Wonder if this has anything to do with UTMB moving most operations up to Austin? The hits just keep coming for Galveston.

When I was a tad, mom didn't have to work, and dad didn't make a lot of money, but we had a great family life.

Today, with four page telephone bills, taxes that defy the imagination, too many families have both parents working to pay the bills.

Now the family is different, and the husband has to come home and stay home, and all fraternal and too many civic organizations have paid the price.

Hella Shrine Temple in Dallas once had over 13,000 members and the count today is about 3,600.

I give what I can every year to the Shriners and also the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital.

Meanwhile, we need more Masons!
