[Ansteorra] Armor at the "Texas Museum of Military History"?

[Melissa Baxter-Kosub]

  Here is a link to a podcast with Sam Nesmith, who is listed at curator 
of the San Antonio based Texas Museum of Military History.  They are 
discussing a "chain mail shirt"  that was on loan to the Bob Bullock 
Texas State History Museum.

I went to visitsanantonio.com and yellowpages,.com but this museum was 
not listed on either site.  It very well could be his personal 
collection and is not open to the public.  You may consider speaking 
with someone at the Bullock museum to get more info.
