Marty gave a great tribute to Horace. He died right after I graduated. The telephone pole he hit was in the front

yard of an old friend of mine, who was with Horace as he died (broken neck). Horace now has a nephew with the same name living here in Nac. who is in the motorsport business. The summer Horace 

died his dad had him mowing a field with a tractor on one of his farms, and he specifically told Horace to drive the tractor into a dry creek bed when he finished, because if someone could see the tractor unattended they could steal parts off it. Just before Horace finished mowing the tractor motor started smoking, so Horace cut it off, but he had to leave the tractor where it was to avoid further damage. A few minutes later his dad drove by and saw the tractor exactly where he told Horace not to leave it. He got fuming mad....jumped on the tractor and drove it quickly into the dry creek bed which completely burned up the motor.

I too attended Dean's funeral. As I recall Dean had a long hard cancer battle, which ended his wonderful life way to soon.

Jesse Nickerson was truly one of a kind. I met him when he returned to SFA from the military in the late 60's. The last SFA function I remember with him was when we drove his 1967 Mustang to Kansas City for the LumberJack's national basketball tournament. The Jack's were rated #1 in the country, so we drove up and got there just in time to see them lose the semi final game. Never have I driven so far to stay such a short time. We literally drove back the next morning. But I did see my very first .25 coke machine up there. They were only .15 cents in my dad's grocery store. A few months later we graduated and moved to Houston. He was in law school, but he seemed to party much more than he studied. In fact, he married the girl next door (literally)!! The last time I saw him was at one of our reunions a couple of years ago. He was a wonderful guy that will be greatly missed.
