A Walk To Remember: Along The San Antonio River Walk
By Deb (Carolus) Sidener, Cridersville
It was 1943 and a newlywed couple on their first adventure together found themselves living on the outskirts of San Antonio, Texas as the young groom trained to serve his country in WWII. The two 19-year-olds, on a free day, set out to explore what was then a very undeveloped downtown walk along the San Antonio River. They took their time, camera in hand, meandering along the area between Convent and Augusta Street bridges when a stranger offered to take their picture. This beautiful young couple was destined to one day be my parents, Don and Helen Carolus.
