Kathryn, Bobby, Johnny and family, Sorry for your loss. I am glad I got to talk to Bob (and Kathryn)few days ago, first time in many years. Bob found me a summer job in Baton Rouge in 1960 at an asphalt plant that paid $1.00/hr (went to work @ 4 AM). That was big money$$$ for me fresh off the farm in Coffeeville Miss. That job was the first step on my life's career ladder.
May God give you peace in this time of sorrow,
Dale and Tonie Thornton, Chattanooga, TN. (and Coffeeville, MS.)
