I am a native of Navarro County. Born in the community of
Retreat and after living 40 years in the "Metromess" (Dallas-Ft.
Worth area), I am back living in the same house that I grew up
in. I graduated from Corsicana High School in the summer of
1956. I went thru school with the Class of '57, but since I had
gotten married as a junior in high school and needed only one
credit to graduate, I chose to take senior English in summer
school and graduate early, so I could get out into the "real
world" and start earning a living for my young husband; as he was
attending Navarro College at the time. I am, after almost 40
years of marriage, single; having been divorced almost 8 years
ago. I stayed in Dallas for a while, but despaired of the
traffic there and came back "home". I am a member of the Navarro
County Genealogical Society and enjoy that very much.

He was killed in Bryan, Texas on his way home after checking out of A&M. He had arrangements to start his new career in Washington the following week.
