I grew up in Mesquite, TX in the 60’s with the Anderson family as our neighbors. My four siblings and I were friends with Johnny, Janet and Robin – part of our neighborhood pack of kids that played until the streetlight came on. John, Delores and the kids were good people. Those were great times and fond memories now.
