Wife's Notes...

Notes:
When Billy and Betty were born, the local county clerk or hospital clerk didn't like the names that the twins were given. When the birth record was recorded Billy Jean became Wilma. I always knew her as Billy and until 1993, didn't know that Billy was anything else.
I always enjoyed visiting Billy when I came to town. She always spoke her mind and I think that's what I enjoyed about her the most.
