Description

Emmett Shelton Sr. tells stories of his second family, after marrying Joyce and her son Jeffery Dochen in 1962. The stories tell of working through many of the same issues other blended families face. Jeffery helped Emmett clear land, plan new subdivisions, build Westlake Hills and later took over for Emmett and Joyce as a major broker for people looking for that perfect piece of land in Our Westlake - Paradise.

Note:  Many of you remember Joyce Shelton, the Patron Saint of the Peninsula. Joyce was Jeffery's mother and her birthday is July 4. We publish this Episode on her birthday in her memory.

By Polk Shelton - Emmett's Son
