I've read Isaac's Storm, and my family has history along the Texas coast, so I wanted to find out more about the 1900 Hurricane. Gin was a wealth of knowledge! Very informed and entertaining. She started with background history at the Galveston County Historical Museum, then took me on a walking tour downtown. So many stories! So much history! Gin was very kind and even made sure that I was at the trolly stop in order to catch the last train back to my hotel. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon, Gin!
