and Vern Bouwman's trip during March of 1964, naturally brought them here
because of Vern's hitch in the Navy. They were then living in East
Moline, IL. See the Trip
Map. Leaving the Surf Motel in
Port Lavaca, TX on Wednesday morning, we headed right for Houston. First
we went to by the new Space Center where all the astronauts are, this being
just across the field from Ellington Air Force Base. Then we saw hundreds
of oil wells in the bay by Baytown. At noon we were at San Jacinto Battleground
where we saw and toured through the Battleship TEXAS. Then we walked to
the Monument, took the photo above, and went up. It was real windy and
the monument actually moved in the wind.
