When he got old enough the Houston Chronicle hired him as a typesetter and he remained at that job until he retired. He owned a model T as a young man and when he passed away we found the tool kit to that vehicle, not sure who has them now. I have some wonderful pictures of him in the Boy Scouts in the Houston Heights area and even a picture of his father and his sister. He filled me with some wonderful stories of his life in Houston and Galveston. He was always taking pictures of someone or something. He passed away in 2000 with a sharp mind until the very end.<br /><br />I just finished reading your book getting ready to post it on my blog. You have awaken some special memories in me of my grandfather. Thanks for this wonderful book.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03736398223095402564noreply@blogger.com
