In early October, Phi Alpha Theta (PAT) traveled to San Antonio to tour the city's many historical sites. As part of PAT's Student Lecture Series, members presented talks at each of the locations they visited. Ryan Carlet spoke on the history of San Antonio's River Walk; at the Alamo, Itzayana Lopez-Prestegui lectured on Spanish colonization of Texas; and David Hale recounted the colorful history of Mission San Jose. Randy Krinsky, whose ancestors were among the 56 founding families of San Antonio, spoke at the Spanish Governor's Palace about his family's journey in 1731 from the Canary Islands to Texas.
