_gargoyle	Origin: Galveston Flood (10)	RE: Galveston Flood	23 Dec 99
Smithsonian Magazine recently (Sept. 99) had an article on the flood....facinating reading....in its original context....Galveston Flood A letter to the editor the following month had a family historical addition. Smithsonian Magazine November 1999 Letters *Galveston Hurricane* "For a While...It was Fun" by Stephen Fox reminded me of my grandmother's friend who struggled for hours against the roiling waves of Galveston's 1900 hurricane. Finally, someone pulled her from the flood and helped her to a still-standing house. She had no idea where her husband was. When the storm was over, my grandmother's friend and other women formed an assembly line of biscuit-makers. After hours of baking, she looked up and saw a buck-naked man, save his celluloid collar. It was moments before she recognized him as her husband.
