DON AND I GRADUATED TOGETHER FROM W.B.RAY HIGH SCHOOL IN 1958. YEARS LATER WE WERE ON A DEER LEASE TOGETHER IN SOUTH TEXAS. DON WAS A GOOD MAN AND A MAN OF HIS WORD. DON I'LL SEE YOU IN HEAVEN WHEN I GET THERE. GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY.

We were next door friends on Kerry St. we were very close. Bar quest and parties.

Don did some unusual things,, like helping me corner and catch my dog with a skunk,that took us all a smellin'. Then he saved two of my girls off of a neighbors roof..I was pregnant with Charlene. and could not climb up there.

And Don Jr. I will always remember you. Let's just say we called you Dennis the Menace. Your Mom and I had so much fun cooking, and painting our kitchens. I remember her coming over and teaching me the "Watusi" the latest dance.

We were really close, but different things happen in life, like moving away from each other.

Your Dad and my husband were both plumbers.
We had so much in common. Chasing the kids out in Schanen Estates.

My memories of those yrs when we were in our young 20s will never go away. Loved them dearly.
