Not sure what to say?

Although I was not a good high school student, I really enjoyed learning history from Mr. Grover at Lamar High School in Houston.

He was such a great speaker. He loved animals, and had many, and I remember most of all the boxer 'Wolfgang', whom we nieces hated because he...

Uncle Hank was a huge influence and participant in my life growing up in Houston. My love to Aunt Kay and the kids for a very special and unique memory.
