  9. I first met Jr when i moved to Poly (ft Worth) in 1962. His family lived across from us on Hughes st. I got to know him
    and his family very well in those early yrs. I remember when he ran for Cheer leader at Poly HS and won. I lost track of him when i went into the Marines in 67. The last time i saw him was in 2004 at a Poly HS reunion. We picked up like we had never been apart. I got an email yesterday about the 50th Poly HS reunion and did not see his name listed, that’s why i’m here today. Thoa it has almost been 2 yrs since his passing my he Rest in Peace. My prayers are with his
    family. May God Bless.
