I just want to thank everybody involved for getting and keeping the Beacon online. It gives me a little taste of home when I hunger for it. Anybody that remembers me feel free to email me.

Mr. Bojangles met me on line and danced a jig but misunderstood that I wanted to hear psychological analysis of Palacios, not me. My only original point was that Palacios people are good people at heart, yet so quick to judge. No one is blaming anyone. As a war veteran would not blame his enemy for being captured but himself instead, that is the key to survival. No matter if I'm from a household of one mom and two dads, or if I'm from the great grocery family, or if I'm just a cook after school at the popular drive-in, no one will pay my bills but me. If I go out and rob a store, if I am caught, no one will go to jail for me, no matter my color. The bully/picked on theory you had was not far off, yet it only degrades those not willing to further themselves after high school. In other words, those picked on, could have given up on life because boo-hoo they had no friends. But their goals in life might have never included having friends. Yet, people who thought they were taught to "read their lesson" by a teacher, should have read a good book instead that would have taught them to learn on their own. That's how kids learn better, you read you see, you hear, you remember. Attack education from every angle. Anyway though, Palacios still has it. All the gossip, all the good people, like any other town in America. The people who survive and succeed, are the ones who know how to ignore those in line who are just trying to keep them down to keep their job. Or as in the old monty pythonian proverb, take the story of the crabs being held captive without a lid. "Oh don't worry, they don't need a lid, they'll keep each other in the bucket. How? Because, as soon as one gets closer to the top, the others will pull him down. Don't worry, it's been this way for a long time".
Remember, the guys in the high school band got made fun of because they didn't play football, but they also used to ride home with all the women after the Friday night game. No sweat, no bruises, perfume, and holding hands. Secret of life?

Hello again, I'd like to respond to Skip's nice Letter, Skip even though there is only 3 stop lights in palacios, the "west side" is thousands of miles from the "east side". No matter where you live, you are always in your own world. And if the "minority priority wagon" was the wagon to hop on, then there would have been more than "one African American teacher". Skip, you seem bright and seems like you've done good for yourself. But i don't think anybody is blaming anyone for anything. It seems to me that you were unpopular back at PHS and that one teacher didn't pay to much attention to you. You probably got picked on and hated going to school. But you turned alright. But HEY, thats just my psychological profile of you............OUT

Please don't take things so seriously...this is a place that everyone can write their thoughts and feelings. Not just "WHATZUP!" That is what I am tired of looking at. This guestbook gives everyone something to write about, yet it also is the first impression of our community for those who are not from Palacios. I want to believe that Palacios is an small community with some intelligent citizens and if all others see is "WHATZUP!" then what do they think of our town? Please remember that everyone has their right to voice thier own opinions, good or bad, but please don't make Palacios look like some small town full of dumb citizens that cannot have intelligent, thought provoking ideas.

Sandy, I must agree with you. A few weeks ago it was so bad on here I was near tears.There were several people who were really run into the ground. I am a firm believer in free speech. But I also believe there is a time and place for everything. I don't know what Nicks' goal was for the guestbook but I am sure it must not have been a place to trash people.

I just want to comment that these entries are getting harder and harder to read, much less understand. The Matagorda Co. Forum is for sounding off, maybe some should try that. It used to be enjoyable to read the pleasant entries here, but not so much anymore.

I am very interested in the psychology of a small town like Palacios. You grow up loving your hometown, glad you're not from Bay City, thank God you're not from Blessing...or El Campo, or anywhere else but Pulashus. Yet, at the same time you're proud, you make fun of "losing another football game", you make fun because you have no movie theater there, there's only three stop lights in town, you're no more from the west side as you are from the east. You'll brag that there were only 10 people in some of your classes (teacher to student ratio very good for these days' standards) then turn around and hate your class because you only had a two-digit graduation list. So you graduate and meet the big city. Though you are drawn to the big city lights, you won't feel at home until you pull into the drive of a nice house whose horizon escapes the farthest skyscraper. And soon you find that going shopping in the downtown area (or some posh cities refer to this part of town, as the Historic District), is too much hassle. You're stuck between a mad arab in a cab and a mad american trying to get into your lane, the lane you have been trying to get out of since you pulled off the loop in the first place. Ah, but the name of a big town, H-Town maybe, that's where it's at. No gangs in that town. Your Real Estate agent, who has a nice home in the country by the way, uses catch phrases like "a small stretch from the main loop yet luxuriously located in the quaint suberb of Rustic Oaks", "You'll get the fun of the city while enjoying the peace of country living" located just behind Kroger's. Oh, but who is at fault for not knowing when we're happy becuase we're supposed to be, or sad because we were supposed to be happy and are not? It's Palacios' fault right? I think it's more the fault of the entertainment industry starting out with the show "Dallas". Though, when it was popular, I think people realized this was a show (soap opera in the least), and not real life. Somehow, America decided this was the way of real life, suit and tie looked classy, as did eyeshadow and Gucci bags. Soon Dillard's became the place to get your ticket to ride, credit cards buying what you could not afford today but somehow made sense out of making it possible to afford tomorrow with an 18% interest rate. Where a parent used to could be proud to give a modest car to their child to drive to school, as long as it got 'em there, was now a place being created right off the silver screen where the tags were worth more than the kid driving it. Palacios is to blame. Enter Oprah Winfrey. Never mind. Somehow I slept through the time period we used to make fun of soap actors' accents and suddenly now made fun of those who could not adapt to this extravagant lifestyle. It's the whole Cup-of-coffee-chino ideal being poured over the entire American culture at once, way too hot to handle but who is going to stand up to the present day ills while it's so much easier to attack yesterday for in that we are able to say, I am so smart now, if only I had known this when. Palacios is to blame. Yes, Pulashus has its faults, and its teachers did too. Eating and wining and dining with the richest folks I've ever met, meaning everyone there but me, had a networth of over a million dollars a year, I learned that those people are actually happy, as are the poor. Those in the middle are usually the ones who don't know where they stand. And it's not Palacios' fault. It's our own, for not knowing where we stand. Blaming parents, teachers, priests, even policemen for where we are in life. So why vent my thoughts but not name my name? Those who live in glass houses, should be so unlucky as to pass a glass stone from drinking too much Coke. Think on this for a moment. If you could be God for a day (or 33 years), what town would you live in? Whether it's Texas or Jerusalem, you will as long as you're human, eat, sleep and die just the same. Be happy where you're at, for tomorrow you may not be so happy.

I remember the Blue Capricorn, i also remember the teachers..They weren't all bad, I remember Larry D., he always gave a lesson in life, but one thing i have to disagree with mr. D, and that is even if i didnt know government, it was still boring....but you did a good job. miss arrendondo was pretty cool also...but then you had some other teachers, who shouldnt have been teachers. they were, just plain racists....but they couldnt help it, thats the way they were raised and didnt know any better. And it didnt help that some of us lived up to the stereo-type that has been pinned on us.....LOUD, thiefs and much more, but just remember not everyone should be stereo-typed.
I remember once a teacher said that the bully who always beat up the GEEK would one day be working for the geek....and its true, not in all cases, but in most. but you know in most cases the bully usually had it worst, probably low-income family, dysfunctional family or whatever....I'm not trying to make excuses, but its a fact, some kids get more chances than others...and its not just financial, it starts off financial, If you come from a family like the Cleavers you will get treated better than if you come from a single family or family where you have 5 step-fathers in 3 years....but i guess its not just in palacios, Hell look at the NFL. all-american, clean-cut Troy Aikman would never get replaced with African-American Randall Cunningham. How dare they even think about it.........OUT

Just wanted to tell anyone from the class of 1991, there is a website for our class reunion being planned for June of 2001. It is: Palacios1991.bizland.com Please send any request/comments through that email. I'd like to respond to the person not happy with his/her teachers: you'd be surprised how much you can resolve when you confront someone in private about any situation, that is if you are looking for a resolution. Palacios is Small Town America, and either you love it or you hate it. If you're looking for big city lights, you won't find any there. If you're looking for a pro football team and stadium there, you won't find it. But neither will you find those big city taxes, traffic, or smog. I don't know of any school district that has perfected they way they hire teachers to "weed" out the few who would have made better students than teachers. But one rotten apple (or teacher) is not enough to hate an entire town, or the people of that town. If you're out of school now, become active in the school district. Move back to Palacios and fight for your beliefs, if you want a resolution, and join the school board so you might can have a say in deciding who the future teachers will be. It's too easy to sit and point at people just for making conversation. All towns would benefit if the teachers who are actually teaching were paid more. That would be a thing to fight for. And if you are indeed paying more, then you can demand more. I work right now with many former teachers of subjects ranging from Biology to English, and they all say they would have stayed teaching (the job they really loved) had the money been better. I know not all my teachers liked me (please, no emails or ticking packages...and don't try to be the first uni-email-bomber) and probably did gossip about me, but we did the same as students...gossip will probably determine our next commander in chief. But as I've said, one bad apple no matter how rotten, could not take away the education those other great, great teachers and coaches gave to me. But if you do find the perfect school where to raise a child without fault, please let me know so we can charge millions for admission. Therefore, if I am elected...

Concerning the letter about teachers. Whether the letter is accurate or not is not a factor. What is impt. is that if a student can concoct such a letter, then the faculty/student relations is not in good standing

It sounds like things are exactly the way they always were at Palacios schools. I totally agree with the letter about the teachers. There are some great people in Palacios, it just seems like a lot of the bad ones are employed with the school district. It's too bad some of them can't teach as well as they can gossip about their students.

I grew up in Palacios and I can tell anyone that it truly is a great town. It is a great town but the people are what brings Palacios down. Now don't get me wrong, there are definitely some great people from Palacios, but there are too many of you who simply care too much about others lives instead of your own. The junior high and high school faculties are one of the main problems. The teachers are too busy gossiping about who is doing what on the weekends when they should only be concerned with the education of their students. Afterall they got their degrees in education and not gossip right? Hypocrites, Hypocrites, Hypocrites!!! Teachers it is none of your business what your students do on the weekends. They have rights too!!! If Palacios is so concerned with this beautification project, why don't you start with beautifying the inside with the people of this town first. I know that it is a small town but it is really really bad when you surpass the stereotypes of small towns. We are terrible. When I talk of days past in Palacios to my friends from other towns all they can say is, "Man that is really bad!!!" or "Gee, I thought my town was bad!!!" Another issue is the sports programs at PHS. C'mon parents you have to let your kids lead their own lives. What are you going to do when they go to college? Are you going to complain to the profs for failing your kids. When coaches yell at kids, they are teaching them to be tough, they are teaching them self discipline. Your kids are going to need this when they get out in the real world. Please parents you have to stop interferring with the athletic programs at PHS. You are the reason why we will never produce high quality teams. If you kid has no talent, dont be surprised if he/she sits on the bench. High school sports are designed to make it to state, not to play everyone on the team to satisfy parents. That is what junior high was for. Pleases parents quits raising pusilanimous children. Well I believe that is all I wanted to say. Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this.

It was great being back in Palacios for the combined reunion. It was a great success due to the organization and work on the part of the committee (Harry Hulen, Dickie Kubecka, Billy & Gerry Stuhrenerg, Betty (Ramsey) Weir and all of the others who were part of the group). To all of you who were there, it was good to see all of you and to renew old friendships and to visit. To all who didn't make it for whatever reason, you missed a great weekend, hope you will all plan to make to the next one. To Gerry and Betty, keep the effort going to reach out to all of our classmates and reunite all of us (Class of '61)at the next reunion (never too soon). Hope to visit with all possible at Christmas.

I use to live in Palacios when I was a child. I also went to school there, and enjoyed the area. My parents and I use to move around quite a bit as I was growing up. And to me, Palacios was my first home. I can remember smelling the salt air that would blow off of the bay. I remember my parents use to own a bay boat called the Dannylynn. My brother and I sold the crabs and my parents sold the fish and shrimp. One day, my dad went out into the bay with a young man named Herman Austin, and they brought back a seven hundred pound turtle. Our boat was leaning on one side, as it entered the docks.

I am originally from Deutschburg Community and graduated from Palacios in 1972. I am currently the President of the Chamber of Commerce in Port Lavaca, and we have been trying to obtain grants for our Halfmoon Reef Lighthouse Visitors Center. In the process of doing so, we received a letter from a Jerry K. Deutsch with Banc One Securities Corp. in Houston who has a strong interest not only in our lighthouse, but also Palacios. His grandfather, Joe L. Deutsch, was a mayor of Palacios for 10 years in the first half ot the twentieth century. His father, Joe L. Deutsch, Jr., was a football captain at PHS in 1921 or 1922. His grandather, Maude Hill Deutsch, and aunt, Jay Hill Rhodes, were both raised in the Halfmoon Reef Lighthouse in the years just before and after 1900. After speaking with Jerry on the phone, he has asked for my help in establishing an annual football scholorship at PHS in memory of his father, which I am working on, and has also asked for any historical information I can obtain in regards to any/all of his family members. He also knows that some of his relatives came in to this country from Germany through Indianola. He is not certain of the connection with his family and the Deutschburg Community, but feels certain there must be some connection.

If you can help me in obtaining any information that I can furnish to him, it would be greatly appreciated. As soon as I can arrange, he plans a trip to our area to 1) visit the lighthouse he has never seen, 2) visit Palacios and Deutschburg community, and 3) go on a tour of our county, to include Indianola.

Thanks for your help, and you can reach me at either of the e-mail address listed above, or my phone number at work is 552-4567 (not long distance) or
1-800-260-5499. Look forward to hearing from you.

I was pleasantly surprised to see your paper online. My mother grew up in Palacios and worked at the hospital after my father retired. They lived at Cape Carancahua for a number of years before moving to my Father’s hometown of Cleveland, Texas. As a child, I visited Palacios an average of two weeks out of the year and loved the City, the Pavilion, those salty line snow cones at the drugstore and all the other things about it. My grandparents were David Quinn and Mishie Quinn. My mother is Gladys Evelyn Quinn Burkett. She married my father over 50 years ago in Bay City, Texas. I now live in Charleston, South Carolina. I am the first person in my family to move permanently out of Texas although I hope to retire there one day.

I can assuredly tell all Texas, it is true—-”there is no other place like Texas.” It is special and so unique and the people are the same. Keep up the good work. I love seeing names that I still recognize popping up in your paper that I recall from my visits to my grandparent’s home.

Hey all. Sure hated to leave PHS after 1960 school year. Never have forgot it either. The 9th & 10th grades were really fun and although small, the Shark Band was great to be in. I have run into a few of you and hopefully, the reunion coming up at the end of Sept., I will see more. In the yearbook I was listed as Wilburn Jones: 1958-59 and 1959-60. If anyone remembers me, give me a holler. Jonesy

Thanks Palacios Beacon for putting Palacios on the map by being on line.

Thanks Sharks for helping with the Shark winning tradition. Remember, when the score board indicates you've lost----you haven't. I remember playing in a game with Vanderbilt in 1950. Industrial had us 20-0 at the half and our fans had left the stands under sheets of rain from cold norther. We won the game on penetrations and downs 20-20 score. Just keep on fighting sharks.

What happened to - "Bats eat 3000 mosquitos in one hour"? That query was erased! The new plans to make 4 reserviors at the lower end of the colorado river basin will help lower the misquito population, by flooding some of the wetlandsThe resevoirs will directly lower the chances of an epidemic; the risk of misquito viruses!; that can save lives! Support for resevoirs will help a year round population of fish that eat misquito larvae! That's a sure cure for the misquito problem.

I was only in 2nd grade, but remember. It was really scary coming home to that disaster. Remember the houses on 35. Our house was in Foley Addition and it with one other were the only two houses left on our block. Remember tales about cows in bathtubs, snakes everywhere. Shrimp boat on the highway and in houses. Will never forget. For anyone who has never experience a hurricane, BEWARE. Heed all warnings.

Where have all the "coon dogs" gone? Would like hear from members of the Class of 63. I get to Palacios frequently to visit my mother who is in the nursing home there. I have kept in touch with Emily Weakly Edmunds. Her mother is also a resident at the nursing home. Two years ago, back and neck injuries forced me to retire from my job as a special education teacher. Now, I spend my days doing decrotive arts and web surfing.

HEY PALACIOS, WHATS UP? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY EXCEPT THAT I WISH I COULD HAVE STAYED THERE FOR HIGH SCHOOL TO SEE HOW IT WOULD HAVE BEEN,BUT I MOVED TO SAN ANTONIO SO I COULD GO TO SCHOOL THERE AND GET IN MORE TROUBLE, WELL I'M DOING FINE, I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND LOVE HER TO DEATH. I HAVE A VERY GOOD JOB AS TRUCK DRIVER AND IN ALL 48 STATES AND BACK, THEN I DECIDED TO STAY IN TEXAS SO I COULD SEE MY DAUGHTER MORE OFTEN. IN CASE ANY OF YOU DON'T KNOW ME, I WAS IN PALACIOS IN THE LATE 80'S UNTIL I MOVED FROM THERE IN 1990-91. I THINK IT'S BEEN SO LONG. I WAS FRIENDS WITH ANDREW GONZALES, OSCAR MATA, COURTNEY GRIGSBY, AND SO ON. YOU ALL KNOW ME KNOW THEN RIGHT.

Hi Nick,
David Wolbrueck told me about your website. This is great! Now, I'll be able
to keep up with the Matagorda Co. news. I left Bay City six years ago to go to
work for the Girl Scouts in Corpus Christi. Two years ago I moved to Orlando,
Fla., to work for the Girl Scouts here and I love it! I'm the communications
manager and I write, edit and layout the publications, brochures and fliers
for our council. I just finished overseeing a three-day photo shoot in which
photos from this shoot will be used in our 2002 Girl Scout calendar.
My brother and his family live here, so I am enjoying watching my niece
and nephew grow up. Again, I enjoyed your website! Keep up the good work,
Nick!

That little boy is "13" years old and I still have your stethoscope. He's in the 8th grade this year and is a straight A student. It's great hearing from you. Living in Palacios during the "60's" was great. Fun places to remember, the Moo Moo, the Teeze Freeze, being in band and the new high school and we swam in the bay all the time, did you?
I think retiring to Palacios sounds like a good idea. How is Jerry anyway?

I am so sorry Palacios is losing Wagner General Hospital. I feel there should be an investigation into the closing and figures should be presented. You have no idea how many people will loose their lives on the way to the nearest hospital. Contact your county commissioner and demand an accounting.
Hey, Ginger Shearer, does that "little boy" of yours still have my stethoscope?" I hope he put it to good use. My brother Jerry is thinking about moving back to Palacios. I sure hope he likes it. Again, I ask you to fight for your hospital. Talk with some of the former employees and associates. Don't let Palacios die-this is the first step down the road.

I have been reading you online for some time now and you are GREAT. I usually bring it up every Tuesday afternoon. I have been reading the articles on Hurricane Carla and I love early files & News. I made a copy of Carla for Johnnie Glaros who was in the Class of 1936 and Ruth Petersen Blanton who was in the Class of 1939. Thanks for such a fine report.

I graduated from Palacios High School in 1939. We moved to Palacios in 1926. Somebody in your newspaper really knows computers. At my age I, like so many my age, fought computers when they first became popular. Now I would not be without one.

My cousin in Houston somehow found your newpaper on-line. We're very interested in Mr. R.B.Trull of the Rice Foundation.Our lineage on one side of the family<(grandmother} was
a Trull. If you ever do an article on him or in some fashion can convey to him our interest would be much appreicated. The Trull's settled in Mississippi, and eventually moved to Texas around the turn of the century.
It's great that your paper has went on-line and I suspect that I will from time to time look over on whats happening in Palacios. Thanks again.

Hi Everybody, and congratulations to the Beacon for having such a good site! I spent most of my growing-up years in Palacios, graduating in 1960. I'll always be grateful for experiencing the "Fabulous Fifties" in a small town. My kids say they are envious of me for having had that experience. My classmates were (and are) very much like family to me, and I'm looking forward to seeing all of you plus the classes of '58, '59, '61, and '62 (and other special friends from other classes) at our big "Millenium Reunion" in Sept. BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!! Love, Carole Jean Chamberlain Glowka (cjglowka@yahoo.com)

Hi everyone, this is great being able to write and visit online with everyone. I don't get to Palacios very often, but the older I get the more I would like to retire there and enjoy the setting sun over the bay. I try to visit Gaye and Jan whenever I can. Mother and I shop for her groceries and always enjoy eating lunch there and we often see many of our friends. I'm looking forward to hearing from some of you that I have not seen in a long time. Love and kisses, Ginger (Shearer) Hennig

I remember the Moo-Moo. Great food. Also the Teeze-Freeze. Great hangout and food.
And the Harbor Drive In. The restaurant where you could get good food late at night was called The Loop, I think. Guess we all have those memories of Palacios at better times.

The MooMoo was cool but how about The Harbor Inn Drivein??? Many a lost night started there...Or how about eating enchaladas late at night at the (can't think of the cafe) but it was at the end of main street by Brandon's store.

Looking for anyone who attended Primer or First Grade at Ashby School near El Maton during 1946 and 1947. Also looking for anyone who attended Second Grade at Blessing Elementary during 1947 and 1948. Looking forward to finding classmates.

Yes, the Moo-Moo! Glass gallon bottle that you put a nipple/pourer on after you got it home. Like a big baby bottle. Moo-Moo was run by the Kutach family. They made a great Sissyburger--no onions or mustard.

Yes! The Moo-Moo! Does anyone remember going there to buy milk in glass bottles? Return the bottle for the deposit or the deposit amount off your next bottle of milk. Old days, fond memories.

Great job on the website. I sure enjoyed the pictures. It makes me long for good ole Palacios. My family is from Palacios. We are the Boultinghouse. I am Roy's daughter. I still have two aunts living there, plus assorted friends. If anyone sees Betty or Linda tell them Mary Lous said hi. Will be sure and come back often.
I also got a kick when I read the reference to the Moo-Moo. Does anyone remember the Teaz-Freeze?? I tell folks about the Moo-Moo and they think I am crazy. I'm glad I'm not.

You have a great web site and you are to be congratulated for the detailed effort you put into it. I hope anyone who lives in your fair city can help me. I am doing research on Camp Hulen. My brother was stationed there in 1942 or 43 and, my hopes are to present him with these findings and in the hopes it will not only bring a tear to his eye but, a smile on his lips also. Right now I need any photos of the camp from back then and also, any memories anyone would have from back then. Many thanks to the Palacios Beacon for allowing me make this request. God Bless All Of You and you may call me collect at anytime at the
address and phone number listed below.

I would just like to say hello to everyone, and thank my Uncle Mike for sending me the Palacios Beacon web page. It is very rare that I get the chance to visit home. The military is great in keeping me busy. It's nice to read about what is going on back home.
