My sympathies to Weldon's family and all who knew him. I saw him perform many many times at the magnificent Palace Paramount-Publix #1 theater organ in the Palace Theater. Also wrote about him in my book "Street of Dreams, A History of Dallas' Theatre Row" published in 2003 which quickly sold out. Also wrote about him and Mary in other articles. I'll miss him and his wonderful music. Love to Mary and family. Jeanette Howeth Crumpler
