Cynthia & I knew each other from University of Houston . We followed the University of Houston football team around for "away"games. Darrell would drive a VW Beatle and would you believe 5 of us rode in that car ( we were all skinny then) - this was in the 1960´s.
Rita, her cousin was there too. I was scrolling trying to find old friends and I came across this notice. I´m sorry we never kept up. I knew "Andy" her deceased husband too.
We had fun times at U of H.
