I remember coming back to Carrollton after my second divorce and of course, I needed help from the Welfare Department. At one point I had a bad tooth and asked my case worker if I could see a dentist and was told no, they did not pay for dentist work. I called a few days later in horrible pain and asked for Bob, explained the situation. He didn't even mute the phone. I heard him yell, "Who told this woman we don't cover dentist work? Get her a paper now!" And, I got my tooth fixed...I've never forgot it and I'm 60 years old. You have my sympathy..my father and your Dad were good "buds" in all their VFW and club doings......I sure miss mine...
