However I do tend to believe that is where they were actually found and his story about the estate sale.

Galveston is a relatively small island and almost everything (If not everything) in the store was indeed from Galveston. Lost of stuff from the Balanese Room and Studio lounge and all the other chips he had were definately Galveston area chips.

Being that Galveston had lot of clubs at the same time that Chicago did it would not be hard to believe that someone who owned a club in Chicago could at some point move to that area or have relatives there.

Hopefully Dave will have some information that will help.

Thanks,
Doug
