Glenn C. Williamson of Slaton this past Tuesday delivered both a $500 check from himself and a $1,000 check in memory of Ronald “Ronnie” Wayne Kidd to Lamesa Boys and Girls Club Director Claudia Morales. Williams said the $1,000 donation represented proceeds from a life insurance policy which Ronnie’s father, M.C. “Jack” Kidd, had purchased and made payable to Ronnie. After Jack’s death in 2018, Ronnie had declined to process the policy before his own death in a house fire in Thorndale, TX, in 2019. Ronnie’s mother, Nita Perot Ramage, and Jack’s widow, Alice Kidd, agreed to donate the $1,000 proceeds from the policy to the Lamesa Boys and Girls Club. Ronnie, a 1971 graduate of Lamesa High School, had spent much of his time at the club while growing up here.
