My wife and I werein Galveston today, we live about a three hour drive from there, so we don't get there very often. They were closed for inventory, as we got to the door a woman that worked there told us that 'col Bubbie" died last May and that his widow is running the place. We hated o hear that becuse Bubbie was fun to talk with. I hope that she can keep the place open.

I wasnt aware that he had died........Didnt know that she had opened the shop back up either. I know that for a while, the Col. was supplying movies with military wardrobe exclusively. I always thought he had the coolest shop in Galveston.

Col Bubbies basement sales area flooded during Hurricane Ike and he lost most of the inventory down there.  Now where will I find an Italian Army mess kit?  I always enjoyed shopping there, although in the dead of summer it sometime felt like you were descending into the depths of Hell-not much air down there!

It's been over a year since Ike...

I don't think it's comming back but I wish them the best.

I'm sorry to hear that Col. Bubbie passed away.  He was a neat guy to talk to.  I had been going there since the early '80s.
