All I can say is "Thank God that JS canceled the Awards show" because I think Jack and I would have shown up in the same outfit. Oh the humiliation!

Happy belated birthday to Smiling Eileen Sandifer. Hope it was joyous!

BLB, thoughts and prayers are with your family and friend. Our company lost a 30-year-old female employee and the 9-year-old son of one of our salesmen to cancer all in one week. Makes me keenly aware of our mortality and grateful for good health. I know Christie's rehab will take time but it is so comforting to know that she has done so well thus far and her strong determination will help her get through it.

Happy Birthday Eileen!!

Linda P: does that mean that there is a chance you are related to another Nance (the west coast ghost) we know??
FYI: I have a customer (dentist office) in McKinney. While I haven't had any work done there, I can tell you that they keep their equipment in very good shape. I think this relates to the quality of dentist they are too.  It is
Stonebridge Dental
4150 W. Eldorado Pkwy, Ste 300
McKinney, TX  75070
Dr Micheal Bolton and Dr. Cynthia Medina (972-547-0554)

A source that won't be named has leaked that the reason Southworth's SOCademy Awards are canceled is that almost all the winners are from our class (66ers). Knowing that would not set well with the "older" set, he took the easy way out and canceled, blaming it on the riders strike. I'm sending John a bill for the cost of my new red, off the shoulder, outfit I bought JUST for the awards.  I urge the rest of you to do the same!

Congratulations to the "Wisconsin Wonder" and Sandy Joe for correctly identifying Calcutta Drive as the location of Eileen's front porch.

I lived 5 houses east of Eileen on the same side of the street. Next door to me was a grumpy neighbor named Kenneth Blackburn.

True Story: Mr. Blackburn was a cranky guy who expected his newspaper to be "porched". On one occassion when the paperboy came to collect, Blackburn tossed the money out into the yard and yelled "if I have to look for my paper, you can look for your money!".

I hope Sandy wasn't that paperboy.

Sandy McGee -- Thanks for the information; I'll give it to my daughter.

My aunt has researched my family's geneology and has gone back 10 generations.  She has a book published in the Library of Congress. Once I went to downtown Dallas Library and spent hours looking for one patriot.  I don't think I have the fortitude to be that investigative for a long period of time.  One of my relatives wrote 4 songs that are published in the Baptist Hymnal -- "Higher Ground," "No Not One," "He Included Me," and I don't remember the last one.  His name is Johnson Oatman, Jr.  He was from Llano, TX.

BLB -- Twinkle in the eye; be thinking positive thoughts for you and your family.  Some dates are just etched into our memory.  It's been almost 8 years since my mom passed away and last night at church I saw her husband (not my parent) at church sitting with another woman.  I think that it's alright and that anyone who wants it should have a companion to be with, but it still hurt to see him with another woman.  He didn't see me, and I was unable emotionally to go to him and say hi.  I was surprised at myself.

Eileen -- Happy Birthday and many more.  It's a beautiful day to celebrate.

Sandy McGee -- I am a D.A.R. and have been to 1 meeting and 1 luncheon.  They are a philantrophic group who goes to cemetaries, libraries, museums, etc. to gather information to preserve our heritage.  They give money for scholarships and to winners of contests who do a project for the D.A.R.  They do try and promote interest in the organization.  My patriot was a Thomas Nance from Virginia.  You are right about most of the members being OLD.  On a positive note about D.A.R., the women that I was in contact with are patriotic and serious about keeping accurate records regarding our heritage for generations to come. 

Sandy McGee -- Do you know of a children's dentist in McKinney/and or an oral surgeon that's good?
