Her daddy, Harry, worked for Pittsburg Glass, and started City Glass company on North May, OKC in 1975. Harry took his lunch everyday and saved his dessert, hidden in his lunchbox for Judy and her brothers as they would run to meet him and rummage through to find a twinkie or ding dong. Her mama, Alta, was a housewife and didn’t learn to drive until Judy was in the 4th grade, “Ma” as Alta was called, had to learn to drive because the family loaded up in the ’56 Chevy and trailer and went harvesting and working the fields during her 3rd and 4th grade summers.
