  3. Jimmy and Lois I guess were the first folks I ever met that I remember. Their daughter Debbie would baby sit me and my sister. My dad thought an awful lot of this man. We would walk across the street and feed his trout. I got to see him last year and was so glad. May you rest easy, shoot straight, and tell my dad I love him and miss him. You two have a lot of catching up to do. Lois, my prayers are with you and the family and I sure wish I could be there to give you a hug. I love y’all. Mike Chapman.
