Nice to meet you also.
Loucrecia, I hope she's doing well. Tell her hi for me.Your mom has some of the best information, because it starts in Oklahoma. I was born in Calif. after the war. There is a nice story: when Dad discharded from the army he went home to Oklahoma and finds out Granny and Grandpa are in Calif. He was thrilled. Calif. is a big state. Granny and Grandpa were living in a tent in Fowler Calif. address unknown and that's where our story begins.
Sorry and sad to hear about Bobo. The last time I saw Bobo was with Uncle Harland. Harland was having an auction at one of the mini storages in Fresno. And Bobo and a friend came by and there was this thing they were going to auction off. Bobo asked," What is that?" All I said was," It looks like a nose-bag for a camel." Bobo laughed because he didn't know what it was either. That's been years ago. Bobo could play a steel guitar. He was quite the athlete in school. And the girls really liked him. He could really dance. I learned this about Bobo out away from the family. During his divorce from Corky I ran into him at a bar with music and dancing. Where we talked and caught up on things. I don't know if anyone else knows of the bars, but he had a rough time with the divorce.The same thing happened to me but I did not know how to play music or dance. I would like to know what he died from, because he's not much older than me.
Uncle Harland died from something they never could identify. My Dad died of COPD.
Grandpa Danner died from a broken heart or old age. Bryan, Grandpa Danner took me to court hundreds of times to listen to the lawyers and judges so that I would know when a story is told twice it's no longer a fact. Bryan, if there is anything I have learned it's life is more story than fact. Genealogy is hard and I will keep in touch.

pyrodad= I like to celebrate our 4th of July on a grand scale. So, my daughter wanted to know if I was a Pyro. So, I'm her dad and I'm Pyrodad.
I have Grandpa's discharge papers from the Army if you want a copy. I'll send Nancy's Geneology website when I find it.

P.S. I've just realized that Loucrecia is the oldest living female in my generation. And now I know I'm the oldest living male in my generation. I'm 62.
