  • Subject: Traweek Family
    I am writing in the hope that you can help me. My name is John Righton and I live in England. I worked for the Traweek family, who lived in Bangs, 20 years ago and I am currently trying to trace them. There were 2 brothers, Larry and Dennis. Both would now be in their mid 50's. They did custom combining working throughout Texas. Their base was their father's (Ray) farm just outside Bangs. I worked with them for 6 months, over the summer of 1984 and very much enjoyed the time that I spent in your town (and my visits to Brownwood lake). If you could help me to trace them in any way I would be very grateful. Yours sincerely, John Righton, March 03, 2005
