Rockport: A Childhood by the Sea

 Of the many areas on the Texas coast that my father was familiar with, he chose Rockport because of its uniquely beautiful geographic qualities. Our family thrived in that place where my mother worked diligently to provide a wonderful home beside the sea. The neighbors, friends, and classmates made for a place where a happy childhood could be lived in peace and safety. That experience has been a comfort throughout all my life.-John D. Freeman
