Hi, Lonnie-- I assume that you're talking about William (Billy) Montgomery? William is still alive and relatively active. He is the youngest son of Seaborn C. and Bessie Boswell Montgomery. All the other children are gone. (William is my first cousin once removed.) I tell you what. It feels like old home week.
