I received the following email from Billy Byrd’s granddaughter a few weeks back:

Hello Mr. Thomas,my name is Billi Jean Rayner. My grandfather was Billy Byrd. I am sure you remember him. I am writing to ask about your website. Jim Pearson told me about it and gave me the email address. What I was wanting to know is if there are any pictures or articles about my grandfather on this site.If there are not,could you tell me where to find some? I really do not have much of a collection,I am trying to start one. I am very proud of my grandfather and feel so blessed to have been named after him and my grandmother. I hope to hear back from you when you can. Thanks in advance.

If you have any information about Billi Byrd you can send to his granddaughter, I invite and encourage you to do so.  Her email address is billirayner@hotmail.com.
