Joseph Carl Ross
After his mother's second marriage to Jeff Bob Ross, Joseph changed his last name to his stepfather's last name, Ross. He was born Joseph Carl Espinosa Jr. The attached 1930 Census incorrectly listed family surname as Espinoza with a z. He married my mother, Alberta Louise Chambers on June 13, 1948. My mother was fifteen and a half and Joe was eighteen and a half when they were married. I was born when my mother was only seventeen. They were married for two and a half years. I was ten months old when they were officially divorced. The last time my father visited me was in 1952. My mother said he brought his new wife with him for the visit at my mother's home. My mother said his new wife was very nice and was pregnant. She said Joe was hoping for a boy this time. I had regular visits with my paternal grandmother Pauline who was married to Stan DeLeary at the time. They were very kind. I remember thinking that Stan was tall and handsome. My mother and stepfather moved to California when I was five years old. My mother did not tell Pauline that we had moved. My mother asked her mother, Madelyn Chambers to go to where Pauline worked to tell Pauline that my mother did not have time to contact her before we moved. Pauline was very angry and told my grandmother Madelyn that she would never have anything to do with me in the future. I never saw or heard from grandmother Pauline again. I never saw or heard from my father again. Joseph died of lung cancer.

Robert G. Ross
TRIBUTE TO ROBERT ROSS BY BILLIE BILLING I'm not sure how to do this. My heart broke down when I heard about the sad news. How can I try and describe someone so special in plain old words? And, how can I possibly sum up the feelings and memories I have for Robert Ross in one tribute? It’s almost impossible. I have known Robert for many years through our love of photography. We shared our thoughts on the best film to use and the best chemicals to push the F stops. Those were the years when negative film was king. It became so much easier when digital photography came into being. And we exchanged information on how to protect our work from "collectors". There's no money to be made from pool photographs but it is disheartening when people post your work in books, magazines, posters, flyers, calendars, and whatever without giving credit to the photographer and without asking permission. Robert, you touched the lives of so many people with your beautiful photographs of pool players. That was another love we shared, letting the public recognize the knowns and unknowns of the pool world. Our community has lost one of its brightest lights. Your light shone so brightly that I can’t really believe it’s gone. You touched not only my heart but so many peoples' and left a mark on this world that won’t be forgotten. You have given me so many wonderful memories and I won't ever forget you. May your soul rest in peace, my friend. My thoughts of comfort and condolences to your grieving family, and especially to Deborah, the love of your life. I realize many have seen this selfie of Robert. But I'm posting it again as it is one of my favorites. His use of black and white is indescribably magnificent. - Billie Robert G, Ross was a well-known and extremely talented photographer who specialized in POOL PLAYERS.

From a cookbook compiled by Santa Ynez Valley Presbyterian Ladies Aid; 1947 (Grandma Ross’s church, Solvang, California) Cora Ross contributed many recipes to this book that I have enjoyed, and became “old faithfuls”. She Died in 1947.

½ cup water 2 tsp. Cinnamon
2 tsp. Vanilla
abt. 12 oz. Walnut halves (takes a lg. Bag)

Cook until a thread (238*), add nuts, stir until it crystallizes -- spread on buttered plate.
I have to keep making lots of Cinnamon Nuts during the holiday, they are so popular!
My Grandma (by marriage) was named Mary Hattie Evelyn Christopher Columbus Addington (1883-1970) but we just called her Grandma Hattie. I never knew this sweet old lady to say a harsh word about anyone. She was married to Major Ross. (Major was a given name and not a rank.) I remember her telling me stories about her early days of marriage when she spoke of Saturday night get-togethers with the neighbors when they'd roll up the rug and have dances and about when they'd spend weeks in the mountains of Georgia where the men would cut lumber for the winters and the women would get together and visit and cook big meals, care for the children and share recipes etc. until the men quit for the day and came back to camp.
She told about once when they had a fire in their home. She said she only had a few moments to rescue her most prized possesion...a brand new set of dishes. They were the only full set of dishes she'd ever owned at the time. When the fire threatened their kitchen, she gathered them all in her apron and ran outside. In her panic, she dropped them all on the ground once she was outside and, of course, they were all broken.
