Recollections
Pete Motley
from correspondence with his daughter, Donna Motley Kropp
"My father, Pete Motley was in the explosion. He apparently located his older brother Ray who was also in the junior high school. The family story that was told to me was that my father saved his brother's life. My dad attended a number of the reunions held during the 80's and 90's, but he is currently living in a nursing home in Tyler and won't be able to attend any further. I have heard many stories about the school explosion as my grandparents were living at the Humble camp in the area. I also have a picture of the school following the explosion that doesn't look like anything posted here."
