Clare Wood, 1952-2017
One of my oldest, dearest friends, Clare Wood was a cheerleader who had just been crowned Miss 'Roo, homecoming queen of the Killeen (Texas) High School Kangaroos, when I wrote a column about her and her family's friendship with legendary Texas Longhorns football coach Darrell Royal.
She would go on to attend the University of Texas and became a permanent resident of her beloved Austin.
Rest in peace, Clare.
