Lora Hamby Reed

Laura Hamby Reed

Lora, AB’s second daughter, married and had two sons. One was named Ralph Harley, but everyone knew him as Coot, which, of course, is short for Cooter. Lora promised her brother, Doug, that he could name her other son. Doug suggested Homer and Clifton, the names of two good friends he had in Texas. So Lora named him Homer Clifton, but he was always called Dick. She told her brother he could name her son, but she never told him she would call him that!
