Billy Rex was my cousin. Though he was older, he always took time for me and made me feel special. I’ll never forget the time Aunt Madge and Uncle Rex took me to visit Billy Rex and Diane. I had never been that far from home, and I was a brat about trying new food, but Bill and Diane had patience. I tried it and it was delicious– chicken and rice!!
Thanks for the memories!
