Here are a couple of portraits from I'd say 83/84. Gotta love the hair. And the 80s shirts just look awesome! I must say I look rather striking in the first pic. And can't go wrong with red and blue in the second one.

These 2 photos were from around 83/84. The first is at The Alamo in San Antonio. It was the first time I was there and sparked a great curiosity for Texas History. My brother is in that one as well.  I love going to the Alamo to this day. The second photo is of me looking cute outside my home.
