HE COMES NORTH ABOUT EVERY 2-3 YRS. TO VISIT HIS PARENTS. HIS LAST VISIT WAS IN OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR. INADVERTANTLY, I LEARNED HE WAS CARRYING (IN A CASE) A LARGE NUMBER OF $20 BILLS! THE TEXAS HOUSE IN WHICH HE NOW LIVES HAS BEEN NEWLY CONSTRUCTED WITHIN THE LAST 3-4 YEARS. FROM THE BLUEPRINTS SHOWN US AND PICTURES OF THE LANDSCAPING THE COST MUST HAVE BEEN WELL INTO SIX FIGURES.
