MOTHER OF YEAR
(Continued from Page 1)
During the spring semester, I had
a gym accident in which my neck
was broken. I was rushed to the
hospital in Houston and my par
ents arrived soon afterward.
From that time on Mom was
never much farther away than
she could hear me call, and for
a long time that was barely
across the room. She slept folded
up in a chair or on the floor—
if she slept at all—in the room
with me. I don’t think she ever
saw a bed except mine for almost
18 months. She was by far the
best nurse I had. Finally, when
I was able to go home, she and
Dad took care of me.
“A little over two years after
my accident I got a chance to
start back to school at Tarleton
State College. I was in a wheel
chair and up until that time
there was some doubt whether or
not I could carry six semester
hours. The only way I had to go
was for Mom to carry me, so we
drove 60 miles three days a week.
For awhile, we were both ex
hausted but little by little it be
came easier.
“Mom carried me to school for
three semesters and took all my
notes for me. Finally, in the fall
of 1959, I decided that I was in
good enough health to try to
Come back to A&M. Again, the
only way I could come was for
Mom to come with me.
“Then, on the day before
Thanksgiving, my Dad was com
ing to the Bonfire and football
fame and was almost killed in an
automobile accident. Mom almost
cracked up.
‘But whatever she is made of
just bends, not breaks.
“While Dad was so bad we
stayed at home to be near him.
I was out of school from Thanks
giving until Jan. 4. Dad was still
in poor condition but we came
back and finished the semester.
It looked almost impossible for
me to return the second semester,
because Dad was still in the hos
pital and needed a lot of atten
tion. But both of them would
have it no other way, so I came
back to school. We went home
every weekend and when Dad was
able to get out of the hospital
he came down here with us.
Mom’s hands were just about full.
Dad improved very rapidly and
was able to go back to teaching
school April 2. He went more on
sheer will power than anything
else.
“At last, after three years of
waiting, my fiancee—who is just
as wonderful as Mom and on
whom we leaned very heavily
during our difficulties—and I
were able to get married. This
was April 9, this year. Now Mom
is where she should be, home with
Dad and getting a very well-
deserved rest.
“I believe that you will agree
with me that Mom certainly de
serves the honor and nothing
would please me more than to see
her receive it. It would serve as
a small token of appreciation
from myself for the hardships
that she has undergone for me.
Sincerely,
Bill Curry, ’59”

Humphrey, Kennedy Meet
On TV Debate; No Sparks
By The Associated Press
Sens. Hubert II. Humphrey (D.-
Minn.) arid'John F. Kennedy (D.-
Mass.) met head-on in a television
debate last Wedrteiday night at
Charleston, : W. Va.
The ,two rivals... for. the Demo
cratic presidential nomination pro
duced ho 'sparks, ho fireworks. The
tone was mild apd unbitter.
Humphrey did take issue with
a constant Kennedy refrain—that
Humphrey has - no chance to be
nominated and a vote for him in
West Virginia’s May 10 primary
is wasted.
Asked if he thought he had a
chance, Humphrey said:
“I most surely do.”
He added “No Democrat has this
nomination tied up. If you have
200 convention votes you’re just
as much alive politically as the
man with 500 votes.”
The debate was televised over
a state network, but was seen in
some out-of-state cities.
Vice President Richard M. Nixon,
unopposed for the Republican
presidential nomination, had kind Albany Rockefeller repeated that
words in New York Wednesday for
the man who bowed out of the rage
against him — Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller.
Vs i-Sj’ >"
Nixon told a news canference
Rockefeller has ‘tremendous sup
port throughout the country for
national office among the Republi
cans.” But he begged off on any
direct expression that he wants
Rockefeller for his running mate
and put it up to the governor. In
he won’t accept, the second place
spot. \
There have been reports that
Nixon would like' to have Rocke
feller on the ticket. Nixon’s state
ment Wednesday was viewed in
some quarters as an attempt to
make sure no one would put the
blame at his door if Rockefeller
continued adamant about refusing
the vice presidential nomination.
