We all remember Sandra Gorman Trojacek.  The Gorman's owned the Singing Hills Riding Stables.  I read in the Dls Mrng News obit tda that Sandra's husband, Raymond, passed away.  My prayers to Sandra & her family.

We've talked about it before, but we all have such great memories of the Saturdays we spent riding our favorite horse at the stables.  To the best of my knowledge, Sandra's info is correct in our directory.

John - The Burgins moved before we did.  Margaret went our soph & maybe some of our jr yr before they moved.  Bec of the move she did not go to SOC her sr yr and none of them graduated from SOC.   I believe she had to go to DeSota her sr yr. 

Rick located her for our 40th & we sent invite but she didn't attend.

SNL, did any of the Burgins graduate from SOC?

Ada, I too, went to Amazon and ordered the book. $17 or so (including shipping). A big discount from the book store price. All the reviewers on Amazon had nothing but high praise for the book. Looking forward to reading it.

Thanks for the tip abt Mr. Burgin's book John!  The dtrs in order are Margaret Ann, Vickie Lynn, Terrie Lee & Vanessa ? Burgin.  Every since Rick told us about the WW II series being aired on HBO & Mr. Burgin's character being one of the sub-plots, we keep finding out more & more about him.  I too will ck out the book as it'll make a great gift.  I wish we could have watched the series, but we don't get HBO.

I just ordered my copy of Mr. Burgin's book from Amazon.com.  I am getting it for my husband, Joe.  His uncle was killed on Okinawa....only 19 years old....buried in the Punch Bowl in Hawaii.  Joe was named after him.

Yesterday I was in here asking about Mr. R. V. Burgin. He also has a daughter named Terrie Lee Burgin who lives right here in The Woodlands.

To my surprise Mr. Burgin made an appearance in The Woodlands last Friday to do a book signing at the local Borders Book Store. Had I known in advance, I would have made it a point to go meet him. He also visited the Texas Marine Medal of Honor Monument here.

Burgin's visit made the front page of our local newspaper. Here is a link to part of that article:

His book has already sold 40,000 copies (not counting the one I will be purchasing).

Isn't it ironic that Franklin Gramham has been un-invited to the National Day of Prayer at the Pentagon?  Any thoughts?
We all need to pray for Franklin.  What's wrong with speaking the truth?  We'll probably all be under attach before we are called home.
Have a wonderful day!

JS - He is Margaret Ann Burgin Shepherd's father.  The Burgin's lived behind us all thru sch & we used to carpool at Lisbon.  They are from Australia and Mrs. Burgin had the darnest Aussie accent.  Very good people!  Margaret was 1 of 4 dtrs.

Thank you everyone for all the well wishes!  It really doesn't seem like 21 years!  (Barb, you're not late ... it's today!)

My back is healing just fine.  I'm up to a half mile on my treadmill.  Don't laugh!  That's good for me!  I hate exercising!
