ChrisHOST
And Don, you actually this time gave me a seven-day notice before you came.
ChrisHOST
Like a seven-day notice before you came to Galveston Island.
ChrisHOST
So your history with this island is what? Just show up.
ChrisHOST
No, but you have a history here at Galveston Island.
ChrisHOST
Oh, I'm
Don MarshallGUEST
sorry.
Chester MooreHOST
We've talked about this with the officials of Colossal Bioscience.
Chester MooreHOST
It's the ghost wolves of Galveston Island.
Chester MooreHOST
Sometimes they're called non-coyote canids.
Chester MooreHOST
In other words, animals that have a lot of traits of red wolf, not only morphologically, but there's some DNA.
Chester MooreHOST
And I believe, and I've written about this since my career started, it's not just Galveston Island.
Chester MooreHOST
It's all over the place.
Chester MooreHOST
Literally, the first article I ever wrote was about red wolf sightings in Orange County that a Texas Parks and Wildlife endangered species biologist told me were probably coyote-type animals that had some red wolf DNA.
Katy MarkertHOST
That's right.
Katy MarkertHOST
We're coming to you live from the 2026 TSA New Ideas Annual Conference right here on Galveston Island.
Steven StoutHOST
That's right.
Steven StoutHOST
And believe it or not, this is now our third year recording the podcast live at New Ideas.
Michael BerryHOST
When you look back on our civilization, the way you do the Romans or Greek, we're going to ask, how did we treat each other? How did we treat our children? What did we do to educate them? What did we do for leisure? What were our pastimes? What were our great joys? Uh, what did we do for our elderly? How did, how did we treat people once they grow old? What were our professions? What was our commerce? What were our houses of worship? These, these are the important things, and I like to tell stories about people who may not be famous, although our next guest used to qualify for that, but I'm not sure that's true anymore.
Michael BerryHOST
He's become rather famous, uh, and he's not just, as they say in Galveston Island famous.
Michael BerryHOST
Uh, he's, he's famous north of the Causeway as well.
Michael BerryHOST
Let me start, um ...
speaker_1HOST
The failure of communications was part of a wider isolation.
speaker_1HOST
Bridges connecting Galveston Island to the mainland were destroyed during the hurricane, removing its railway routes.
speaker_1HOST
Once those links failed, residents could no longer depend on an ordinary journey inland.
speaker_1HOST
The city was becoming a collection of shelters whose occupants had to endure whatever came next.
Tom AlvarezHOST
There you go
Eddie CurryGUEST
... and, uh, the summer after my fourth year in 1989, I went to the Midwest Theater auditions in St. Louis, uh, Missouri at Webster University, and got cast by Galveston Island Outdoor Musicals, a summer stock company doing musicals down on Galveston Island, just south of Houston.
Eddie CurryGUEST
And the guys who ran that company had gotten their equity cards by working at Beef 'n Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis.
Eddie CurryGUEST
And so that summer they invited Doug Stark from Indianapolis to come down and see their shows, and they said, "Hey, look, we've got about 45 people living here on the grounds, and I know they would love to audition for you.
ErikHOST
So we went there and that was difficult 'cause zero visibility and it was just kind of uncomfortable.
ErikHOST
And then we had tried to, um, get on as diving volunteers at, uh, Moody Gardens, the aquarium out on Galveston Island.
ErikHOST
And we'd gone through the whole process and then the lead of it was kind of a little, little bit of a jerk while we were there.
HannahHOST
Well-
Clyde LawHOST
Right.
Clyde LawHOST
You know, and, um, which I just tell you, it speaks volumes of the dedication of the men and women that's in this line of work, because I'm going to tell you, uh, back in the eighties when, uh, hurricane Alicia, uh, hit Galveston Island I was like knee deep and you know in figuratively speaking needy and alligators right I mean I was standing in water up to my chest trying to help a guy carry a guy on on my back that's probably why I got a fracture anyway but to get him to a pole to a service pole in order for him to hook that pole and get up there and you know get get you know when we installed a fuse and to get, you know, just a little bit of a, you know, a section of a customer's back online, you know, that type of thing.
Clyde LawHOST
And that kind of stuff was going on and, and you're just not going to find that many people this day and age willing to say, you know, well, when things are good, oh man, look, boy, those guys out there, they got it made, you know, uh, Yeah, they got it made until the, you know, what is they say? It's the fan.
Clyde LawHOST
And then, boy, it takes a tremendous concerted effort.
Karla JoHOST
No, I didn't grow up in Tyler.
Karla JoHOST

Larry HightowerGUEST
Sure.
Karla JoHOST
And, you know, I was part of the dance team there.
