Before proceeding with this bit of famly lore, keep in mind that my dad, the late Ronald Kitt Cox, MD (1931- 1976), often prefaced tales of our tribe with the phrase, "any damn fool can tell the truth."
My dad's maternal grandfather, Kitt Connally, was a "troubleshooter" for Standard Oil in the rough and tumble towns of California. KC's wife died at an early age, leaving him two daughters to raise in the crude (pun intended) environment.
