W. C. "Bill" McGill

"Thank you for writing me back. I had read about your ball-playing grandfather and wondered if he was related to me. I recently found an old letter from 1904 written by W.C. McGill to his sister, my great grandmother, telling of the loss of his wife. It was an incredibly moving letter. Thanks for clearing this up for me.

Here's a strange thing though. Around noon today while I was at work a song stuck in my head and stayed there for several minutes. I hadn't thought of it for months if not years, so imagine my surprise to pull up the 'OkieLegacy' page and read about your grandfather W. J. (McGill) enjoying "Que sera sera"! The song was playing in my noggin about the time you were writing me today. How bizarre.

Thanks again for your help, furniture and McGills seem to go hand in hand in Oklahoma. I've also found some old photos of W C. and Kermit on the beach in California from somewhere around 1920. Nice to put the faces with the names." -- Pete - EMAIL: DLondinium@aol.com
