Larry, I can certainly back you up on what you said about Mary. Back in the '80's, I received a few letters from her myself. I also spoke to her on the phone a few times. In fact, the second time I called her, she even remembered my full name, which I thought was very nice. One time, I ordered a copy of the "A Touch Of Velvet" LP that she had for sale in the Jim Reeves Museum gift shop. As it turned out, there were no more copies available when she received my order, but she ended up sending me one of her own personal copies of the LP so I wouldn't be dissapointed. She sent a very nice letter along with the album and I still have them both. From what I've experienced with Mary, I would say she really appreciated Jim's fans and treated them kindly.
