Texans hold
birthday
celebration
(continued from page 1)
American Revolution to the Texas
battles at Alamo, Goliad, Gonzales
and San Jacinto.
White said Texans gathered to
celebrate the declaration Sunday
were children who “carry forth that
heritage.”
The governor said Sam Houston,
who was among the signers of the
declaration, never could have envi
sioned what Texas has become.
He acknowledged, however, that
the economic problems of the state
have resulted in a struggle.
“Tough times never last. Tough
people always do,” White said. “That
is the legacy of our great state and its
citizens.
“Our proud history and strong
character of the Texas people make
us well-suited for the challenges of
the present, and I am confident like
our ancestors we will lead Texas to
an even brighter future.”
Johnstone presided over ceremo
nies marking the first day of issue of
a commemorative U.S. stamp.

Over 20,000 gathered at Saturday’s Sesquicentennial celebration in Washington-on-the-Brazos, Texas.
“It’s the biggest stamp dedication
:ver be
he
the biggest I’ve ever heard of,
told the cheering crowd.
When people were not listening to
speeches and waiting in line at the
park museum, they watched Texans
in period costume shooting muskets
or huddling around campfires and
tents.
Sam Whitley of Houston raised!
T exas Hag over his campsite.
“This is special,” he said. “Thisis
the flag that flew here 150 yean

Bush opens Alamo independence ceremony ^ p
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Vice Presi
dent George Bush rode a covered
wagon at the head of a parade to the
Alamo Sunday to help open cele
brations of the 150th anniversary of
the Texas Declaration of Indepen
dence from Mexico.
The declaration was signed dur
ing the battle of the Alamo, a 13-day
siege in which all 188 Texas defend
ers were killed by Mexican troops.
“They died, but they didn’t die in
vain, Bush told about 4,000 people
at the Alamo. “Without the Alamo,
there would have been no Texas.”
Bush, who has a Houston home,
said, “I’ve been all over the world,
and let me tell you. all over the
world, I’ve found . . . people under
stand what it means to be a Texan.
“Being a Texan means optimism.
Being a Texan means a special
pride, a special determination, a spe
cial can-do spirit,” he said.
Bush spoke after 5,000 helium-
filled red, white and blue balloons
were released from behind the
Alamo. The balloons, released to the
tune of “The Eyes of Texas,” were in
honor of the Alamo defenders.
The ceremony was marred by one
snafu.
A representative of the Daughters
of the Republic of Texas rang an
original Alamo bell to cue churches
throughout the city to ring their
bells in honor of Texas Indepen
dence Day. But no other bells rt
sponded until several minutes later. I

Fontenot family begins to feel repercussions of verdict l.r
as drug
Associated Press
DAISETTA — The trial is over,
but for the family of former school
principal Hurley Fontenot, the
problems that began when he was
accused of killing the school’s coach
may have only begun../
by jealousy over the affections of the
junior high school secretary.
A day later, Fontenot’s wife, Ge
neva, learned that she had failed as a
student teacher at a nearby elemen
tary school.
Wednesday, Fontenot was ac
quitted of a murder charge in the
death of Billy Fleming — a slaying
prosecutors contend was triggered
“I was thinking, ‘That was retalia
tion,’ ” she said. “An ‘F’ in student
teaching? It’s impossible. Who ever
heard of this?”
Prosecutors said Fontenot killed
Fleming because he was obsessed
with Laura Nugent, 36, and couldn’t
bear the thought of her impending
marriage to the football coach.
Assistant District Attorney David
Walker admitted the state did not
present an airtight case, and defense
attorney Dick DeGuerin contended
the case was botched by investigators
who lost evidence and failed to con
sider other potential suspects.
The defense, though, had prob
lems of its own. DeGuerin said Fon
tenot was a poor witness.
“Some of them (jurors) said, WelBhe study ;
gee. a lot of us felt like he did it buiBts should n
we didn’t feel we had enough evi-Bies that fa
deuce to get over that reasonabfcpngprogra
doubt thing,’ ’’Walker said. | At a news
Fontenot isn’t oblivious to theea-Bs deputy
mit\ he faces f rom area residents. Bth, stoppe
“There are some people who ait ■working
against me, hut they are in the mi-Fgo drug te
nority," he said. “I could look them■ saying to
(the Flemings) straight in the eveftion that‘yc
and tell them I had nothing to do ffability of d
with the death of their son.” Smithackm
