Billy Snyder was one of my favorite people, flyer, catcher, bar actor, he had a lot of talent, but what always impressed me was he had the greatest smile I've ever seen, and it was always there. I sold a photo of him & Fay on ebay a couple years ago, and got an email from a friend of his in California who said Billy was alive & well. I hope that is still true.
Wow, the woman in the picture is my real mother and this is only the second picture of her I have ever seen. She is still alive in Lake Whales Florida but we have never met. She was married to Mable Pilla at the time of my birth and my brothers Johnnie and David and my Sister Joanne are all Eldon's kids. Maybe someday we will meet but I live in California, so I am not holding my breath. She is now 78. Michael Pilla
