galveston island: BILL CHERRY'S MEMORIES -- ON TV - 08/23/11 08:06 PM
BILL CHERRY'S MEMORIES ON TV
Many know that I have written about 700 pieces about the history of Galveston and its people.
From those came an anthology of about 60 which was published as a book in 2000 by VanJus Press. Titled Bill Cherry's Galveston Memories, it has sold many thousands. Nevertheless, I chose not to do a second printing.

galveston island: GRAND GATHERINGS -- THE GRAND 1894 OPERA HOUSE -- GALVESTON ISLAND - 05/19/10 11:55 PM

One of the great events of each year is called GRAND GATHERINGS: A SERIES OF CULINARY EVENTS.
This year they begin Saturday, June 5th, … (3 comments)

galveston island: GALVESTON MEETS THE OBAMAS & SEES THEIR CHARITABLE SIDE - 01/10/09 08:04 AM
My hometown is Galveston, Texas. It's on a barrier island just off of the Great State of Texas. I've not lived there in more than three years, but I still remain homesick.
Galveston, with some frequency, is hit by hurricanes. The one that everyone talked about until 2008 was the famous 1900 Storm that did huge damage and killed at least 6,000 citizens.
But Galveston recovered and handled storm after storm unil September 2008...almost to the day 108 years after the 1900 Storm came ashore. That's when Hurricane Ike struck.
Even in spite of the long concrete seawall that … (4 comments)

galveston island: THE PIRATE JEAN LAFITTE WAS REALLY MORTIMER WILSON - 05/31/07 10:38 PM
Galveston's Pirate Jean Lafitte Was a Fraud. He Was Really Mortimer Wilson By Bill Cherry, Dallas Broker-Realtor

It is entirely possible that the real Jean Lafitte never sailed into or had a home in Galveston. But that depends on whose accounting of Lafitte's life you want to believe.
The real Jean Lafitte was one of two brothers. Jean was the elder and Pierre was the younger. They were probably born in St. Malos, France in the 1780s. Jean was described as "tall, finely formed, and in his pleasant mood was always agreeable and interesting. He would stand for … (11 comments)
