Children

Does anyone know how many children Mildred had. I found a source that states that she had two children, Joseph and Violet (who died in a match). Can someone help with this?(MgTurtle (talk) 22:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC)).[reply]

Change of section title

In the article, the original title of the section that dealt with Burke's NWA dealings was entitled "Old Boys Network." That was not a neutral point of view, as the phrase contains a bias against the power the NWA "boys" had. I chnaged the subtitle to a more neutral "Dealings With The NWA" Paul Kondor Poduszlo (talk) 06:25, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
