I was wondering about Patsy's friend James. Searched and found his obit here

and several photos placed here by his loving family, including this one from 1940

Papa and his horse, at the old Furry homeplace north of lake Brownwood. Circa 1940s
There is even a video. Patsy would love to see her friend and hear his stories.
