Alex Burr - hester_nec Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) Everybody in the 1970's who discovered C. W. McCall knew about Mavis Davis. A lot of people thought they (C. W. and Mavis) were real people. And they were - in the form of their alter egos. Those of us who had CB's certainly knew about C. W. and Mavis. So I think Jeanie deserves a spot on our web site. As Bill "C. W." Fries wrote of Mavis - "Not much upstairs, but from there on down DISNEYWORLD!!!!" Mavis Davis Passes Away From The Paris News (Paris, Texas): Jean “Jeanie” McBride Capps Wear, loving wife, mother and grandmother passed away peacefully Saturday, June 9, 2007, in Paris.
