Castroville (Medina: house, movies, live)

[cygnet]

Any old-timers out there remember Castroville in the 50s? We lived there briefly and cannot find our old home when I go back. We lived on the Medina River in 1956 outside of town in a 19th century house called Dr. Herrmann's house, up on a bluff. The river flooded one day and I have home movies of my father walking across the simple wooden bridge with a pole, finding the sides so my mother could drive us across! Would love to see the house again. Anybody know that far back?

Actually, we know the daughter of the mayor of Castroville, she's married to a buddy of mine in the USAF. We have never lived in the town ourselves, but really like it and it may be one of the places we move to when we decide to "downsize" after our boys are grown and gone.

I suspect one day people will realize how nice it is out there and it will suffer the same rapid deveopment that other good places have experienced. A quick and easy 20-minute drive to Lackland, another ten minutes to downtown S.A.
