Mrs. Bun, I’ve thought of you often since I graduated Whitehouse High School and left for the Air Force in 1979. Although you had a gruff personality, you were so kind to my family, something often unheard of in a small East Texas town. Being poor black kids, you provided a means for the Williams kids to make spending money. From cleaning your home to raking up the pine needles and cleaning your yard. These odd chores allowed me and my brother Rayburn the opportunities to participate in after school activities. May your spirit and soul soar with the angels.
