Other Comments:

We live on a 15 acre horse ranch near Haslet Texas, we also have more acreage in Parker County.  I have six kids, 10 grandkids and 11 great-grandkids. Thank God for family. We are and have always been Texans. My Great-Great-Granduncle, William P. King died at the Alamo on March 6 1836. I come from a long line of Warriors. Both my parents served in WW-II, my late Dad served in the Texas 12th Armored Division, ETO, and my late Mom was a Navy WAVES Aviator and flew the Pacific Ocean doing weather recon. I have many other family members who served this great country, ever since the Revolutionary War.
