He had crossed my mind recently since May is coming up and I make my trip to Decatur Co. to put flowers on the family graves. I only met JC once when he attended our reunion. [Buddy Duke's family]we kept in touch by Email and Facebook. I wish we could have shared more family history. My Condolences, Doris Duke Gamez
