Everyone called him Tex, but is that his real name? I know it is an odd request, but if anyone might have any clue who he is, it would be wonderful! My friend wants to thank him for making such a big imapact on her daughter. <a href="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a161/lyndsayleila/pic1.jpg" target="_blank">http://i11.photobucket.com/alb...pic1.jpg</a>
