 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO...

Marla Lee Hicks 1973

This is her current Facebook profile pic.

Marla Lee Hicks is the daughter of Clint and Janice Hicks.

Clint Hicks is the son of Olan and Barbara Hicks.

Olan Hicks was the brother of my grandmother, Cleffie Hicks Burford.

(That makes Marla my second cousin. I think.)

Clint and Janice have four children: Marla, Aimee, Matthew, and Carrie.

Clint and his daughters have made several recorded CDs. As with most of the family members on my mother's side of the family, they are all good musicians. Unfortunately, Clint's CDs are not available on iTunes. I have a couple of them, but I wish I had them all.

It's been a while since they posted, but they do have a Facebook page -- Hicks Family Music.
