Mission and Installation Contracting building
one of the oldest on Fort Sam Houston but soon to be among the most modern. Built between 1881 and 1885, is 98,414 square-foot Long Barracks and the old Brooke Army Medical Center symbolized an aging post after they were abandoned in the mid-'90s.
Buildings once used by the Army's most famous commanders, Generals John J. Pershing and Dwight D. Eisenhower among them, are now occupied by a new generation of leaders.
The Long Barracks opened in 1887, after the end of the Indian wars. It was born as a result of a closure round in which small Army posts were shuttered, with the missions going to Fort Sam and other garrisons.

The contract for route 135 was taken over by Go-Ahead Docklands Buses from Arriva London North on Saturday 23rd May. A temporary allocation of ADL Enviro400s, made spare by the conversion of route 12 to New Routemaster operation, was used initially, but the batch of 14 ADL Enviro400 MMC-bodied Volvo B5LH hybrids have now arrived and are being phased into service at Go-Ahead's Silvertown base.

William “Bill” Simons, president of the Washington Teachers Union, and Minnie Woodson, president of the D. C. School Board sign contract documents October 30, 1979 that end a dispute that resulted in a 23-day strike earlier in the year.
The strike came during the early days of the Marion Barry administration ,and though the school board was responsible and not the mayor, Barry intervened to settle the strike.
The strike ended after the school board agreed to leave the existing contract in place while negotiations continued. A fact finding panel later set the basis for agreement issuing recommendations on all disputed items.
Further negotiations narrowed the differences both sides had with the fact finding recommendations until an agreement was reached.
Wages were not an issue at the time because they were set by Congress. Some of the key union demands that were met that were different from the fact finders recommendations included binding arbitration for “conditional” evaluations in addition to the then current process permitting grievances only for “unsatisfactory” evaluations.
Other issues settled in the union’s favor that differed from the recommendations included a neutrality policy on the union’s request for a judge to reduce the fines against the union for its illegal strike and an agreement by the school board not to discipline any teachers for taking part in the strike (unless the teacher was alleged to have engaged in other illegal activity).
Simons was the first president of the union during the period after the union gained collective bargaining rights and served for 25 years During his tenure he was repeatedly opposed by teachers who felt he was too accommodating to the city’s political leadership and too autocratic within the union.
Some excerpts from William Simons’ Washington Post obituary:
“William H. Simons, who as the first president of the Washington Teachers Union led teachers strikes, negotiated contracts and played a pivotal role in the selection of the union as the teachers’ collective bargaining agent, died December 7 [2016] in Atlanta. He was 92.
“Mr. Simons was president of the WTU for 25 years before being voted out of office in 1991.
“In a 1979 profile, The Washington Post said he ‘has crusaded to change the image of teachers from one of nice old ladies and milquetoast men who aren’t good enough to do anything but teach.’
“’The image Simons has sought for teachers is one of tough, unionized workers who are not going to accept a retirement dinner or nice words from a former student in place of a good salary and strong influence in administrative decisions that govern what goes on in the classroom.’
“William Henry Simons was born in Washington on June 1, 1924, and was one of eight children. His father was a U.S. government messenger. He graduated from Dunbar High School in 1940, served in the Army during World War II and received a Bronze Star Medal. In 1947, he graduated from what then was Miner Teachers College and began teaching social studies at Banneker Junior High School.
“He joined Local 27 of the American Federation of Teachers in 1952, at the time an all-black teachers union. It later merged with a white AFT local to form a racially integrated local of the AFT, which then became the Washington Teachers' Union. In 1965 he left his teaching job at Banneker to become full-time union president.
In 1967, Mr. Simons orchestrated a victory of the WTU over the D.C. Education Association as the collective- bargaining agent for the city's teachers. At the time, the WTU was perceived as more militant at the bargaining table. Mr. Simons called it an organization of ‘working teachers.’
“The Education Association, he said, was ‘a professional group for administrators.’
Mr. Simons would lead teacher strikes in 1972 and 1979 as well as organize a march on Capitol Hill in 1968 to demand a pay raise from Congress, which set salaries.
“He battled school administrators over a plan to set teachers' pay on the basis of their students' performance on standardized tests. He accused some administrators of harming students by supporting ‘social promotions,’ the practice of moving students up one grade each year when classroom teachers had given them failing grades.
“He fought proposals for longer work days and longer school years and denounced critics who claimed that union protections had safeguarded the jobs of incompetent teachers.
“He said he asked only for ‘due process . . . what any employee deserves. We're not protecting anybody. We just want administrators to make their case against teachers instead of fulfilling vendettas. There are more bad administrators than bad teachers.’
“Mr. Simons was defeated for reelection as union president in 1985 but regained the office two years later. He was defeated again in 1991 amid complaints that the union had become moribund and resistant to change under his leadership. He then retired.
