Comments: Ronney - I think I ate at that pizza place. Wasn't it one of the first in Dallas? I hope I didn't get sick. What's the thing with urinating in grease, dough, etc. Girls don't do things like that. Why are guys so fascinated with that? Karen RL and Toni RJ - The Chambers said that they moved to Singing Hills in the 60's, but didn't live there too many years as it was rapidly changing? LouAnna said that growing up she lived on Elmore and her old house still looks pretty good, but that when a brick came through their front window, it was time to move. Then is when I think her parents moved to Singing Hills. And then after she was married she and Mr. Chambers moved there too. I gotta go; my cat is trying to type on my keyboard and might mess it up. Last night, she was trying to turn off the green light under my computer screen.
Comments: Kinda makes you hungry for pizze, eh, Reynolds-Wrap???!!! Wonder what makes the crust so crunchy?
Comments: Thanks Ronney - I can now proudly say I never ate pizza there while you worked there. I remember the Banana popcicles, and the chinese fire drills - I tried to tell one of our kids about them also and they could not imagine why we would want to do that! And also the sugar cube. There are really a lot of things I had not thought about in years. Wish I could be here to next weekend, but this trip is already paid for so I have got to go. Ya'll take notes.
Comments: Hey, Linda P.: Can't you just see someone urinating in the cooking grease. I hope he stood way back. I can just see the grease popping all over him as he did that. I remember one of the Sr. 65ers in the band telling me about his job at a pizza restaurant and how he urinated in the dough. When I worked at Shakey's Pizza Parlor #1 (at Northwest Highway and Abrams Road), we would stomp the dough with our shoes on when the dough was rising. And, we had dough fights after hours when the manager was counting money in the office. Then, we would quickly pick it all up and put it back in the dough bin for pizzas the next day.
Comments: Sandy Joe: The last I heard of Bill Roberts was that he was living here in Allen. I cannot remember who (at a reunion) told me. That was probably a decade ago, though. I don't see his name in the phone book.
Comments: Sandy McGee - Why do you call Buddy Capps "BayWatch Buddy?" What a bad boy you were to look up girls' skirts. Someone should have kicked you. And to admit it! I remember you working there, but not buying shoes from you. Bakers was my favorite shoe store as they carried affordable narrow shoes. This morning Rudy and I had breakfast with LouAnna (HURT) Chambers and Darrell Chambers. Anyone remember them? I still call him Mr. Chambers and her LouAnna, as she put it, she's known me since I was a baby, and I've only known him since they got married in 1961 (I think). Mr. Chambers was my homeroom teacher and math teacher at Holmes. He was also the band director. They live by Kimball. They look great. LouAnna is Denise Hurt's cousin. Her younger brother is Jimmy Hurt (67), and a sister MaryAnn (I think 65). Mr. Chambers said that at one time in the 80's (I think), that Holmes was the biggest middle school in the country; 2500 7th graders. I can't imagine that school being so big. Drove down 67 going home the other day and Kips is now B&B Home Cooking and bakery. I haven't seen the front of it, only the back. I believe the Taco Bell at Illinois and 67 is still there and I remember a story circulating in high school that one of our classmates worked there and urinated in the grease that the tacos were cooked in. YUCK!! I never ate there again. Sandra, I'm going to call you now. Hope you answer. Yea, I remember cutting up at the theater. It was so fun being a silly girl.
Comments: Ada, I wish you could be here for our tour of youth next Friday.
Comments: Yes, I remember all of that. Our area has a garden club call The Millermore Garden Club. Awards were given for best decorated house, kept yard, etc. Remember the hurricanes lamps made from tuna cans and placed on dowel rods. They lite up every sidewalk, driveway in the neighbor hood. Ricky Vaughn!
Comments: Sandy McM, do you remember Millermore being blocked off and there was a neighborhood block party? And all of the houses decorated at Christmas? Do you remember one time it snowed and we all went to the country club and sled....probably on pieces of cardboard?
Comments: Why does anybody in their right mind get up so early on Saturday morning? The last I heard of Don Darnell, he had married a woman with kids and he was a bartender. I know he waited a long time to marry. That's probably been 20 plus years ago. I had a crush on Don all through high school. I got the light shined in my face, but it was for cuttin' up. Remember, Linda. It happened more than once. Sitting on the curb waiting for the ice cream man. Banana Fudgecicles
Comments: David Mitchell - Mr Bearden was the only milk man I remember. He would come in about 600am and pull me by the ankles with ice cold hands (wintertime)out of bed, him and dad gotta big laugh. David I think it was about 53 when we moved in 3418 Marsalis. I think SOC was still under construction. We come from the farm so mom and dad had chickens in the back yard. Now it was a real treat for the city kids to see mom ring a chicken and watch it run around the yard. don't know if u or Ronnie B were there. Buz Gus and George would be at the fence any time mom hit the back yard.
Comments: Yes, I remember that Holmes was on the right side looking at the screen. Why couldn't we all just sit together? Crusin Kiest Park on Sun afternoon was a favorite sport. And the Hampton Dairy Queen on Fri and Sat nights. And chinese firedrills....I've tried to explain them to the kids, but the look at me like I am crazy. Standing in line to get the polio vaccine on sugar cubes.
Comments: Sandy Joe that is a new one on me maybe that is why my old roomy Mickey O'Riley 65(downtown Bakers salesman at the time) always had a big smile on his face. Sandy you need not tell us what a home run was at the Crest. I would hate to see you banned by SNL or Ada Ann. Most of us uptown Storeites made out oops i mean went to the Texas Theater, but I do remember and i will not give a name trying to watch Dr NO 007 at the Crest being botherd by a young lady
Comments: McGee...gotta go, going to the Indoor Dome to hit my 200 golf balls so I'll be ready in March...or April...or May...when every the weather changes enough for us to play outside. Today is my practice day with demos...buying new irons...I've got Callaway, Taylor Made, Ping, Mizuno & Cleveland's... 6-7- & 8 irons of each...trying to make a decision.
Comments: SJM...you tell Logan and Capps..but especially Logan that if he doesn't come and play golf in June when I'm down there...I'm coming for him with my Chicago and NY Italian Mafia connections and "LOOK HIM UP" |
