Comments: I had to miss the 35th reunion because I was working a show in Oklahoma that weekend. I'm glad to learn the details of how the mini reunions got started. SNL, I really hope that everyone will take your suggestion to come out "in honor of Christie" who helped get it all started in the first place and have a fun day of comraderie with our friends and classmates. You may discover someone you didn't know well before but will really enjoy knowing now.
Comments: Some of you have good memories, but for those that may have forgotten, I'm going to tell you a little diddy about Christie! Our 35th reunion was in Aug 2001 & not many showed up! Kinda a bummer. Then we all know what happened shortly after that . . . 9-11!! In Oct Christie decided there was no reason to wait another 5 yrs to see our SOC friends .... why not see them now! She & Eileen started calling friends & they ask each person to call another friend. We were all to meet at noon at Dave & Busters in the bar for a mini get-together!! About 40 of us showed up & it was great! I grabbed a piece of paper & had everyone write down their name & contact info including email. I compiled it into an email & pho list in my PC. From there it grew like wildfire because I could send email messages to everyone rather than us calling each person. As you can see, the original idea of having us all get together more often than every 5 yrs came from Christie!! It was her initiative that got the ball rolling! She never missed a get-together or a reunion. She loved a good party and especially if it was with her SOC friends! With that thought in mind, I encourage you to make the effort to attend our next get-together on June7th. As we've all learned this week . . . you never know when you'll see someone for the last time. Why not take the opportunity to visit & enjoy your fellow classmates on June 7th, as some will have traveled great distances to get here. In honor of Christie . . . show-up & enjoy the day visiting with friends!!

Comments: Annette....you do have a way with words....Happy Trails indeed!
Comments: Ms. Susan P., I spent 4 hrs. in a golf cart with "Mister" Fugate yesterday. He did not elaborate, but stated his present planted a big smile on her face. The boy did chip in a 75 ft. shot and hit his drives out of site. We could not find half of them...... Capt'n Happy Jack, golf clubs are on sale, the air is cool, the beer cold, and Botox Bovie has the golf cart waiting.......
Comments: I am saddened to learn of Christie's passing. I seem to remember that Christie was one of the organizers of our first "mini" get-togethers following the reunion in 2001. I will be forever grateful for that initiative. Has anyone talked with Eileen? I think that Christie has been one of her rocks throughout the years. I love you, my friends. - Carol
Comments: I called Don Gaines home Sun mrng and t/w Virginia. Sundays are the only time you can call as Don doesn't answer the pho and Virginia works the night shift 6-days a wk. I gave her the info on Christie as Don & Christie were good friends from the old neighborhood. she was going to call me tda when she got in to get the arrmts. Unfortunately she doesn't gt off work until 7:00am & doesn't think that's enough time to get home & get Don ready and make it to Duncanville by 10:00. They live in far N. Dls near the Geo. Bush & Preston. But Virginia said Don is doing well & they plan to see us on June 7th!!!
Comments: A late but very warm Happy Birthday to you beautiful Barbara. And, to our wonderful Christie, Happy Trails to you dear friend, until we meet again. Ada said it best, you're all class.
Comments: Donnie, would you please talk to my husband and teach him how to treat his wife?
Comments: Ronney and Sandy, definitely not a washer for our Barb. Donnie got her a big honking diamond ring! Instead of Senior or Senor, I think MISTER Fugate is the appropriate title for such a generous and wise man.
Comments: Tah Tah For Now?????
Comments: Sam, what's "TTFN"?
Comments:
Comments: McGee: I doubt that Fugate bought Barb a new washer. I would bet that he bought that new DustBuster she has been eyeing at Target. 
Comments: It's been a while since I've visited the GB. So sorry to hear about Christie. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family in the passing of one of our dear SOC friends. Good to hear from everyone. Happy Belated birthday Barbara. Thought for the week: You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
