Louise was originally from the Denton, TX area and lived there with her two
sons after her divorce to Harry James.  She and Peanuts moved to Denton
about 10 years ago.

When their house burned, Peanuts and Louise moved to Fort Worth and stayed
at her sister's house until their house in Denton was repaired.  Most of the
damage was to the back bedroom where they stored all Peanut's tapes,
records, etc., BUT Peanuts had just got his horns out that evening to clean
so they were saved.

I feel certain now that Louise will sell that house and move in with her
sister who has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's.

Also.... Louise and Peanuts had been married almost 40 years.
