If I was his brother, I would want to play with my brother. I was able to in hs and we also went to a UH camp. Briles called me by my hometown after a catch.

My great great great grandparents are buried near Ganado, great great grandparents farmed between Shiner and Moulton, and great grandparents grew up in Shiner.
Many many decades later that resulted in me graduating from the University of Houston. Hopefully the Brooks brothers will do the same.

Are your great great grandparents Chinese? The Chinese helped build this country despite being discriminated and their contributions were overlooked.

I lived in Palacios and worked at the Bay City Nuke. I have never see mosquitos like that place has. Also, my son attended 4th grade there in the best Public School System I have seen . The Nuke was in their Tax Base and provided two teachers per room of about 15 students. They had the best of everything .
Go Coogs !

No – I’m 0% Chinese, just an occasional fan of the restaurant. The ancestors I’m referring to immigrated to Texas from Germany in the 1870’s.

Mine did as well… started out in mentz outside of Columbus and made way to el campo… like I said my gpa was a game warden down in palacious… good fishing yep think there is more shrimp in the water there then anywhere else… I think the fishing it better down my way in rockport but that’s just my bias

Thanks for enlightening us.
This topic took a turn, and no one is arguing. Just friendly family history.
