SAN ANTONIO (AP) - The group that cares for the Alamo has
expelled two members in a months-old dispute over the best way to
run the 18th-century mission.
     
The Daughters of the Republic of Texas, in a news release, say
the action ends a "distracting and negative event."
     
Erin Bowman and Dianne MacDiarmid of San Antonio declined
comment Monday. Bowman told the San Antonio Express-News that they
are "trying to decide where we're going from here."
     
Bowman, who formerly led a $60 million capital campaign for the
Daughters, earlier this year created the Alamo Endowment to raise
money for preservation and educational programs.
     
Bowman claimed the Daughters do not have the financial savvy to
ensure the stability of the historic mission.

What a joke. Maybe 6 million, no way 60 million. Erin is very impressed with herself. Dianne just follows her like a puppy dog.
