Marica , thanks for the post. I went to my families history book and found out that Donnie Ray Boone is my great uncle Walter Burton (Bert) Boone's and great Aunt Cora May (Kelly) Boone's grandson. Donnie's parents are Walter Franklin Boone of Howard and Dreva June (Rice) ,Boone
Donnie Ray Boone is buried at Grace Lawn Cemetery, Howard, KS.
I have been working on my families geneology for the past few years. Post like this sure does help.
