This was a neat story for a History buff like me (and History major) to cover.  The historic Battleship Texas was towed from La Porte (where it's been on display since 1948) to Galveston for much needed repairs in a dry dock.  It's the only surviving ship of its kind to have served in both WWI and WWII.  I was assigned to do a piece on the ship's history.  Fortunately, a 100 year-old WWII veteran who actually served aboard the Texas from 1940 to 1942 showed up to see her off.      

Family speaks about deputy constable fatally shot while off-duty

We encounter a lot of sadness in the news business.  And seeking out family or loved ones of homicide victims is a necessary evil.  In this case, an off-duty Harris County Pct. 3 deputy constable was shot and killed while driving home from getting dinner.  Investigators did not rule out road rage.  They were still looking for a possible suspect when I filed this report with the victim's family.  Fortunately, they were welcoming when I made a cold call on their home.
