I have missed my life in Texas and I still miss him. He was such an interesting man. He wasn’t perfect but, he was himself and he charmed. Thank you for sharing your life with me, Sir.

RIP W. H. Patton (July 16, 1939 – July 21, 2012)

    I loved both those car shots! That pic of him sat in the chair reminded me of Gary Cooper. He certainly had a life well lived

      Thank you.

      I also remember the half-perms that showed up in the early 80s. It was, basically, a mullet haircut with only the back permed. OY.

      Heh. I see your point. A bad hair day is better than a no hair day, any day. 😉
