I MOVED TO Wichita Falls IN THE 5TH GRADE AND BILLY WAS MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR AND BEST FRIEND FROM THEN UNTIL I WAS IN THE 11TH GRADE WHEN MY FAMILY MOVED TO AMARILLO. BILLY AND I CAMPED OUT IN OUR BACK YARDS, PLAYED BASEBALL ON THE BLUE DEVILS HAD TO WATCH HIM CONSTANTLY BOUNCING SOME KIND OF BALL WE HAD A GOAL AND A SMALL PATIO ON THE BACK OF OUR HOUSE WE BOTH LIKED FISHING AND WOULD GO TO THE IRRIGATION DITCH AND FISH. BUT WHAT I APPRECIATED MOST ABOUT BEING BILLYS NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR WAS HE TOOK ME WITH HIM TO Sunday school AND CHURCH AND MYF WHICH WAS A BIG CHANGE IN MY LIFE THANK YOU BILLY YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE AT A TIME THAT I HAD BEEN GOING A LITTLE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
