Denise and Family: My deepest feelings of sympathy for all of you. I have many fond memories of Alvis Kent (or Tiny as we knew him in our younger years) at the Ranch in Eldorado when all of the cousins gathered for many happy occasions.

I met Mr. Waldrep while working with Kent, Joe Nichols and the Texas Jaycees, on paralysis fundraising in the mid-1980's. My condolences to the entire family, on Mr. Waldrep's passing. I would love to correspond with Kent and reminisce a little about the fun times we had, please ask him to e-mail me when possible.
