Comments: I can't believe people would not want to talk to anyone who called from SOC, especially you all who were tracking us down-- you are all wonderful and thoughtful and not at all pushy or nosey. I am always amazed to hear on the GB,the wonderful places people are living and the different things they are doing with their lives-- Hawaii, for example--how do people actually get there and work there? just amazing. Most of us have fond memories of growing up in Oak Cliff so it is nice to see and hear from old friends. People just don't know what they are missing!!
Comments: Memo to future reunion committee members: Don't go to the time and trouble of printing and distributing a directory. Seems we have reached the point where we either; 1. Forget we have such a resource, 2. Have lost it, or (heaven forbid) can't figure out how to use it! JUST KIDDING GUYS!!! It doesn't contain any details, but it does let you know IF we found someone, even if they didn't want to give us any info. In some cases we were only able to provide last known info. Some didn't want to be found or provide any info to us. The search team devoted alot of time and expense to research, track down, contact and get info on everybody we went to school with. Even those who left before graduation. The ones who drove me crazy were/are the ones who are members of Classmates.com or reunion.com but didn't want to share their info with us. Why join the school dot coms and then not want to be in touch with your classmates?? The sad/scary ones were the ones that are not even in touch with their family anymore. The rewards were the ones who were happy that we went to the trouble to find them. Even if they could not join us for the reunion, they were happy to be remembered. And the great joy of getting back together with y'all. The looks on the faces of friends who have drifted apart when they do see each other again. That defines joy and happiness.
Comments: Just for the record -- All 3 were contacted and the info in our Dir is correct. I personally s/w John T & he is very happy in HI. He owns his own landscaping business and said it is a great life. I actually t/w him twice but he said he just couldn't get away to come to the Reunion. Bobby is corr about Mike P. & he t/w us but didn't make Reunion. David White is another story. Yes, he's a Dr in the Minneapolis area & we have his correct # but he moved & he doesn't want to t/w us or give us any info. Jack and I both tried more than once to reach him. Once David answered the pho but when Jack identified himself David suddenly said he was just leaving and to call him later! Then all Jack got was a voice mail. But then, I think that happens a lot to Jack??!! after numerous messages we took the hint & decided he wasn't interested!
Comments: Thanks Rick. I will be in touch as soon as I find your e-mail.
Comments: Dale, John Tricomi lives in Hawaii, I have his phone # somewhere I think. If you want it Email me.
Comments: Thanks JD
Comments: Jack H. I'm buried at work and really have no time for myself...but am keeping up and lurking...like GD.
Comments: Dale...the last I heard was that David White was a Doctor in the Minneapolis MN area or at MAYO Clinic in Rochester MN...can't remember and do not know if this is still true. I thought some one said they tried to make contact and never received a call back...even after several tries.
Comments: BTW- bUTTER fINGERS tell Bovie I said no IOU's bring folding money in big bills

Comments: Hey, Smiley! Mike Parish is an MD in Austin, the last I heard..Aenesthesiology.
Comments: Any one know what happened to David White or John Tricomi or Michael Parish ?
Comments: I thought I would follow up on my post from Saturday before it turns chaotic later today. DWS and JS, I wrote Mr. Headrick a short letter three or four years ago and like JS a received a very nice return letter form him. Dale, I remember many trips to his house during our junior and senior year including the sodium in the creek incident. I also recall a time when David White and i were out there and tossed a small stick of dynamite into the creek after lighting the fuse. We were covered by the water that was thrown over the bank where we were taking cover. Not many teachers would have put up with some of our capers. I also recall following DW up Houston School Road while he was driving an old tractor from Mr.Heindrick's, so that he could take it to school. Fond thoughts of yesterday and happy times when were young and care-free. BLAB, I'm here but have been busy for a while.
