After hurricane Carla came through Corpus Christi in the early seventies, I had business in the area, one of my nephews wanted to go with me.
When I finished my work, we went to Padre Island for beach combing. There was nothing on the beach but we leapfrogged my car.
I caught up to him with an object in his hands, it looked like a 20 pound bomb.
I told him to hold it until I stopped about a safe distance away, then put it down carefully and come talk to me.
After he was far enough away I called on my CB radio.
Help arrived and took the bomb, it was an inert practice bomb. My nephew was in his twenties and married at the time. I did not tell my brother about this until about ten years ago. I thought he was going to spank his forty year old son.
