past cartoonist. my father
August 25, 2004
To Whom this May Concern,
My father attended Villanova between the years of 1948 to 1952, where he graduated. His name is William J.C. Houston aka “tex” , he was a yell leader and the cartoonist for your paper. This things I believe may have not gone unnoticed. I am trying to find copy of his cartoon “Wildcat White” my fathers copies have been lost since he returned from Naval service. I have tried contacting your paper, it has been about a month with no answers or regrets.
The reason for my request is because my father is my hero. He speaks highly of his days at Villanova and I think finding copy of his cartoon would be a great surprize. Yell leaders I think were not too common back then either. He has traveled the world, was a talented aviator, a great father and a amazing husband to my mother. The man is almost 80 years old, works out at the gym 6 days a week and is in the peak of health.
If anyone could help me from your paper it would be an incredibly wonderful thing I could do for my father.
Thank you,Tamara “tex” Houston4465 Pennsylvania Ave.Kansas City MO [email protected]
