Four super grandchildren -- Austin (19), Nicole (17), Christian (16), and Charlie (12). We've lived in Grand Prairie since 1970, and also have a vacation home on the Guadalupe River just outside New Braunfels.

We love to travel, and try to get in several "fun" trips every year. Graduated from Baylor on 1961, and went into the real estate business in 1970. I am currently the owner and Broker of White and Associates Real Estate Services in Grand Prairie. Judy is our bookkeeper and marketing department, and our two sons and I list and sell real estate, manage about 140 properties, and keep up with our own investments. I've twice been president of the Grand Prairie Board of Realtors, and have earned the designations of Graduate, Realtors Institute and Certified Residential Specialist. I'm also an active member of the National Association of Residential Property Managers. Served for six years as a member of the Grand Prairie ISD school board. I love working in the community, and have been honored to be named both "Citizen of the Year" and "Business Man of the Year" (Zeus Award) by the local Chamber of Commerce.

Hi Cliff... Johnny Henson here from '58. I noticed you carry Doug Willman as a lost classmate, however the class of '58 has him on their roster. He missed graduation with the rest of the class and had to attend summer school so maybe that's why all the confusion. He lives in Mason, Tx, having retired as Police Chief of the Wickenberg, AZ police department a few years ago. If you need contact info let me know and I'll put you in touch.
