We have a new author in the Vick family. Bill Mays (son of Mary Vick Mays; greatgrandson of Samuel and Drucilla Neal Vick of Russellville AR and Lebanon TN) has penned the tome "Behind the Scenes in Hospitals: Life and Times of Bill Mays". The book in the words of Alan Peppard of the Dallas Morning News (3/6/2000): "....is a look back at his 45 years as a hospital administrator, the last 25 at Presbyterian. As a community-relations specialist for Presby, he is the friendly face whom much of Dallas has come to depend on when they check into the hospital on Walnut Hill Lane. In his book, he recounts his dealings with famous and not-so-famous patients such as actress Greer Garson (she spent the last three years of her life in a ninth-floor suite at Presbyterian) and members of Dallas Perot, Zale, Wynne, Murchison, Thompson and Cox families. You can get your copy by calling Bill's office at 214-345-7065." I understand from another local cousin who attended the book signing party that the proceeds of sales will go to charity. suzanne g
