Notes:

Dale was funny, talented, and intelligent. He played a harmonica and drums and was good at impersonations. He could build a surfboard or a motorcycle and rode both very well. He got his commercial driver's license at age 18 in a tiny Datsun pickup but could drive dump trucks and other equipment with ease. He had a knack for telling stories in a way that made us roll with laughter. He was a good friend and fierce protector. His first car was a small Simca (look it up) and his first motorcycle was a second-hand Sears 106. He was one of the coolest guys in school.

(Medical):Dale died when he fell from the back of a pick-up truck.

Military:
Dale served at San Diego for bootcamp and then spent the rest of his enlistment in Okinawa.

After growing up in an orphanage, he joined the Army and was stationed in Colorado where he met the love of his life. When his hitch was up, the young couple and their two babies moved back to Texas where they added two more sons and lived the rest of their lives in a small town between Houston and Galveston.

Other Events:

• Occupation: homemaker
• Obituary: 14 Jan 1995, , Galveston, Texas, USA; Galveston Daily News

Notes:

Elaine grew up in Colorado, the eldest of three girls. At the roller rink where she worked, she met and married a young Army private who whisked her 1000 miles away from home to a completely new life.
She raised four boys and a chihuahua named Tinkerbell in a tiny manufactured home that was always clean, currently decorated and a peaceful refuge. Once the family was settled, they began making the two-day drive to Colorado every other year. In off-years, Elaine's parents came to Texas.
She spent much of her time at her dining room table chatting with visitors or on the phone and watching her soaps. The table was the focal point for family and friends and its chairs were seldom empty.
Elaine couldn't drive a car and she swam like a rock but she was a great mom, grandmother and mother-in-law.

Excerpt from WASHINGTON COUNTY COLORADO BOOK 1989--by Arlene Glenn:
West 28 or Pleasant View School was begun in 1909. They first had school in the Jim Williams homestead shack, a two-room sod house, located on the southeast quarter of Section 19. Then Walt Ashby donated the northwest corner of land in Section 19. The school was built there about 1910. The school burned down in 1916 and a new one was erected in 1917. Both East 28 and West 28 schools were closed in 1922 when patrons voted to unite and form one school on the present Lone Star School grounds.
