Comments  from Robert Wallaces sister  Kaye (Wallace) Bandy:

His Mother (Thelma Wallace Brown) is still living and is living with his sister Kaye Bandy in Kimberling City, Mo. She will be 95 years old Nov. 27th of this month. She is in good heath but is almost blind.

His father      (Robert W. Wallace) died of brain   cancer in 1988.

I used to get upset with Robert Leon because he wouldn't do my homework for me.  I mean after all he was smart.

I have a lot of respect for the class of 1959 and how they handle their Class Reunion information.  I had a stroke in July this year and am going to speech therapy my homework was to read out loud.  I chose one of the Class of 1959  35th class reunion book to read from to my mother.

It is really nice to be able to reach out to members in this manner.

Sincerly  Kaye (Wallace)Bandy
