I never met Zeb and that is something I regret. My condolences to his family and friends. I can only think to say, what a life he led.

I also did not know the man but he was NAVY. I was in the Navy but on carriers. Smooth sailing in the big ocean in the sky. It's been a while since I posted.

Best Regards

Thank you for the great salute to my Dad. I am his oldest Daughter (hate that phrase for sure, but I am) and I have so many great stories about the Sam Houston. I loved the "Try Me" slogan and I think that my daughter "Sam" has that jacket of Dads now!
