Sudden Sam Smith, I just purchased a Titleist staff bag and need a golf towel. Got a extra pair of undies? One of those treasures would clean up my clubs very well.
Eddie T., old T.L. Marsalis bud, sat in the back row with Cable Guy Fugate and I. Good guy.

Jack may be able to elaborate more than me, but best I remember he told Jack he was on heavy medication due to a failing heart.  He'd had problems for some time.  That's why, as hard as Jack tried, he couldln't get much conversation out of him & he would go for long periods of time without responding.  He coud never get him to give us a mailing address.  I will look ea day for an obit and post as soon as I find one!

Sam, I have always wondered what that somewhat musky odor was when I was around you. Hee-hee!!!!

Such sad news. I met Eddie in the 7th grade. He was a great guy and a great friend. This really saddens me, as I know it does the rest of you. I hate to realize that he had been so sick for such a long time. I thank the Lord, though, that he is out of his suffering. He was WAY too young to die, as were all the other deceased members of our class.

Don L AND HAPPY JACK,

O.K. Lets clear the air ( no pun intended) about my underwear.

How easy we forget that in college we all wore our one pair of underwear from first-fifteenth, turned them inside out and wore them from sixteenth - e.o.month. I just carried that into my marriage.

Does anyone know what Eddie's illness(s) was?  I got to know him because he was over at Bobby's house a lot and I lived next door to Bobby.  He was a sweet guy.  I may go to his service if I can find out when it is.

Thank goodness we have some great detectives here!!  Thanks Rick & Susan!!

Rick - yes that wd be Eddie's dad that passed away in the 80's.  Susan you sly dog! Good work girl!!!  Yes, Eddie was living in either GP or Irving so wd be logical he was in a nursing home there.  I think it's too soon for obit, maybe tmo, or maybe not at all.  As most of you know, they cost a fortune & some people just don't put anything in the paper. I will keep monitoring it & if I can find one I will put link here on GB. 

Poor Eddie, he was very ill in 05 & 06 as Jack communicated with him via Classmates & email but he was too ill to do much & couldn't even think about coming to our reunion.  God Bless him & prayers to his family.

    SNL, I just Googled Eddie and found that he was in Ashford Hall Nursing Home in Irving.  I called them and they did confirm that he passed away yesterday.  Did you check the Irving paper?

    Mike and I had a great time on vacation, even if it was less R & R and more E & E (exercise and exertion). Not a single cloud in the sky the whole trip, but it's sure good to be home again. 

    Toni and Bruce, keep getting better. I'm so glad Bruce didn't have to have surgery. You guys will be sorely missed on the Blind Ambition team, but it's great to have a pro like Kathy Orr Arrington step in to swing a club. Jack, I think I smell victory. 

    Happy belated b-day wishes to Earlene and belated anniversary wishes to Roe and his wife. Hope I didn't miss anyone else.

    Ada, I sure hope little Jeremiah continues to get stronger and stronger. He is in our prayers.
