He was a graduate of College of the Ozarks and was a pharmacist. His wife Claudia along with JC were instrumental in forming the Sebastian Co. Girls Softball League and leased Andrews Field at a nominal fee for that purpose. Claudia also established the Fort Smith Girls Shelter and devoted her life and his to serving the youth of this area. Good stories about making deliveries to the Como and Ozark hotels to the "working girls". Proud to have been friends with the Vaughn." Dr. James C.
