Subject: To Kelsea, My memories of Sam

I'm glad I finnaly figured out how I could tell Kelsea what her Dad meant to me without getting cut off after 20 words! Your Dad took me under his wing when I was a 16 year old kid. Sam would have been about 21 then. I recorded a song down at Studio B in Corpus and Sam was there a lot recording songs and just about to make it big. I asked Sam to help me on a couple of singles I recorded and he did, for free of course. You gotta remember I didn't have near the talent Sam did! I asked him if I could put his name on my record as the producer because I thought if radio stations saw his name on the single they might listen to it and give it some play. Sam said sure! That was fine. He must have cringed because the songs werent very good and they had his name on them but he did'nt care! He was helping his friend. Well, Sam and I have been friends ever since. I did stand up comedy for years and every time I went to hear him play at the old Rogues Club ot the EEl or wherever he would invite me up to do jokes and play spoons and armpits with the band.I got into radio at age 17 and as a jock got in trouble more than you know for playing Sams songs too much! I moved away for many years but moved back to Corpus in 1994 and remember when you came into this world. My son Zack is just 2 years older than you. You were at his 4th birthday party!! Sam made a Sylvester the Cat hat rack for Zack that we will always have and a boot shaped key holder thats in our entry way. Your pop was like a big brother to me and I think about him every day. I hope to get in touch with your mom soon and next time I'm in Corpus I'm gonna look you both up. I'll always be very proud to have called Sam one of my best buddies, but Sam had a whole lot of buddies because he'd do anything for them and them for him. God took him from us way too early but thank goodness for all the great memories of the gentle man with the incerdible talent. Take care kelsea and give Leslie a hug from us.
Love,
Steve, lorie and Zack Weldon
