I lived next to Mr. Russell for a few short years in Dallas and he made such an impact on my life we named our son after him, Vaughan X. Rice. I never told Mr. Russell. I am very sad i did not. I hope he knows what an impact he has made on my life. May everyone follow in his kind footsteps. Love you Mr. Russell. Sarah, Jon, and Vaughan Rice.
