Condolences to Thurman's family. We met in Las Vegas, Las Prados. Such a kind man, we had many conversations on his military service, working for Ma Bell, and his son in Virginia. I know your family will miss him dearly.

I knew Mr. Ballard from Northwestern Bell Telephone Co...the original Ma Bell. I didn't know him well, but would chat once in a while when he would come down to the Service Bureau. Blessings and peace to the family.
