Comments: Don great to hear bro Doug is getting a much deserved vacation! Also great to hear he's holding his own an doing a bit better!! Regarding Jack Marvin Thomas Jr. - I put notes on all SOC GBs from 62 thru 68. No hits at all. I believe the funeral home obit had the wrong year for his B-day!! I heard from the class of 68 & he's definitely not from 68. Also Tommy Barr had met him in person as he frequented the Feed Store Jack owned. Tommy said Jack was definitely older than 60 something, probably 70 something. Must be from the 50s classes. I'm gonna put a note on the 50s GB & see if I get a hit from them as all the 60s classes don't know him. I'll let you know when I find out.
Comments: Doug replied - doesn't recall the name. Forwarded e-mail w/link to SOC '66 vets to see if anyone else might know.
Comments: Here's the obit on Jack Thomas, but I don't recall the name: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dallasmorningnews/obituary.aspx?n=jack-thomas&pid=144193717&fhid=2581 I'll ask my brother Doug if he remembers, since he was SOC '68. BTW - Doug's on a long-awaited vacation w/family in CA. Still weighs in the 140's, but he's getting around better & appetite is picking up.
Comments: Sure John -- Dru makes you watch the Bachelorette. Rudy watches it too, and enjoys it as much as I do. Last night, he called the "snake" Frank a jerk. Congrats to Dale and Yvonne on becoming grandparents again. babies are such fun.
Comments: JS - Jim came up with the DOB & that led us to believe he wd be frm the Cl of 68. I posted them a note on their GB. I'm waiting for a reply. Tnx JS! The old "when you could start to sch" rule was that you had to be six before Sept 1st to enter first grade. Of course there were a few who fell into that catogory & went to pvt sch & then straight into the 2nd grade. Like Sally,Toni, Ada Ann etc! They're the smart young Whipper Snappers in our class. Me . . . my b-day being in Dec, I just waited a yr & therefore was among the oldest in the class!
Comments: Sandy Lynn, I notice Jack Thomas's birthday is 9/4/49. That could put him in either the class of '67 or '68. What was the "rule" if your birthday fell after Labor Day?
Comments: With help frm Jim Young, I think we may have found which class Jack Thomas was from. We believe it to be Cl of 68. I left them a note & hopefuly they'll confirm it soon. Tnx Jim!
Comments: JS I better not be getting any bullones in my email. !!!    Congrats Dale & Yuvonne!On a sader note, I Saw in the obits tda that a "Jack Marvin Thomas Jr." passed away. Said he was a graduate of SOC, no yr. Didn't give a DOB either, but said he was in Viet Nam & death was due to complications from exposure to Agent Orange. That led me to believe he was an early to mid 60's grad. I've checked the 63 thur 66 Dens but no luck. Does anyone remember him or know what class he was from?? It's always sad when a SOC grad from any yr dies.
Comments: I received a call today from Smiley, out at his ranch. He and Yuvonne are just giddy about being "grandparents" one more time. Dale went on to explain that his black & white faced cow had given birth to a cute little red bull (no relation to the power drink of the same description). As they were having their morning coffee a group of turkeys strolled by and some dove paid them a visit. Life is good in the country. Oops! Gotta go watch the Bachelorette (Dru makes me do it). Tonight Ali gets dumped by that four-eyed weasel Frank.
Comments: Hey wonderful '66 gang---you all are so dear to my heart, thank you all so much for your Bday wishes Sheryl, Linda, Don, Karen, Toni, Jack, SNL, Susan and Ronney! I am very grateful for your friendships through the years. And, Happy Anniversary to the beautiful and always sunny Toni and her hubby Bruce. Sorry for being away from the board so long. I hope to see you all again soon!
Comments: I had a wonderful week with my two grandsons - we visited CityScape, Nickelrama, went to see Despicable Me, visited Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Ft. Worth, and survived Celebration Station, not to mention swimming every day, playing Wii Mario Kart into the night! We graced McDonalds a couple or times and made all sorts of food that I have never eaten!! We made cupcakes and popsicles, and I got to watch my older grandson demonstrate his microwave culinary talents! Then we attended my older grandson's team party Saturday night where we got to help watch Hudson! Geez, we were so tired that we celebrated our anniversary at home! We're going out to dinner tonight with some neighbors!! Thanks everyone for the anniversary wishes! Happy belated birthday, Annette! Hope it was a great one! Ronney, we need to talk about the snake situation! If you drive by my home, you will swear it smells like moth balls....and it does...finally found a way to hopefully move the snakes out! Found the latest one dead in my front yard with his mouth open!
Comments: Happy anniversary to Toni & Bruce; hope that you had a wonderful blessed day. Happy birthday to Annette; hope that you also had a wonderful blessed day.
Comments: Thanks for your comments JD I believe everything you say.
