Comments: Barbara & I went to see Christie this afternoon. Her husband Bill was also there. She did confirm she had a stroke before the surgery, but physical therapy is helping her regain use of her left side. They have discussed radiation treatments & she thinks they will start this week. We told her all her SOC friends have been praying for her continued recovery. She told us she has felt all the prayers & asked that we continue to pray for her as she goes thru radiation treatments & rehab! Bill showed us her rehab schedule and it's tough!! She'll be in therapy from 10:00am to 4:00pm with only a 1 hr break for lunch!! So visits will have to be when she isn't in therapy. She loves all the cards.... so keep them coming. Her address is shown below. Baylor Institute of Rehabilitation Attn: Christie Torbett Rm. 321 909 N. Washington Ave. Dallas, TX 75246
Comments: Cindy Riggs, Jim Steele (Gerry's Bro.) was married, no children. He was an Aggie, worked for the Forestry Dept. in East Texas. He died while waiting for a heart transplant. Gerry kept his father's home in Dublin, Tx. His wife will retire in 2 yrs. then move there. I've seen him many times the last 20 yrs. He came to the 40th in overalls, sunglasses, John Deere hat. When together, it's like it was 45 yrs. ago. And you know how that was....with B. Browning in the front seat, and Creep in the back seat, nobody messed with us. Lots of good times.
Comments: Debbie, I will be thinking about you tomorrow. Please let us know when it is over....keep your bright smile on your face!
Comments: Deb, I'll be thinking about you in the morning and say a prayer for you. Eager to hear your good news.  
Comments: Debbie, we will be thinking positive thoughts about you and your medical procedure Monday morning. I know you will do well and be the new and improved Debbie afterwards. We will be waiting to hear an update from your boys.
Comments: Hey Bobby, so glad to hear from you! wow I'm impressed a seven year old...you obviously are staying young! Hey Gee Heart - Gerry has six kids?? OMG, glad that wasn't me...I am so glad he is doing well and happy. I'll tell Brenda about Jim. Do you know if he was married, had children? You can log on to classmates.com, I have pictues of my family posted. I'm not much of a tennis player anymore, I play golf now...but someone I was playing with not long ago suggested I take up bowling...hummm I wonder if that was a compliment? Our reunion is in Waxahachie in September...you guys need to come! And thanks again for including me in your get-together this summer, I will be there depending on the dates. I have a couple of trips planned. CRG
Comments: David Hamm, you little skamp you!  All is forgiven but I'm not giving you my new address just in case. No, Jack, my sister has not been in prison, but she may be going after she kills me for writing about her harmless high school girls group.  I may have exceeded the allowable artistic license.Thanks to all for the encouragement to finish my novel but first I have to find my manuscript. I misplaced it after my last move.  Many of you are aware of my propensity for procrastination, but I'm going to start looking for it soon...real soon.
Comments: Buddy Capps, bought a new 3 wood yesterday, better cash a check. We set for thursday? Jim Young, June Mini, did anyone tell Cheezehead we have an IQ test to attend? Ms. Cindy Lou Riggs, Gee Heart name brings back memories cruising with Creep Steele. Brother Jim died 10 yrs.ago, heart failure. Both parents are gone. Gerry is retired from the Temple school district, working the family ranch in Dublin. Married a teacher with 6 kids. Happiest I've seen him since he dated you. Same guy, I love em' like a brother. Gromatzky? Must have married a hocky player

Comments: Hey you guys out there sounding like an Arkansas Razorback with the snoring, you're keeping my four grandkids awake. I'll loan you my CPAP machine if you need it. Good to hear from SOC grads other than '66ers. Looking forward to 06-07-08. Thought for the week:Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue. TTFN

Comments: Hey Jim, How are you??? You are so funny...no worries about age, I'm not far from you guys and I'm a grandmother (oh gosh) does that get me in? I hope to see you this summer. Yes, we did live across the street from Clara Oliver. CG
Comments: I s/w Alan Torbett (son) a few minutes ago. Yes, it is OK for Christie to have visitors!! Just use good judgment and keep the visits short as she needs rest! Also, she isn't in her permanent room as it wasn't ready yet. Alan said they are hoping she'll get moved to the permanent one soon as she's sharing a room with several people. He asked that until she has her own room to hold off on the flowers or large items as there's no place to put them!! Once she is in her own room then she'll have space for personal items and gifts & flowers! But that doesn't mean you can't send cards!! Send 'em!!!!  |
