Let’s start off the “Grateful Four” series with a true veteran of Thanksgiving Days — first lady of Dallas residential real estate Ebby Halliday Acers. Ebby, who is celebrating her 100th Thanksgiving, says:
- I am grateful for my 35 years with Maurice Acers during which time he did so many constructive things for our company, Texas and for the world.
- I am grateful for my longevity – 100 years and 9 months on December 9! My secret – don’t drink, don’t smoke and don’t retire.
- I am grateful for my continued good health and a good mind.
- I am grateful for my family and also for my work family, which is comprised of almost 1,600 fine Associates in 30 offices that serve more than 12,000 square miles in North Texas.

I am grateful that I met you almost 40 years ago when my family moved to Dallas and I went to work for the Dallas Times Herald and Jim Chambers. We bought our North Dallas home through one of your agents. When I invited you to go to lunch with me, you arranged to host lunch at the Dallas Country Club and invited several of your competitors to join us; including Paula Stringer and her son, Virginia Cook and others. I have told that story about Ebby being the class act of Dallas many times over. I wish for you many more years of good health and longevity.Bob Sproat
