Jr was a dear friend of mine as was his brother Bob. We shared a lot time together after high school around Ft Smith. I lost touch with both Jr and his brother Bob as I was drafted into the army in 1967 and was slated for Vietnam. I never came back to Ft Smith after my tour of duty and resided in the Wash. DC area. I remember that Bob was an aspiring writer and hope he continued his aspirations.
