Thank you for the information. Dick Sparkman...
I came across you Web site totally by accident. I lived near Sparkman's garage in Pecos, Texas for a while. As a matter of fact, my father operated a filling station next door. Trey Esparza, who was one of the best friends I ever had, is pictured in one of your old photographs. I distinctly remember the Sparkman boys tearing up and down the street in their hotrods (Chevy Nova...or was it a Chevelle). God bless all of you!
MY DEAREST BROTHER HOPE LIFE IS TREATING YOU WITH THE GREAT KINDNEST YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DESERVES.ALL OF THE JIM SPARKMAN FAMILY LIVING IN ALABAMA ARE DOING FINE.

I loved your website!!!! You have accumulated a lot of information. Thanks for sharing. I had always heard that I/we were related to the former U.S. Senator and Vice Presidential candidate but I never new how. (I think I saw that he is the great grandson of Thomas Bryant Sparkman 1803-1872). Squire George is my great-great-great grandfather. My father grew up and white county. The last couple of years I have gone to the family reunion at Camp Clements in Van Buren County. We visited some of the old graveyards in the area. It is remarkable the amount of information that is available. If you have any, could I burden you for copies of some of the information from John Sparkman, or William? Those last will and testaments are interesting. Again, thanks for sharing!!!! Name: Jon Sparkman Email: jasead9871@yahoo.com Address: Cleveland, Tennessee Category: Web site

While doing a Google search on "Pyote Air Base" I came across your website. My father-in-law and his brother, Don and Leon Dulin, lived at Pyote with their Dad...a Civilian contractor during the years that, apparently, Mr. Sparkman did. Mid to late 40's. Don graduated from Pyote High School. We all still live in West Texas.... Don, my Father in law, still goes to the Pyote HS reunion.....along with the 4 others from his class!! Here's something I wrote today on my daily Blog [website]....please feel free to leave a comment........ http://www.biggolddog.com/2005_03_01_streamarch#111107810599051577 If you'd like to get in touch with Don Dulin his email address is: PDulin3508@aol.com Wallace Craig, Midland "The average dog is a nicer person, than the average person" http://www.biggolddog.com

My father, James Edward Rivers was an aircraft machinist at Pyote Rattlesnake Bomber Base during this period. My parents divorced in 1950, dad left, but my mother Mildred P. Rivers and my brother, James Ju'Ward Rivers and I remained there until Dec 1953 final deactivation date. Mother was a master parachute rigger there; she transferred to Fort Hood Army Base from Pyote, and remained in active status until 1981. She is 88 years of age, living here in Llano near me. My brother is living in Ohio. He just spent a week with us, after attending the class of 1955 MHS reunion. Those are wonderful memories and we kids did not realize that we were a part of such important history!! I remember that about 6 of us signed off on the Enola Gay as we closed down the base. Of course, alll that was erased with the paintovers, etc. Address: Llano, Texas Category: Web site Name: Ma'Joyce River Swope Email: mjs@centex.net
