I never met Scott Fikes, but he must have been a family loving man. He took the time and patience to research the Fikes Family. My mother, Iva Mae Fikes Gober, received a notice about the book, but she did not order the book. I have seen a copy at Troy Fikes home. I loved the gardens in Ft. Worth. God Bless You!Yvonne Gober Cook
