[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 343188, member: 46"] Gary was born either late 1943 or early 1944. He was 17 when he and Valene got married in 1961, which was also the year when Lucy was born. Gary was conceived before Jock left the US for Britain during WW2. Jock was already in Britain when Gary was born. We know that Ray was born in October 1945, conceived in Europe when Jock was having his affair with Margaret Hunter, a US Army nurse. Margaret went home to Emporia, Kansas and married Amos Krebbs. So for J.R., he got to know his daddy well as a small child when he was taken out to the oil fields up to 1941 or 1942, bonded with him etc., got the letter you mention from Jock. Miss Ellie lamented not holding on to J.R. a bit longer. J.R. wants his daddy home, and has that strong emotional attachment already. For Gary, his earliest years saw him around with his mother a lot and he saw a lot less of his daddy. so his daddy comes across as harsh and brutal at times. For Ray, he arrives at Southfork at age 15 and Jock takes him in, so Ray is extremely grateful and looks up to Jock as a role model. For Bobby, Miss Ellie and Jock both spoil him, and Bobby embraces the good life and the challenges of life, so Bobby has far less baggage than his siblings. [/QUOTE]
