My name is Russell M Pearson, I don't have photos but my dad was good friends with willie and I knew him quite well. My dad and willie use to build and race stock cars at Bowman Gray every Saturday night. My dad and I also lived in your Grandmother's boarding house on Cherry street in Winston Salem. Gail Miller your cousin was a very close friend of mine at the time (1957). Gail called Lillie Essie I taught her how to drive with her very first car even tho she was 5 years older than me. I lost track of her after I joined the army in 1959. Do you have any contact info on Gail? I guess she would be about 76 or 77 now. I would love to talk with her now. Thanks Russell
