Comments: Ms.McM, Ms. Perkins, Prof. Smiley: The Crest was a Friday night hangout for mostly Zumwalt kids, mixed with some from Holmes. We played the football games on Saturday. Most of us stopped by Griffs, Arthurs, Kips on the way home. The wager of the night was who was going to kicked out first, J.D., Bill Roberts, Eddie Bart. Mike Malone was always in the corner, smootching on someone. Remember the Steady Shirts? It was kool to have them shine the flash light in your face. That meant you were getting out of the Batter's box headed to first base. You went to the balcony if you were rounding first , headed to second. QB Smiley, I believe Ms. Lincoln went to Holmes, and attended Hillcrest Baptist Church. I picked her up after church many times our soph. year. Did you ladies shop at Baker's Shoes in A. Harris Mall. If so, B.C. Browning or I fitted your shoes, and took a peek 
Comments: Hi Alvin, yes Carolyn's parent owned & ran Jan's bakery in Wynnwood for many yrs. I was still in touch with Carolyn for a # of yrs after SOC as she was a hairdresser & she did my hair for many yrs. Our paths crossed a few times after that but haven't seen her since the 70's. Glad to see you post & we'd love to see you at our next class get-together! Mark June 7, 2008 on your calendar & the specifics will be posted on our EVENTS pg as the date gets a little closer.
Comments: Hey, Alvin: How are you and your family doing? I have been thinking about you, hoping you are doing OK. I can only try to imagine what you and your family are going through.
Comments: Just catchung uo on the posts. Thanks guys for the sympathy cards that keep rolling in. Speaking of Jan's Bakery. Do you guys rememeber Carolyn Egner from Marsalis she worked worked at Jans. I think her parents may have ran the store or owned it. She remembered me when I was there back in the late 70s'. I may have still had hair at that time.
Comments: There was a girl that was at the Crest theater ever Friday night when we were in Junior High. I never knew her name cause every one called her by her nick-name " Lincoln" They called her that cause all the guys took a shot at her in the balcony.
Comments: You must have been dreaming. But that is a good song, do you know it? We had the same milk man when I was a kid until I moved away from home. And when my parents moved so did the milk man. I have always heard about milk man stories, but I didn't look like him. Buddy C did ya'll have him too? as you just lived 1/2 block down the street. His name was Mr. Jones.
Comments: Linda, Jan's was sold about five or six years ago. The Spanish family that bought it stayed there a couple of years, then closed. They told me they bought the receipts too. Any time I was near there I stopped and bought their party cookies. They were like short bread cookies with a swirl of icing in the middle. YUM. I know I rode on the bus to the fair, I just don't remember when. In grade school we went every year to the symphony on the bus. And we also had music classes. I'm not mentioning any names, but HE was probably the only Baptist in the balcony. Buddy, you can believe whatever I say. 
Comments: OK - I've been out of pocket for most of the day and was trying to watch Oprah and catch up on the GB. Then my cat was putting his face in my water glass and trying to drink my water. Ok - girls, where are we meeting on the 8th? If we need a big car, I have a Durango; it holds more than 2 people, although 2 could sit in each others' lap. I remember those days - cramming lots into a small car, and the small cars back then weren't small like the small cars now days. OK, does that make sense? I guess the sports cars were small back then. I didn't have one. I remember walking around the corner of my street and catching the bus to downtown Dallas (with my mother) or when I was older to Fair Park to go to the Fair. Sandra, did we ride the bus to the Fair? Sandra, at Marshall's in Preston Center, I bought some stuff for my house for my meeting. Was there about 2 hours. Marshall's didn't have much Valentine's stuff. Is Jan's Bakery still in Wynnewood? If not, it hasn't been gone too many years. Sandy McGee -- how do you know Baptists were in the balcony at the Crest? Were you there too, or just watching? I remember sitting in the balcony with the new neighbor girl who moved on our street. I was scared to death. That was the only time I went anywhere with her. I think I was in the 6th or 7th grade.
Comments: Maybe this was a dream, but I could swear that David posted another song lyric before I turned the computer off last night, but didn't see it there today. Was I dreaming? It was Rick Nelson's "Traveling Man". SN, you think we're through, or is that a nice way of saying, That's enough girls.Borden's milkman. Glass bottles of milk with waxed paper seals. Drop the clothes pin in the glass bottle or use it for spin the bottle. Riding the street car on Jefferson. The big pool at Lake Cliff Park. I think it had sand for the bottom. They filled it in because of drownings. Tootie Fruitie Ice Cream
Comments: Yes ... Ada Ann, Linda, Sandy McM & Toni are all cookin' with gas this week! Just listening to them is like steppin' back in time! Apparently they had an upgrade in their memory chips & when they rebooted they were smokin'!!  Nice work girls! Richard, I hear pay-back can be heck! 
Comments: Man, the brain cells are in good working order for this group. How could you remember Goffs?..that was my favorite. You know, I stood up Rick last week and this week he canceled on me...sounds vindictive doesn't it?
Comments: Sorry SNL - It definitely was It's a Small World and I guess I should admit that I have a watch that plays it. I used to love going to the bakery at Wynnewood. The cookies were sooooooo good  
Comments: Jack I think the ice cream place you were talking about in Wynnewood might have been Goff's.
Comments: McMakin, you're a hoot! I do remember all 3!!!
Comments: The Fuller Brush Man! Party cookies from the Wynnwood Bakery, Jan's. Flat Stomachs |
