  13. Grover is a chemical engineer and has lived in Yazoo City, MS, Kansas City and now Houson that I know of and has been involved in middle east business. Maybe someone else can provide a better bio.

  14. Well Betty, WHO IS HE?

  15. Grover is active on the Bearcat email group. He lives, the last I knew of, in Houston and was lucky to have not been damaged by the last major storm that blew ashore there last year.

    That is definitely not him in the photo. The guy has not been ID'd and Betty would like to know who it is....

  16. Re: Betty and ?

    I recall a pair of brothers from Kenosha (I think) who may have been connected with the used car business visiting Baldwyn. This guy looks vaguely like one of them.
    I think the younger of the 2 was killed in a car wreck. Anyone remember them?

  17. They were Russel's and were related to Milton Nanney. One was named Tommy and I can't remember the other one's name.

  18. It was Tommy and Doug Russel and I thought they were cousins. This could be Tommy. Milton Nanney would know if anyone has contact with him.

  19. Don't remember what Tommy looked like that well but, if I could hear him talk, I would know. He talked about 3 times as fast as we did.
