Her's a few pictures of Port O'Connor and of the roads to get there. We always know when someone has never been to PO'C ~ if they say something like "oh yea, I've driven thru Port O'Connor " you know for a fact they've never been there...you don't drive thru PO'C ~ it's one road in.... You take 1289 out of Port Lavaca and then 185 into town. It's a very, very small little fishing community. You'll see here a shot of the front beach pier and one of the Fishing Center. The fishing center is where all the locals sit on the dock to watch the tourists launch and load their boats ~ it tends to be pretty entertaining. My dad loved to sit down here on the weekends and watch the people. Following his death, we had a park bench with his name on it put down on the dock as a rememberance ! It's a pretty slow little town that gets to hopping when fishing season is in full swing and there's a couple of big fishing tournaments that happen and bring in lots of tourists.
Milt and I met somewhere around 1967 -- a really long time ago. We will be married 30 years this coming November. Both of us grew up in the Victoria Texas area, but moved around a few times right after we were married, finally ending up in Lake County California in June of 1982. We had Lee in September 1985 and then Johnathan in July 1987. We have added to the family when Lee married Amber, his high school sweetheart in June 2007. I am currently working for the superior courts and Milt retired from the pipefitters union about 6 years ago. We still have some property in Texas and spend time back there. The boys, of course, are grown and off on their own now and we see them as often as we can.
