I moved to Johnson in 1969. I quickly made friends with the McDaniels family. I went from 6th grade through high school with Larry, Garry, and Zora. Larry and Garry where twins, Zora was a year younger. They were in the same grade because Larry and Garry were held back a year.

I was very good friends of all three of the them. Zora joined the Army shortly after High School, he went through paratrooper school and Loved it! He came home on leave and died shortly thereafter from a cerebral hemmorage. He died of an anomoly that claimed the life of his Grandmother Irene Kistler. The Dr.'s said that what he had was an inherited flaw in a blood vessel in his brain. It was the same blood vessel that ruptured and took his Grandmothers' life.

I flew to Oklahoma and attended his funeral in Ralston, OK.

Since that time Garry has also passed away. He died from burns suffered from a hot water heater explosion.

Rest in peace my friends!
