Former Gov. Rick Perry made a special appearance in Boerne Tuesday, visiting Boerne ISD’s vocational education program, specifically its welding shop run by instructor Dorman Vick.

Perry was under the impression he would be viewing the unveiling of a separate project, an iron gate created by Vick’s aspiring welding students at Champion High School. The iron gate was initially for Martin Bros Customs, who were unable to attend the event.

The day, however, turned out to be much more sentimental than Perry anticipated.
