About Growing Up In Port Neches: A Collection Of Articles
W. T. Block's second book, "Sapphire City of the Neches," published in 1987, was a formal history of his hometown Port Neches, Texas. W. T. donated the proceeds of that book to the Port Neches library—The Effie & Wilton Hebert Public Library. The city declared January 22, 1987 as "W. T. Block Day." The current book, "Growing Up in Port Neches," is a much less formal book about Port Neches. It is a collection of articles that W. T. wrote over the course of his career. W. T.'s great grandfather settled in Port Neches (Grigsby's Bluff as it was known then) in 1854 which makes W. T. and his siblings fourth generation Port Neches citizens. W. T.'s father and grandfather were farmers in Port Neches and there are a couple of chapters dedicated to biographies of his parents. The articles in this book were written over a period of decades and were published in different forums, so there is a small amount of duplication. The early chapters are historical articles about Port Neches and towards the end of the book, the articles are W. T.'s firsthand experiences while growing up in Port Neches. –William T. Block III, W. T. Block, Jr.'s son–
