Dear Bob:
You are doing a thankless job for the
rest of us ’24 men, and I am sure they
will all join me in expressing our thanks
for the job you are doing so well.
Being lazy is the only reason I have
for not having written sooner. I am, as
always, in the sheep and goat ranching
business some 45 miles north of Del Rio.
I have been married 14 years, and we have
four children, three boys and a girl. The
oldest, a boy, is about 30 pounds heavier
than his Pa was when we first met in
1920. I am living alone on the ranch, as
the family live in town during the school
term.
Nothing very exciting has happened
to me since 1920, except the every-day
routine of trying to keep my head above
water. Served one year as president of the
Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers Association,
and have been a member of the State Soil
Conservation Board since it was set up
in 1939.
See J. V. “Gap” Drisdale quite often.
He lives in Del Rio, still ranching, too.
Also J. F. Baker, who is living in San
Angelo operating a wool warehouse there.
Come out to see me sometime.
Regards,
Pee; Wee”
