We Are Family
by Chi Padua
As San Antonians of San Diego, we are one Big Family. That's how I have looked at it since my
husband and I with our daughter moved back to San Diego in 1999. Since he started serving as
President of SASDCI, we started getting to know most members of this organization. Now, with
this website, I would like to get to know more of our fellow San Antonians and I believe that
this is one good way of getting a good start to introduce San Antonian families to other
members and visitors alike. So, please help me make this feature of our website prosper and grow
by sharing your story with us.
