Alamo Update

Santa Anna cannonball missing: "If you see someone trying to unload a cannonball, San Antonio police want you to contact them.

A thief stole the cannonball Sunday night while it was on display at the Fairmont Hotel in the 400 block of South Alamo.

The cannonball once belonged to Gen. Santa Anna, the man who defeated Texian forces in 1836 at the Battle of the Alamo. The softball-size cannonball has been certified authentic by the Institute of Texan Cultures."
