My father Ralph Ward (Pete) Hixson was the local veterinarian...large and small animal practice...and my mother Glenna Opal Griffin Hixson worked at the local library. I had two brothers, one died in infancy, and my other brother lives in Leavenworth, Kansas.

I think my dad worked in Youngstown for a little bit. He was Welsh. I mentioned this to your mom once...she kinda just missed it.
