Treva, we are so sorry to hear about Bob´s passing. Michael had dinner with Tammy while he was in North Carolina last week. He had a wonderful visit with Tammy. Our hearts and love are with you at this time.

Hi Treva, I am so sorry for your losses, both Bob and Glen. I was unable to attend Glen's recent funeral, so I was in the process of trying to send the family a sympathy card when I discovered Bob's obit. I actually met and talked to Glen a few years ago when I was in McAlester for a high school class reunion. I called Glen and asked him to escort Coach Brumley to our 50th Reunion. He was kind enough to do so. I was the Master of Ceremonies for the Reunion, so I used the occasion to acknowledge Glen and his greatness. I told my former classmates that my big brother used to take me to see Glen play sports when I was in Jr HS. I said: "I was very impressed with Glen, but not nearly as impressed as I was with his sister, Treva!!" Everone got a big laugh!

Treva, I would love to get in touch with you. I recall the last time I saw you was at a Dairy Queen in Shawnee, OK, in 1958. I was there with a couple of my HS buddies to visit with a couple of Shawnee HS athletes. My phone number is 817-706-3329 and my email is [email protected]. Please respond!!!
