Dale and Grace came along around the same time Mickey and Sylvia did, as well as Paul and Paula.


I have noticed lately the similarity between the voice's of Grace and Paula *who were actually named Larry and Jill. Listening to oldies now I see a lot of voices that sound the same.

I was honored to be Dale Houston's *who was Sam Houston's direct decent* last manager until his death on Sept. 27, 2007. I will love him as my special friend, confidant and all round great guy. He was humble and loved each and every fan and very close to God in his life. Thank you Alex for having this beautiful and informative forum.
