I recently traveled through Lockhart, Texas in early May, 2013. And as I backtracked through many memories of my time spent there, in 1970-71, I recalled this Wonderfully Kind and Christian Family. I knew Robert the best, because we played guitars together. I also remember his sister Judy. I was introduced to this Gracious Family, by Reverend Ernest V. May. I attended the First Lockhart Baptist Church, also. I moved into San Marcos, in the Fall of 1971, but I NEVER SHALL FORGET how Blessed I felt, from having known the Posey Family and Reverend and Mrs. Tommie May. They will forever have a Special Place in my Heart and Mind. May Mr. and Mrs. Posey enjoy the Wonders of Heaven and may their surviving Family Members be Blessed All of the Days of their Lives.
