Not a photo from one episode of “Spanky and Our Gang”, this shot from my grandmother’s photos is labeled “School Band 1937”. My Dad is in the front, farthest to your left holding the triangle. The triangle? Yep. Percussion was his life. Come to think of it, there are no instruments in view that are not percussion. The tambouriners dominated the sounds of 1937.

My Mom and her Mom in March, 1951 in Ft. Worth, TX. It seldom snows there and if it does, it is always a big deal. Hey Murph. Could that be Frank D. Maynard’s original pith helmet?

From my grandmother’s photos and labeled “Christmas, 1930”, this is my father, B.J. He was three years old. They called him “Billie” and he hated the name. It is a mystery as to why. Do you think he hated his name when he was three? Doubtful.

My parents were married in June, 1952 at University Christian Church at  TCU. I was in Ft. Worth last week with my niece and, as always, the  campus brings back great memories for me. This photo is not one of them  but it is fun anyway. My Uncle Jess looks sideways from the pew (looking  golf-course-tan) as my grandfather walks my mother down the aisle. I am  looking hard here for the joy. Must have been masked by nervousness. I  didn’t arrive on scene for another couple of years. That’s when the real joy began for them all.

My favorite pitcher ever. Saw him pitch in person three times. Smoothest, best lefty ever.

EJ’s great grandfather (my dad) went by BJ. This was taken in 1927 when he was only a few months old.
