Place: Richardson Comments: It seems like everyone certainly had a good time at the Girl's Christmas Luncheon Saturday. Shortcake is right, the food was so good and the desserts were irresistible. I ate so many of those candies and the pie and cookies I had a sugar high the rest of the afternoon and night!
13 of us attended and wow, after more than 50 years (no need to be exact ![[eek]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/eek.gif "Eek - :eek:") ) after graduation, we're still gathering and still having fun. Thank you everyone for the food and the gifts and to Barbara for inviting us to her home!! Already looking forward to the Spring Mini. ![[smile]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)")
Place: McKinney Comments: We had our annual Christmas luncheon for the SOC66 ladies at Barbara Fugate’s home. The house looked beautiful With all the Christmas decorations. Barbara made enchiladas and everyone else brought sides. The food was great, especially the desserts, which SNL can attest to. Pretty sure she left with six containers! The guys that were there left and went to Hooters for lunch! There was definitely a lot of talking, laughter eating. Thanks to all the ladies that brought gifts for everyone. I am sitting here looking at candy and wondering if I can eat it for breakfast! Thanks again Barbara and Sandy. You did a great job. See you at the next mini!

Place: Mancos, colorado Comments: Charles Moss' wisdom is legendary...but, in the late sixties, we refered to it as something else.
Place: Richardson Comments: Today is Saturday, last day of November. Tomorrow is December 1st. Anyone else think time is flying past them!? Hope everyone is having or had a great Thanksgiving. One week from today is our traditional Girl's Christmas Luncheon. We have 15 signed up to attend. Going to be a loud & fun time for all of us. Happy December and may we all enjoy the reason for the season and have a safe and good December with a celebration of Christmas.
Place: Richardson Comments: Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. We, like most of you, have aches & pains and some problems, but we should be thankful each day we get up and have another day here. To quote my good friend Charles Moss, " If I can get up in the morning and my feet touch the floor, it's a great day. I'm still alive!" Please keep our friends who aren't doing as well and suffering with great difficulties in your prayers. Jeanne Smith starts chemo today for ovarian cancer! Jimmy Hodnett suffers from Parkinson's and not doing well at all! Ada Ann is still recovering from major surgery to replace a heart valve! God Bless all our SOC Friends who aren't doing well. Enjoy whomever you may share Thanksgiving with, and remember to be thankful. Love, Sandy
Place: Regarding Update on Jeanne Smith Comments: Thanks Donnie, I was thinking of her and wandering what the result from last week were. Bless her heart, with Bill gone and now this, she needs our prayers more than ever.
Place: Update on Jeanne Smith. Comments: Barb talked to Jeannie Smith today and she went to Southwestern to see the Dr last week. They did a biopsy and she will get the results sometime this week. She is going to have her first chemo treatment the Wednesday before Thanksgiving! She sounded in good spirits! Keep the prayers going for her.
Place: Richardson Comments: I didn't see that story in the paper but was instrumental in getting the ring back to Roy. Perry's son & his girlfriend were internet savvy. Once they saw the 3 initials and the school name on the ring they went online and found our class website. She contacted me via email and told me the info. It took only a minute to pull out the list and see only one person had those initials. I told her I would contact Roy and ask for a name and number he could contact. At our 50th, a short few days later, I told the story and we all marveled at how 50 years later for our 50th reunion Roy's ring was reunited with him. I just loved how nice and caring Perry and his son & his son's girlfriend were in wanting to get the ring back to it's owner. Thanks for sharing the article John, it was fun reading the events and remembering the story again.
Place: The Woodlands, TX Comments: I may be repeating old news with this ... but today I came across a fascinating "metal detecting" treasure hunt which was written up in the September 22, 2016 issue of The Dallas Morning News. I haven't met Roy yet but I do recall his older brother Frank from the Class of 1961. Frank passed away in September, 2022. For those of you who missed it, here is the remarkable tale: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2016/09/22/south-oak-cliff-grad-reunited-with-class-ring-50-years-after-it-was-lost-in-a-snowball-fight/
Place: Richardson Comments: Loyd, how nice to hear from you! I see you on FB, but it's great when our group posts here too. We would all love to see you at our next Get-Together in the Spring. Thank yo for the compliment and glad to hear you've been browsing the photo files. Memories . . . right? ![[love]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/love.gif "Love - :love:")
Place: Waxahachie Tx Comments: Just looking at photos posted. Thanks Sandy and Don for keeping this going!
Place: Richardson Comments: No, I haven't seen anything here or FB from Ada Ann. I'm sure they're keeping her very busy at the rehab facility she is in and probably very tired from all the work. But it would be so nice just to see a post from her, if only a few words.
Place: Powderly, TX Comments: Sandy, anymore to report on Ada Ann? Prayers continue…
Place: Richardson Comments: Good to hear from you. Let's pray this 2nd surgery works and I do hope you can go home soon and the pain will ease with each passing day. |
