Notes

Reed and Marilyn Thompson are chapel organ. Robert Anderson, SMU, Dallas, played the opening recital Oct. 12. Fort Sam House became part of Joint Base Andrews October 1, 2010. -Jeff Scofield

2021-06-11 - Donations for the chapel came from the pockets of 1,000 military families and residents of San Antonio. Through the fundraising campaign, Dickson was able to raise $50,000 for the chapel’s construction. The city of San Antonio donated a piece of property known as Maverick Park for the chapel to be built on. It was because of these generous efforts from the city and residents of San Antonio and military families that the building is nicknamed the Gift Chapel. -Jeff Scofield
