A four foot high carne built of native limestone rocks cemented together has a bronze plaque on it top that reads:

"These Crepe Myrtle trees
planted on March 10, 1991
as a living memorial to

Dr. B. F. (Bernie) Higdon
(1914 - 1991)

Beamer - Teacher - Leader - Friend
Concept-Therapy Institute"


Although there is information on how Concept-Therapy Institute was founded by a WW1 veteran who had serious wounds and head injuries due to the war but went on to find recovery in the metaphysical healing properties he assimilated into what is now Concept-Therapy Institute, the only references in Google for B.F. Higdon were references to obscure medical textbooks or his books about classes taught here. There is no doubt Dr. Higdon was involved with the past development of CTI, due to this carne giving honors to him, but not much documentation is found on him or how he contributed.

The Concept-Therapy Institute is located near Leon Springs, TX but has a San Antonio address of 25550 Boerne Stage Rd., TX 78255. The entrance is a large arched entrance with Concept-Therapy Institute in large letters across the top of the archway into the little village that is dominated by this institution. The street the Crept Myrtles are planted along is Beamers Crossing. Beamers Crossing forms a junction with the main roadway, Boerne Stage Road, about 0.2 miles east from the major intersection where Boerne Stage Road turns northward at the stop light controlled intersection of Boerne Stage Road, Toutant Beauregard Road, and Scenic Loop Road.
