    Will be in Galveston on Oct 27. Was trying to see if it’s possible to do a cemetery tour. There’s only two of us. If not we will try and do something soon. Thanks

      No, Heather, I’m sorry I have other engagements on that date. I do have a late cemetery tour on the 15th. Are you only in town on Saturday?

    Hi Kathleen,

    Are you at all available to schedule a Strand tour Saturday 10/16/21? I am only in town for that night sadly

    Thank you

    Do you have any cemetery tours in November, like the 8th through the 12th or the 22nd through the end of November?

    • admin says:

      Hi, Vicki

      I’m happy to open up a tour for Wednesday, Oct. 27 if that works for you. Are you interested in an “after dark” version or daylight only? After dark would begin at either 6 or 6:30. Let me know which you prefer – since you’ll be the first to sign up for it you can choose. I’ll send you the link for registration as soon as you decide.

    First, We met your daughter Thanksgiving day as she was our server at Hannah’s here in Denton. Somehow, we started talking about our trip to Galveston January 20 and 20 to see the USS Texas in drydock and she mentioned you did tours (she also said you were the coolest person she has ever known. Good for you, Mom). We also saw you with Michael and Ashley at the Mansard House on TV.

    Are you available for a tour Saturday or Sunday night, January 20 or 21 ? We’re staying at the Tremont.

      Hi, Joe! I’m so very sorry that I’m only just seeing your message. I hope that you enjoyed your stay on the island, and that you can join me for a tour in the future. So happy that you stayed at The Tremont. I actually have a book coming out in May about the history oof the hotel.
      And thank you for the kind words about (and from) my daughter! That makes my heart happy.
