In El Campo, Korean War veteran and renowned photographer Grady Allen passed away at 93. Born in 1931, Allen was educated locally and served in the Navy during the Korean Conflict. Post-military, he was a champion calf roper and a self-taught photographer, known for his work in major publications like National Geographic. Allen spent his later years enjoying photography and local events. His legacy lives on through his photos, cherished by his daughter Kappy and the El Campo community. A memorial will be held Friday at the El Campo Livestock Exchange.
