Update on Doctor Reneau

Billy, I so enjoy your articles and share them with Dr. Reneau who’s ALZ has progressed quickly this past year. He had surgery in the summer after many falls caused extensive bleeding on his brain, followed by skilled nursing until I had to admit him in the fall into an excellent Memory Care facility close to home for me to be with him daily. He’s still is his kind, gentle, and oh so strong-willed self always with a smile that so many remember of him. It’s a terrible slowly declining disease as we all know, but he still has his good days of remembering a few things of his time with UT and the players. Still, when we tell him his life stories of all he did in his life, his face lights up, that big smile, his jolly laugh, and he says he can’t believe he did all that. I told him yesterday of Coach Weis’s passing, and he remembered her fondly. They both were part of the UT system together and friends at our Great Hills Country Club for many years. Pat was special to the whole club, but especially to the golfing women, was our WGA President in 1995, and played with our group for many years until her health declined. Thanks, Dena Reneau
