Danny L. Mason Sr.

Danny l. Mason, Sr., born November 12, 1948. Parents were Joley G. Mason, Sr., and Lenora Mason in San Antonio, Texas.
Growing up Danny had a passion for dogs and got a dog name Patsy. Danny's love for dogs continued as he grew up. He also love tending to the cows at his parent ranch.

Danny attended Dunbar JHS, Brackenridge HS, St. Phillips Junior College and Texas State University. Danny was drafted into the Army (Big Red One, 1st Infantry) and served in the Navy Reserves before graduating from Texas State University. While at St. Phillips Danny sung with the Walker Ford gospel singers under the directions of Oscar Ford, who is currently a member of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church. Danny had a beautiful deep voice and could play the trumpet too. In college Danny was also active in the Black Student Union. In those day (60s) segregation and the Jim Crow Law was prevalent in the South and all over the US.
After the college days and serving in the US Army Navy Reserves, Danny had several jobs, some of which were, Turbine, CPS and landed a good job with Fort Sam as an electrician and Kelly AFB as an electrical foreman. Afterwards, he work for the Housing Authority then later retired.
Danny worked hard and played even harder. If he wasn't at his favorite spot, Tuckers', then you could find him in the country tending to the ranch. He loved to tend to the cows then lay down on the back of his truck and look at the stars gleaming in the sky.
