RIP Ebby Halliday: A truly amazing lady!

We learned of the passing of Ebby Halliday.....she was 104.....her name was synomous with real estate around here............she was also a great community leader and generous lady......The Dallas Morning News remembers her this way:

"Ebby Halliday Acers was the grand dame of Dallas real estate, a pioneering businesswoman who once said she succeeded by working like a dog and acting like a lady."

We remember Arnold Palmer (1929-2016)

We remember  Arnold Palmer was born on this day in 1929 and passed away in September 2016.   

He was one of the greatest sports figures ever.  

Palmer began his professional career in 1954 and quickly picked up his first PGA Tour win at the 1955 Canadian Open.    

Overall, he won 62 titles on the PGA Tour and 92 including international and senior victories. 

Palmer was the PGA Player of the Year twice (1960 and '62) and the tour's leading money winner four times.

He made golf popular all over.  A really nice man as well.
