Dedication of a new William Gammell Plaque in Houston

A message from the San Jacinto descendants organization:

Liz,
I wondered if you, or any of your family has been contacted about the Ceremony at Washington Cemetery in Houston, on October 22, 2011.  I just thought it would be wonderful if some of William's cousins could attend.  You have the Monument in Founders Memorial Park still pictured on your blog and since they now know that William is not really buried there, I thought you should include a new photo of the plaque they will unveil on the 22nd.

If any relatives of William Gammell would like to attend this ceremony on October 22, 2011, please RSVP to the name and address at the bottom of the invitation.
