lakes, large boulders, and very little
flat surface. Rappelling, Swimming, Cliff jumping
are just some of the pre-requisites.

THE
PATIO CLUB. The year is 1994. Somewhere
within the cultural diversity of West Texas A&M
University, a group of students with common
interests formed the eternal bonds of friendship.
Although we have each taken different paths in life
and are separated by hundreds of miles, we will
always carry the memories of our times together
with us wherever we go. This site is dedicated to
our golden years on and off campus.

THE
CHAPEL. On May 1, 1998, I proposed to a
very beautiful girl on the Riverwalk in San
Antonio, Texas. We were married on February 20,
1999 in a small ceremony of family and friends. I
grew up in the Texas panhandle, and my wife was
born in Trujillo, Honduras, the first city that
Christopher Columbus founded on the mainland. Our
wedding and reception were a blend of two cultures.
This is a small collection taken from our wedding
album.
