    • RICHISON - Correspondence: 20 [a letter to Frank Vaughn Richison from Shirley Richison Fields, 24 Nov 1991]

      Joyce's mother-in-law also said that one of Joyce's brothers died about a month or so ago in Atlanta, GA. She said something about him having had open heart surgery before his death. I don't know which brother it was but I've asked Joyce to write and give me the information.
