Directly following the dedication ceremonies a business session will convene at the State Arsenal auditorium. At this time new officers will be elected and plans made toi
drawing travel to the southern borderlands district traversed by the Old Spanish Trail, ancient and romantic highway reaching from coast to coast.
The Old Spanish Trail—beginning at St. Augustine, Florida, and terminating at San Diego, California, has extended across our southern borderlands since the early days of Spanish occupation. I he mission centers and colonization efforts of the early Spaniards were along the Trail—a land rich in history and legends of three and four centuries past. In these lands the padres sought riches to lay up in heaven and the conquistadores sought riches for personal glory and often found disaster for their vain but romantic search.
Today the Old Spanish Trail is a paved highway extending across our southern borderlands through the states of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
In dedicating this monument the Exchange Club has received hearty cooperation. In Spain the dedication has received recognition and Sr. Don Rafael Casares Gil, Consul General of Spain, appointed as official representative for the Spanish Government. Official recognition has also been received from all states crossed by this highway, and representatives appointed by the Governors. Mr. Harral Ayres, Managing Director of the Old Spanish Trail Association, with headquarters at San Antonio, '1 exas, has been instrumental in organizing the motorcade from San Diego to St. Augustine via the Old Spanish Trail, a stupendous undertaking for a trip of 2,743 miles. A word of praise goes to San Diego, California, for starting the motorcade and to Col. Ed Fletcher at San Diego, who though unable to make the trip, worked for its success. The Exchange Club takes this means of expressing appreciation for the hearty cooperation received.
