I never knew Terry Bright, but knew his Grandfather Rolland and Grandmother Gertrude. Rolland (or Uncle Rollie) was my grandmother's brother. She was Lillian Maud Bright Hite. My mother worked for Uncle Rollie in the bank in Logan and later for his insurance business. He was a well-beloved and respected person around town. Blessings on your family.
