Fred Wondell and I were the youngest members of the old Dallas Motorcycle Club. We knew the Parkers there and visited them in Ore City. Thelma was a wonderful person and I'm glad to have known her.##imported-begin##Charles Busbee##imported-end##
The first time I met her, Vic & I had dinner with her & Uncle Jim. I offered to help with the dishes and I scraped all the leftover food in the sink thinking she had a disposal. What a surprise when the sink backed up and nearly spilled over onto the floor. She was gracious enough not to say anything. We cleaned up the mess together after a good laugh.
I only knew her a fraction of her lengthly life but what a truly remarkable, elegant and classic she was. She will be missed. What a great Christmas present for Uncle Jim!##imported-begin##CONNIE PARKER##imported-end##
