When Gary's mother married my Dad and he became my brother, he was only 4 years old. He had lived his life in and around San Benito in the Rio Grand Valley. There were very few trees there, so when he saw the 'jungle' between Dayton and Liberty, he just knew that was where TARZAN lived! We shared lots of fun times growing up together. I wish I could be there. I loved him like the little brother he was.
