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"
Comments: SJM...I agree, Bill could have been anything he wanted. At Zumwalt he was National Honor Society...really smart...and in Football, Basketball and Baseball he was good. I agree on football...but I also thought he was the best white guy I ever saw shoot a basketball until I saw Larry Bird. Bill had every shot. Really sad. And as for me...well I might have been a Clyde Barrow had I been able to find me a Bonnie...but no such luck...I found a Nun and married her...so you Baptist women have noting on Kathy...she still to this day says a complete Rosary before we go to sleep...praying for me I'm sure...LOL. Asking God to have me die quickly so she can have the money...all to herself.
Comments: J.D., don't you think Bill was the Mike Livingston of our class? The guy was a gifted athlete, boy he could be funny in a huddle. Such a waste of talent, should have played Div. 1 football. Speaking of flashlights, you were always in the middle of trouble. Nothing bad, just kid stuff. You should have been a Bank Robber, a rich one.
Comments: J.D., Don went to Kimball, big offensive tackle. I think he went to Texas Tech with Bay Watch Buddy Capps. Bovie and I are going to play golf with Buddy and Mike Logan this week. I can't wait to see the guy. He also had a smirky smile, like a cat that just left the bird cage. We will ease their folding money out of their wallets. I will call you from the course.
Comments: Did I miss something earlier? I thought Don Darnell went to Kimball. I spent many years with Don in the Boy Scouts, his Dad was our Scout Master.
Comments: McGee, you brought up a name I hadn't heard in years...but always wondered what happened to him...Bill Roberts...one lost sole after his parents divorced...was never the same. Anyone know...or have any news? I heard once that he went to prison...but could never confirm...and don't want anyone to think it is true unless we have confirmation. That is not and would not be fair.
Comments: Jr. Hi. Friday nights at the Crest theater...wow...25 cents to get in...never saw an entire movie...I wear glasses today because of the ushers shinning that stupid flashlight in my face. I always thought they were voyeurs because they wanted to watch... Our big treat as kids was going to the Wyatts Cafeteria on Sundays after Church...I thought it was in Wynnewood...can't remember. But do remember Kips on Sat night after football games...boy the food was bad. McGee, I was out thrown out once a month...let let the girl stay...once for a fight...man I almost forgot what it was like. Earlene, Eileen...one of the majorettes...left and went to Samuel's after Zumwalt. Facing the screen...Zumwalt on the left...Holmes on the right...don't remember many Storey kids. McGee, do you remember the location of the choice seats...they were always against the wall so no one could watch your moves...obviously you had more than me...LOL Tried several times to date you ladies from Holmes sitting so prim and proper on the "RIGHT" side of the theater...but couldn't get connected...never went to the balcony... |
