John Phillip Santos, Urbanite Under Protest

Parish Photography

John Phillip Santos grew up in San Antonio, went to Churchill High School.  Despite tracing the numerous cities of his journey through life, from San Antonio to to South Bend to Oxford to New Haven to New York City he has never considered himself an urbanite.  In a story that illustrates just how urban he is, Santos notes a calling for the dusty road. 

One night in New York City his longing for the quiet and the dark of those remote ranches of his youth are fulfilled.

 Worth Repeating is Texas Public Radio's live, storytelling event series that looks to bring the Sound of San Antonio out through the stories of your friends and neighbors
