Phil Collin and the Alamo (1 Viewer)

[lancer]

Watching CBS Sunday Morning with a section on Phil Collins. I knew he was a toy soldier collector relating to the Alamo but the story revealed that he was the owner of the largest collection of Alamo artifacts and memorabilia in the world, valued at $10 million. He donated the whole collection to the state of Texas. My apologies if this is old news, I just wasn't aware of his Alamo connection. -- Al

Al...

yea...
he was an Alamo fanatic...

he also has a location...
across the street...
on the side of the Alamo...
where he has a full size scale model of the entire Alamo...
pre Battle of the Alamo...

with narration and a cool light show...
it's worth seeing if you ever go to San Antonio...
