High scholastic honors run in the family. Jane was valedictorian . of her high school graduating class in Abilene. The Adkins were married in 1945 while Jane was a senior in high school and Bill was stationed at Love Field in the Army. From November until May when Jane graduated the marriage was kept a secret. Their daughter, four years old, thinks “Daddy is just the most wonderful person in the world,” and it doesn't take questions to see that “Daddy” feels the same way about his daughter.
