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.
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.
