Paulie Gaido – the Battle of Galveston
Friday, Feb. 6, 2026
Noon - Lower Eaton Hall
"I have always had a deep and abiding interest in the history of Galveston and the Civil War. In my view, what came to be known as the Battle of Galveston not only was the most important naval battle of the War, but arguably one of the greatest "David against Goliath" improbable victories in the entire history of naval warfare. The indisputable heroism and utter audacity of the officers and men of, what can only be sympathetically described as, the Confederate Navy, we movie-goers associate with the likes of Indiana Jones and Errol Flynn, but it is history, not fantasy, and it unfolded in our backyard." – Paulie Gaido
The Trinity First Friday Lunch and Learn is a free event with a complimentary light lunch. Please reserve your spot so that we may plan appropriately for our meal.
