In Remembrance

Darden Jackson (Jack) Bushong
Malloy & Son Funeral Home

Darden Jackson (Jack) Bushong Darden Jackson (Jack) Bushong died on his birthday February 1st at Mainland Medical Center, Texas City. He died from natural causes.

A resident of Galveston since 1959, Jack was born in New Market, Virginia, on February 1, 1929. He will be remembered for his outstanding achievements in the hotel, tourism, and hospitality industry, his love for golf, and for his dedication to his Rotary Club and the International Golfing Fellowship of Rotarians.

Jack attended Randolph Macon Business College and Cornell University’s Hotel & Restaurant Management College before graduating from Bridgewater College in Virginia. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War as a Special Services Officer in the EUCOM HQ in Europe.

After completing his military service, he held hotel management positions with the Hilton Corporation in Chicago, before being asked by the Moody family to move to Galveston to take over the Galvez Hotel, Moody Civic Center and Buccaneer Hotel (now the site of Edgewater Methodist Retirement Community.) Jack was general manager of these three properties during Hurricane Carla in 1961.

Next, he was asked to oversee construction and was named the first resident manager of a new Jack Tar hotel property on Grand Bahamas Island. From there, he assumed the position of general manager of the Grove Park Inn in North Carolina, before returning to Galveston as general manager of The Flagship Hotel in 1964.

After his first retirement from the hotel/hospitality industry, Jack was appointed Executive Director of the Galveston Convention & Visitors Bureau in 1979, a position he held for ten years. When he retired for the second time, he was appointed Executive Secretary for the Rotary Club of Galveston, a position he held until late 2007. Additionally, Jack served for almost 20 years as secretary for the Galveston Country Club.

To many, Jack will always be known for his love of golf and Rotary. His lifelong and enthusiastic interest in both created the opportunity for him to join the International Golfing Fellowship of Rotarians (IGFR) organization in the late 60s. Since 1974, he has served on the Executive Committee, first as vice president, and since 1977, as standing Secretary/Treasurer.

Locally, he has served on the Board of Directors of the Park Board of Trustees, and was chairman of the Tourism Development Committee and Park Board Chairman. He has served on the Boards for the Salvation Army, the Rotary Club of Galveston, the Galveston Chamber of Commerce, and the Galveston Country Club.

His greatest volunteer achievements have been with Rotary International. In 1993, he received special recognition from the President of Rotary International for his leadership in World Fellowship activities. Jack was also a Paul Harris Fellow, recognized as Most Valuable member of his Club, a V.I.T. member, and was listed on the Roll of Fame for his Rotary District #5910. Most recently in 2003, he received the first-ever Heart of Rotary Award created in memory of Rotarian William Felts.

Jack was also very well known and respected for creating and organizing golf tournaments in Galveston. Always motivated for “creating an event that would be good for Galveston and its economy”, he founded in the early 70s and was tournament director for the “Alaskan Open;” a regional tournament held in January; the National Super Seniors - an organization he created in 1976 for senior golfers 65 and over with a handicap of 20 or less - that was held in October; and he also created the “Mr. and Mrs. Tournament” held in November - all events that were held during Galveston’s “slow” tourist season.

Jack is survived by his wife of 31 years, Robyn Russell Bushong; a brother, Robert Bushong and wife, Marie, Midlothian, Virginia; brother-in-law and wife, Gregg and Becki Russell, Austin; and two nephews and one niece Bill Bushong, Rob Bushong, and Debbie Bushong Washburn.

A memorial service will be held Monday, February 9th at 2pm at First Lutheran Church, Galveston, with the Reverend Douglas Guthier officiating. Jack’s wishes were that his body be donated to science as he was a participant in the Willed Body Program, coordinated through the University of Texas Medical Branch. As such, there will be no burial.

On behalf of the family, a very sincere thank you to Dr. Michael Nguyen who has been instrumental in overseeing Jack’s care for the past 18 months.

A resident of Galveston since 1959, Jack was born in New Market, Virginia, on February 1, 1929. He will be remembered for his outstanding achievements in the hotel, tourism, and hospitality industry, his love for golf, and for his dedication to his Rotary Club and the International Golfing Fellowship of Rotarians.

The Twisted Ironies of
the Brantly Harris Recreational Pier

Johnny Garcia's Flagship

by Bill Cherry

Fletcher Harris, Jr., a former Galveston city councilman who passed away this past Father’s Day, was the nephew of a former Galveston mayor, Brantly Harris.

Brantly Harris was a maritime attorney. He had seen the famous Steel Pier in Atlantic City, and thought a similar recreational pier in Galveston would be a spectacular shot in the arm for attracting conventions and entertainment.

The tourist industry of the island was suffering at the time, another in its ups and downs that have followed it since the first tourist, Estevanico, stepped on her shores in 1528.

So as soon as Mr. Brantly came into office, he and Sid Holliday, Galveston’s most famous Chamber of Commerce manager, began promoting what they envisioned would be a replication of that steel pier, and it would be called the Brantly Harris Recreational Pier.

But World War II was churning up and building supplies, especially steel and concrete, were being rationed. The chances for bringing the idea to fruition became just this side of zero.

Fortunately, Mr. Brantly had many connections in the Roosevelt administration, especially Houstonian Jesse Jones, who was in the president's cabinet. Mr. Brantly and Mr. Sid went to Washington to sell their idea to Mr. Jesse, but now wrapped in a patriotic package.

The proposed pier would be the perfect recreational facility for the many service men who were stationed on and near the island.

The pier was built, used by the military, and turned back to the city at the end of the war. The name was changed to the Pleasure Pier, and it operated until 1961 when Hurricane Carla all but destroyed it. It had never been a true success in its 20-year life.

Houston banker Jimmy Lyons came to tell the city that if it would convert the pier into the first hotel ever built over tidewater, it would be the catalyst needed to rebuild the tourist industry again. Lyons and the city opened the Flagship Hotel in 1965.

Soon thereafter, Jack Bushong was enticed to make sure that Lyons and the city’s dream would be a booming success. Mr. Jack became the manager, and he put together the best team to guarantee that success that had ever worked in Galveston’s tourist industry.

Big Don Benson came in as the restaurant manager, O’Neal Thomas as the bar manager, and cocktail jazz piano great Johnny Garcia with his group, Chano Rodriguez, Oscar Garcia and Penny Ochoa played for dancing.

Within moments, the Flagship took on the feel of a cruise ship, docked at the foot of Rosenberg Ave., that was ready to sail into the moonlit gulf, on its way to a faraway port.

Mr. Johnny had come to Galveston immediately after his stint in the service, began playing at Jesse Lopez’s famous La Rumba, met and married Galvestonian Melba Rogers, and they had two children.

For the next ten years, the Jack Bushong formula totally accomplished what Mr. Jimmy and the city had envisioned. Not one of those members of the team had left his Flagship post; almost unheard of in the hotel industry.

But then in 1976, Mr. Jimmy wanted to sell the hotel, Mr. Jack wanted to semi-retire, Mr. Don wanted to move to Houston, and Mr. Johnny and Miss Melba had begun longing to try life in California. The team had made the Flagship Galveston’s most successful hotel, and kept it that way. It was the only time in its 35-year life that it had been the pride of Galveston. It was time for the baton to be passed on.

Within a few years, Chano Rodriguez, Oscar Garcia and Penny Ochoa had passed away. The Flagship had already begun to fall into disrepair.

Hurricane Ike struck and seriously damaged the Flagship on September 13, 2009. Johnny Garcia passed away in Lakewood, California on September 22nd. Jack Bushong died on his 80th birthday, February 1, 2009. Big Don Benson died in Houston 8 days later. Only O’Neal Thomas, 75, of the original Bushong Team remains.

Once again discussions are mounting as to what catalytic part a 1938 idea that began as the Brantly Harris Recreation Pier might play this time in the rejuvenation of the island’s tourist business.
