As a Cub Scout in Carolyn McKenzie´s pack in FS, we were incentivized to sell raffle tickets by being told someone in your neighborhood would award you with a silver dollar if you knocked on their door. Mr. Card was my neighbor with the silver dollar. I´m old now but remember that. I wanted to be like him when I grew up. Never made it but nonetheless still a goal of mine. God Bless Dennis Card!

I just saw the obituary for Dennis while searching for long, lost friends. A little late, but I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Surprise hearing from an old, old friend. We survived "heppy." I'm glad to see you are still kicking. I hope you are doing well and are happy. Would love to hear from you.

Kyle,
Sorry to hear of your loss. Your Dad was always very kind and friendly with me. I first met him over 40 yrs. ago. When he came to the Dealership in Odessa, he would always say, " I got to hurry and get back, I have a tee time !" May you find peace in knowing that he is resting well and in good hands.
