[Steppes] Gulf War site

[Jann Mays]

Galen and I go wayyyy back to our childhood days.  Galen, you just sparked a
memory.  Didn't we run into each other in Galveston about that time?  You and
Pam were both with your parents I believe and I was there with my parents. 
Also, we went back later.  I remember eating at a Pizza Inn across the highway
from the beach.  There was a half-buried ship on its side about 20 feet from
their entrance.  Talk about a scenic lunch!  :D
