Texas in 1949.
In 1949, the Greene's were transferred to Odessa with General American Oil Co.,

teaching his grandchildren to swim and cooking outdoors for his family.
Mr. Greene was on the Founding Board of Meals on Wheels and delivered meals for 
several years. He served on the vestry of St. John's Episcopal Church as Jr.
