Bobbie's memorial service was held July 26, 2003 at St John's Episcopal Church  in LaPorte, Texas with a reception following the service at the Houston Yacht Club.

With a gathering of friends and family, aboard the Zsa Zsa and the Retreat, her ashes were committed to Galveston Bay to join Ken in watching over the bay.

Obituary:  The Houston Chronicle, Friday July 18, 2003

October, 1988.  At  about 70 yrs, getting in shape to
pack into the Grand Canyon.

As this page will always be in progress, check back for updates.

As I sort through Mama's photographs I am struck by the fact that she is well documented across her nearly 87 years.  Her dad was a keen photographer, taking pictures from the very beginning.  There was always a camera in the house and an interest and love of photography was planted in all of us.  There are a whole lot of pictures--of friends (ours as well as Bobbie and Ken's), and of places where we have all shared some pretty good times.  I know I learned how to party from them.

I will post pictures as I am able to sort through them and get them scanned.     --Doug
