In the first interview of 2010 I was able to speak with Dorothy Wilson via phone and did not have the pleasure of meeting her. Given the opportunity a couple of weeks ago, I quickly raced to the Senior Center in Port Lavaca and was able to meet her face-to-face and learn more about her. It seems to me there has never been a dull moment for this Seadrift resident.
Of course, I had to share the experience with Dolphin Talk readers and my blog. Navigate to the video page to find photos of Mrs. Wilson and her collages of Seadrift’s past.
I really enjoyed the article on Aunt Geraldine. She is a wonderful lady and I love listening to her stories about Seadrift and our family history. She tells it like it is… or was. She really is the family glue that keeps all her brothers in line. (and us newphews too) Another thing about her is her wonderful paintings. My favorite painting is a castle from Portugel. My Dad took a pic when he was in the Navy in the late 50s or ealy 60s and she painted a great piece of art. We had that art hanging in our living room as I was growing up in Seadrift. Later I actually saw that castle in an article in National Geographic magazine. Awesome!
Damon,
First off, thank you for your post. Second, your Aunt Dorothy is one of the most interesting ladies I’ve ever met! She is full of tales about Seadrift and your family roots. Glad to hear that you and the family enjoyed the articles in the Dolphin Talk. Thanks so much! – Jasmine
