I first met Ricky back in 1981 when Jane Ann and I taught school together at Harby Junior High in Alvin. The two of them were so much fun to be with, and I have great memories of our lunches and dinners together through the years. Ricky could always make Jane Ann laugh and he made me laugh too! Iām glad he never lost that accent, and I will miss hearing his stories and his opinions! To this day, Jane Ann remains one of my closest and dearest friends! All my love to Jane Ann and the Quevedo family…š
