The three couples with whom James and I had been friends—the Ezells, the Beards, and the Kellams—were wonderful to the children and me when we were living alone. All of us were and are still great friends. Those of us who are still living! They included us in everything and looked after us in every way.The Beards took us to Dottie's fathers ranch in the Hill Country in the summer. They took me with them to the TCU games some. Kenneth Kellam always had tickets to games. His wife Mary wouldn't go because she had a phobia about crowds that James had helped her with.
Kenneth took his young son Ken and Carolyn and me to a TCU game in Waco once and we ate at the new Fried Chicken place there on the way home to some. Leslie's Chicken Shack was the first fried chicken place I ever saw. He also took Ken, Carolyn, and me to Dallas Texans football games in the Cotton Bowl.
