During the summer Ft. Concho hosts a two day activity - Frontier Days. My friend Bob works at the fort as a teacher, historian and reenactor. Bob's specialty is artillery pieces. Bob is a quiet spoken person. Once he starts spinning a yarn it's almost impossible to break away. Children are kept spellbound while he tells the little ones how he lost his leg in one of those battles. In one story he lost his leg in a civil war battle. In another he cites a battle with the plains Indians. The kids love it, as do most of the parents.
