You girls won't remember us, but Johnny and your dad were first cousins. Johnny Walker, in Missouri. Your dad lived with them until he graduated, after his folks moved to Tucson. I remember the story of your dad driving off in an old car...and his Uncle Fred telling him he would be okay, if he would just drive slowly. He made it okay. Johnny and I moved to Tucson in 1959 and your mom and I were both pregnant at the same time. We loved both of them, and remember all you girls. By the way....we also have four daughters! Condolences and love to you girls. Your dad was great.
