How about the people who sent my dad these two final items?

My computer is messed up and I can only see half your question. I think you are asking about Jackie and Bill. Bill was on the Schell Bros advance when he joined Jackie out. She had been a practical nurse prior to that as I recall.

They were on several advances including Cole Bros, Seal Bros and Wallace and Clark and eventually settled on Cole and Walters where they spent several years.

I believe the last time Bill was out was about 1963. Jackie continued billing with Carson and Barnes and then Sells and Gray and later worked press for the Hanneford show when Bill English was a partner in that enterprise.

They lived in Hot Springs and Bill died in the VA Hospital in North Little Rock in the early or mid 1970s. I don't think he ever called me anything but "Kid."

The last time we saw Jackie was when she came by to see us in about 1980 at which time she was working press on another Bill English show- possibly one of the Phillip Morris units.

Jackie had a long battle with alcohol and was proud of joining AA and staying dry the last ten or so years of her life.

Bill English told me a couple of years before his death that Jackie had died several years earlier. She had some great old stories and Mary Jane and I always enjoyed listening to her talk.
