Comments: Ada, I think so. That sounds familiar. He was always such a happy, go-lucky type.
Comments: Susan, Wasn't he called "Frenchie", atleast while we were at Holmes?
Comments: Don L, how did William Junell die?
Comments: Buckethead McGee- I am a proud product of Rowa Paschall, R Mattingly and Physics of R.P. Booshada in math. Now English is another subject. I am glade you recognized an opportunity to better your self in math. That way YOU can keep a score card accurate. When YOU hit the ball 6 times on A hole and put a 4 on a score card. That extra math will help YOU keep a true accurate score card my friend.
Comments: Sweet Ada Ann: You are in my prayers. Keep on kickin', girl. You've got a long life of fun left in you. And, we will all rejoice together with you when you come to the next mini and are completely healed. You're a "keeper," and we all love you.
Comments: Larry S - I remember Larry W very well. He lived only a few blocks away & we were very good friends. I found out about his tragic death, from another friend, Bill Griffith - big, red headed guy - during '67 or so while I was home on CG leave - I was stunned. The last 'motor' I recall him having was either a Vespa or Cruisaire, but not sure that was what he was riding that day. I ran into his sister, Sandra, & mother, Bonnie, in Bonds Clothing at the old A. Harris (Sanger Harris) shopping center sometime afterward, but not since. A year or so later, I also found out about William Junell's death while home on leave. I didn't come home again for a while afterward.
Comments: Bay Watch Capps, good news for you and your 67' crew. The DISD is now allowing Adult Students. Based on the method you use in keeping score on the golf course, you might want to brush up on math.
Comments: Linda P. My wife has been with the district for over twenty years now. Her third year was in the new 9th grade school, but of course they have changed all of that up. I thought the article in the morning news this morning was very interesting about how Lancaster ISD "did not have any substitute teachers." The education system is beginning to show cracks around the edges. Now, Duncanvill has more rooms open, but cannot pay staff. I remember my class size in geometry at SOC (Mr. Gunter) was fifteen students, and I learned. Class sizes these days are 32, and the roomws are smaller. Bolsa is very crowded on weekends. Call and find out their half price drink night---wine is excellent (try the Malbec).
Comments: KMG, it's a different kind of tradition with this group. About 80-100 people..guys/gals, etc. It's quite the shindig. Jack, I must have missed something about the rehab....no clue where you're headed with that one.
Comments: Tallcake, you must not have been staying up on the latest torment us guys are being subjected to; Couples Showers!!!! I think waterboarding is less torturous. CS ought to be against the law. Anytime three or more of us guys gather and slide off to one side, we are reeled back in and separated, forced to stand around while all the ouuuuuuuuuing and ahinnnnnnnnnnnng take place. Good Luck, Richard!!!! Be sure and let us know when you get out of rehab.
Comments: Larry, it is a small world. I used to have friends that taught at the h.s., but I believe all have retired by now. Mostly language teachers. How long has your wife been teaching there? My employer taught Latin at the h.s. many years ago; now we sell and service Avaya phone systems. Tell your wife that my youngest daughter (24) teaches 2nd year AP Spanish and 3rd year Spanish at DeSoto H.S. Yesterday she emailed me that a security guard there that's had a crush on her since last year gave her, in her words, "the mushiest" Valentine card. I think that it embarrassed her, and he is really a nice guy, but she has a boyfriend. What time of day do you go to Bolsa? Is is really crowded on the weekends? We tend to eat early, like the old folks we've become, cause I don't like to wait long.
Comments: Linda P. yes, the name of that place is Bolsa. Don't think anyone will be eating on the patio the next few nights, but it is a fantastic place to have some wine and some of their appetizers. Funny about you being in Duncanville. My wife is the AP english teacher for 9th grade at the only high school, and now I work near the intersection of Cockrell Hill and 67. It is a small world. For those of you talking about Richard, does anyone remember Larry Lee Walling? Also died in a tragic motorcycle accident just shortly after he was married.
Comments: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my exotic, beautiful Rosemary!
Comments: A big "Hang in there Baby" to "Kick A** Hendrie" and "Ravishing Rosemary"! We love you girls, and want you to keep on Kicking A** for a Long Long Time! And, Happy Big Bday Ravishing Rosemary!
Comments: Happy Birthday, Rosemary! Sandra, I've got you on my prayer list. Ada, you're on my prayer list, too, and have been for a while now. |
