I haven't done any research but they seem newer than that. <br />It's good you chose to honor and remember Willie with this post. It's so sad he died at such a young age.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-54697828171794641962019-03-10T09:58:31.005-04:002019-03-10T09:58:31.005-04:00We were on the same wavelength, as my bachelor pos...We were on the same wavelength, as my bachelor post was The Unintentional Bachelor.

My mom came from a family of 10 siblings; 4 boys, 6 girls. All got married but one bachelor.
