From Bob Marwill about ANN HEREFORD: for those of you who knew Ann Hereford, her obit was in the paper last Tuesday or Wednesday. She was with some of us at Bradfield, and maybe at HPJHS, before transferring to, and graduating from Hockaday. She lived somewhere else, Florida I believe, when she died. The photo of her in the paper was beautiful, and the obit was very interesting in that two of her grandparents were descendants of prominent early Texas founders, people we studied about in 7th grade Texas history. I remember Ann from 60+ years ago, and felt sadness at reading of her death. (January 24, 2010)
