  Dear Elenor & family,
  I have tried your phone number many times & get a busy signal.
  Bob & I graduated from Palacios high school in 1953. He & I were roommates at Texas A & M two years. We both were from Palacios and would drive my car home one weekend & his the next. We were good friends. He will be missed!
