In Memory Of Jeri A. Bowls November 24, 1965 Joyce M. Mullenix April 4, 1959 We would like to take a moment to remember these four individuals. All four were very active in our community. They were always there playing an important roll. Jeri and Joyce were always at every basketball game yelling for us or telling us how well we played after the game was over. Eddie was very active in farming and he helped our Vocational Ag classes whenever he could. And Kay brought the Dazzlers to us. She also helped us in whatever she could whenever she could. Though their lives were cut short, we will never forget all that they taught us, nor will we forget the moments that were spent with each of these people. They will be in our hearts and minds forever. These four people were killed in the December 14 robbery of the First Bank of Geronimo.

He was also very active in our little league baseball and in all our youth activities. He was a very valuable lifelong resident of Geronimo and he is dearly missed by all. 2
