Weaver recalls colorful career in Houston hand weaving
William B. Spencer 71 recalls founding The Three Weavers near Houston. He built a color driven design career from a tin shed to a thriving business, survived a World War II service gap, a 1959 fire that destroyed 16 looms, and a major fire that tested resilience. He created famed patterns like Joseph's Coat and sourced colors from nature.

Galvez Siege of Fort George Leads to Pensacola Surrender
In spring 1781 Bernardo de Galvez commanded a siege against Fort George in Pensacola. He landed 7000 troops on March 9 and breached defenses by April 28, destroying a powder magazine on May 8. The blast killed or disabled about 100 of the 900 British defenders, leading to capitulation the following day. The World Almanac notes.
