Your father lived at my Grandmother's home in Lubbock while attending Texas Tech. Her name was Mary Neathery. Your Dad was a friend of my Mother (Blandina Neathery Trojan), Uncle Sam Neathery and cousin Sam Bejach while at Texas Tech. My Mother was also a member of Sans Souci with your Mother. I was born in 1940 in Lubbock, graduated from Tech and now reside in Dallas. My sister lives in Houston. She shared the passing of your Dad. My Mother passed away in 1985 and my Uncle passed away...
