BOBBY AND JOYCE RENEAU
Bobby and Joyce, children of
Mr and Mrs. Robert Reneau, are
•four and three, Joyce having cel-
ebrated her third birthday this
' month with a party at the home
of her grandparents Mr. and
Mrs. J. R. Gammon. Bobby had
• his party in May.
• A negro doll, given to her by
little “Sandy” Sanford, was her
■ prized gift, although a box of
new crayons also held their at-
traction, so much so she painted
' the window with them. After
the results of that experience,
, crayons haven’t been quite as
•much fun.
She has blond-brown hair that
♦ her mother puts into Fnenca
* braids, and big brown eyes that
^ will soon make some little boy*
heart flutter. She talks incessant-
ly. Her ambition—to be a major-
wete. She’s already prancing at
. home.
^ Bobby is also a football fan,
. doesn’t miss a game, and fancies
himself a big blond, blue eyed,
dashing grid hero, well, some-
where in the late 50’s.
Their daddy is a crane opera-
tor at t> and B Emsco, derrick
and equipment company, and
both grandparents live here. Mr.
and Mrs. E. P. Reneau are for-
merly of Collin county but now
have become native Carrollton-
ites.
Heroes—yes, they have them—
five uncles in the service, Le-
' land, George and Jack Reneau
and Alton and Nqrman Gammon.
Small wonder their favorite toys
{are flags and such, these young
j home-front morale builders.
