Dear John,
It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you. I think it brought him much comfort. Thank you for putting that Air Force article of him on your website. I am going to have a replica made of the painting of his plane to give you. Thank you again for all you have done to honor our dad. Love, The Gillilands

After High school, My Father was in the Army in the 1950’s serving as a photographer. After being honorably discharged, and according to military records, He then Joined the Navy. His first wife was E.J. “Pat” Covington, who, passed away on October 13, 2005, in Fort Worth. Together, they had 4 children before divorcing after 23 years of marriage. Shortly there after, He met his wife, Alpha, who he spent the rest of his days with. They spent somewhere around thirty years in marital bliss. I often wish I had of made the time to get to know Alpha better. I’m glad that he had her to take care of him. I pray the grief is brief and that is able to enjoy the remaining years of her life, may they be many.
In addition, I would like to add that My Aunt Mary, My Dad’s only sister, is Alive and Well and Living in Texas. She isn’t even sick…..
In addition to photographing celebs such as the Texas Rangers, lest us not forget the photos he took while in Korea, in particular, January 24, 1954, when he photographed Miss Marilyn Monroe, Miss Terry Moore and Miss Lilly Christine! Also photographed at the time, was then Vise President Richard Nixon, as he received a key to the City of Seoul, Korea presented to him by the Mayor of Seoul, Korea. These photos I actually have the negatives to. There are so many more spectacular and historical photos taken by him, too many to list. He was a great photographer. To his credit was also a very difficult task he did without complaint, forensic photography. It had to be difficult photographing car accidents and the like.
