"Lord, help my time."
Kemah is in my stomping grounds. Back in the early 60's, my Pawpaw and Grandma would take me to Kemah on Sunday afternoons to eat fried shrimp.
One of my favorite memories in life!
My very earliest memories are of Kemah. My dad worked for the Humble Company and we lived in the Humble Camp (company housing). I used to know where it was but the last time I was on 149 it was so changed that I could no longer see the exact spot. We moved from there when I was about 3 but continued to go back because mom and dad had friends there. I have great memories of Clear Lake and Kemah and that area. In about 1988 we bought a house on Tiki Island and sold it in 2001. I also lived on Galveston Island in ‘59 & ‘60. My grandfather survived the 1900 storm and I heard about it from him many times. I love that grubby ugly part of Texas but I haven’t been down there since Ike killed the oak trees on the island.
