James Wood - (Walter's Twin Brother)

WHEN WALTER JOINED THE HIGHWAY PATROL I JOINED THE POLICE FORCE IN ABILENE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT HIRE BROTHERS. AFTER SOME TWO YEARS ON THE FORCE, OUR YOUNGER BROTHER TOMMY CAME HOME FROM THE MARINES. BOTH OF US DECIDED TO TAKE THE TEST FOR THE HIGHWAY PATROL AND WE BOTH PASSED AND WENT THROUGH THE DPS ACADEMY IN AUSTIN TOGETHER.

WHEN WE GRADUATED I WAS STATIONED IN ABILENE AND TOMMY WAS SENT TO HASKELL. AT THAT TIME WALTER WAS STATIONED IN COTULLA TEXAS NEAR LAREDO. HE WAS LATER TRANSFERRED TO ROBY. THE PEOPLE IN THAT PART OF TEXAS WAS SURROUNDED BY THE WOOD BROTHERS, HA!

WALTER WAS A VERY GOOD MAN AND OFFICER. HE NEVER MISTREATED ANYONE IN HIS LIFE AND NEITHER DID TOMMY OR MYSELF. WE WERE GOOD PATROLMEN. SO ANYTHING THAT ANYONE HAS TO SAY ABOUT MY BROTHER HAS GOT TO BE GOOD BECAUSE HE WAS A VERY GOOD MAN AND BROTHER AND I REALLY MISS HIM.

THANKS TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WROTE THOSE NICE THINGS ABOUT HIM. BY THE WAY, TOMMY HAS ALSO PASSED FROM THIS WORLD AND I MISS MY BROTHERS SO VERY MUCH, BUT I WILL SEE THEM AGAIN ONE DAY.

THANKS AGAIN AND GOD BLESS.
