Here are two photos of my grandfather, Herbert Albert Rachuig, while visiting Galveston in 1941. As you can see is wading in the surf with the family pet, Lu-Li. She is a Pekingese, which he got from a family in Clifton who bred dogs and lived on Hackberry Street. I believe their name was Rasmussen.
My grandfather died in an industrial accident in Warta, Texas just south of Giddings. He worked for Humble Oil, as did his older brother Walter A. Rachuig, Sr.
Here is an article about the accident.
