Tammy, since I'm being exposed to the world also, ha, will say thanks to you
for sharing your bio with all us who have come to care for and respect you
so for all that you do, in the background!!??
How in the world did you recognize a Walker?? You musta looked over his
shoulder,ha.
I'm copying and pasting to this response what I sent to Lisa on her McDade
website..Keep up the wonderful work you do, ladies!!
*************

Gee, Lisa and Tammy!! I'm extremely honored to be mentioned in your
reports..Thank you..I'm assuming you, Lisa, came during all the ice when I
was iced in for two days??
I think both you girls look very young and lovely..Thanks, Tammy, for
letting the rest of your cyber "world" know how we might recognize the two
of you if we happen to meet in the courthouse of Bastrop, or elsewhere!! I'm
impressed..
Just for the record, I was in the courthouse of Bastrop last month with a
friend and found, to my joy, how extremely helpful and courteous the folks
were who work in the clerks office..they led my friend through a tangle of
possibles and "voila" we were able to find the thread needed to actually
locate, that day, in the flesh, the person to provide complete closure
regarding the death of a dear friend in a very "live" visit..so my hat's off
to the folks there..made me remember so well the time I met Tammy's father
there and the way he just jumped right in and led me to a treasure I could
barely believe existed..sorry but I can't remember your Dad's first name,
Tammy??
Enough, so happy you guys were able to connect and have so much fun..really
sorry I was not the "gentleman" Walker you two met there, ha.
Keep up the great work you both do, there are those of us who follow you
guys much closer than you might realize..think of the ones who might be
shut-ins whose day you brighten!!
My very Best,
Ed Walker
