Mike King and his parents moved into our neighborhood around 1951-1952. We played cowboys all the time along with my sister, Linda. On hot summer days his mother would let us come into their screened porch to stay cool. They got a TV set in 1951 and we watched Howdy Doody, Kukla, Fran & Ollie plus early children's programs of that era. Mike was a very smart "kid" those days. He was adopted by his parents and my sister and I were the first kids he interacted with according to his mother. I was 3 years older than Mike, but that didn't matter, we still had fun doing kid stuff. RIP my friend Mike! Jon Patterson-Tomball, TX
