Comments: I remember, Toni, and Levines and the Western Auto store by the Crest Theater. There was also a Griffs at Lancaster and Kiest. The bowling alley at the LK shopping center. I know we've gone over all of these places, but I like to refresh my memory....or is that reboot?
Comments: James Young.....of course, we've gone over this material before but when we have new additions to the GB, we all enjoying catching them up! I love strolling down memory lane over and over again. Sandy McM, I remember the name Rucker....seems like I was in the Brownies and Girl Scouts with someone with that last name....oh wait, that was the Roper twins! Okay, JY, I'm repeating myself too but when Jada mentioned the Vaughns, it brought back memories of me babysitting for them....for Stevie Ray! My brother-in-law, Roger, went to school with him at Kimball. Ladies, I lived on the other end of Sutter closer to the shopping center. I lived across the street from the Shinns-Linda- and the Colemans-Alice! Do any of you remember them? Do you remember the 7-11 with the garage door pull down front door....the first Pizza Inn on Lancaster Rd.....Margo's where they served bottled Coke while you shopped....Polar Bear Ice Cream....the original Golden Arches north of Cedar Crest Shopping Center...and what about Skillerns....Wyatt Food Stores....Wyatt's Cafeteria....the Morris Store? I think I just about covered the shopping center, well except for the A&P and the notorious Crest Theatre!   Were the Darnells related to the Donni Darnell who was Mark Wilson's wife - the Dallas magician??
Comments: SAndy, Do you know Roger Creager and Aaron Watson? They both have some really funny songs --as does Kevin Fowler who will be in Dallas-- he has one called "beer bait and ammo". Roger Creager has one called LOVE-- then says "Love, is not what this song's about" Anyway-- some great Texas musicians. Actually listened to Aaron Watson on my mp3 player walking to work today. And, Robert Earl Keen has been coming to NYC ,as does Jerry Jeff--we have seen both a few times but Jerry Jeff is a little ornery. The crowd was filled with old drunk Texan New York men-- the worst of both worlds in this case -- loud, drunk and pushy -- and Jerry Jeff, rather than just ignore them got mad at them. REK just goes with the flow. But he is SOOO loud I don't think I can go back again. Last time I got physically ill from the noise.--well, maybe we should just go in the back next time instead of standing by the speakers!!!
Comments: Memo to John Southworth: Since you seem to be too lazy to dig out your "old" computer and too cheep to have the geek squad come fix it so you could up date your popular and always interesting site, how about an update on PFC Matt? We like to keep track of our servicemen and women. If it is not prying, how is your daughter doing??
Comments: Who knew... Sally is a C&W music fan! I was brought up on C&W, good stuff!
Comments: Sally, no new young singers...give me Willie Nelson or George Strait any day. Buddy, there was a picture that always hung in Dr. Hamby's office of a dentist examining a little boy dressed in a cowboy suite. My husband is a dentist and I always looked for that pic. for him. Many years ago, the Hambys had a yard sale and my Mother went to it....there was the picture, she bought it and it has always hung in Joe's office.
Comments: And Dr. Chester was my sunday school teacher ( I think?). He believed in evolution-- Presbyterian--remember it as part of a lesson on Genesis. BTW, I am jealous of all Dallasites. THis weekend many of Texas' best known (young) country western singers are at the so-called Mardi Gras celebration somewhere in Fair Park-- so jealous. Roger Creager and Aaron Watson etc
Comments: Chester Clinic, Lancaster-Kiest Shopping Center and Herman's Hardware. Wasn't Karen Dollar married to Butch Arnold when we were Soph's ????? I'm almost positive we have covered this before.
Comments: Ada Ann Dr Hamby was our family dentist. Judy Hamby was a good friend at Tech. Always a big Holmes man. I think his son was the basketball coach at Holmes. Chester Clinic O MY
Comments: Memo To SNL: Suzanne Darnell's church is called "Church of the Red Rocks". You may be confusing it with that little bar down the street named "Ernie's Church on the Rocks"?
Comments: This GB not only Rocks, it also Rolls quite quickly!! Yesterday was 7 and a half pgs!! Wow! No wonder we're the most active GB from all the classes. This new GB was activated Sept 1, 2007 & we've already hit more than 3300 posts!!  So Don, you'll have to be a little quicker on your after thoughts as the 29th was more than 10 pgs ago!!  aaaahhhh Sedona . . . wish I was there right now! Still the prettiest place I've ever been. The name of the church where Suzanne plays is The Church on the Rocks!
Comments: And, Sandy McM, piano lessons on the corner of Bonnie View and Kiest. Miss Francis....she gave lessons there in the summer and at WBM during the school year. Did you go to Dr. Hamby at Chester Clinic for a dentist?
Comments: David M., for blues, have you ever been to Hole in the Wall...in North Dallas. My brother in law, Bob, plays with Big Daddy and the Swell Tones. The family (Wingate) lived near the Vaughns (Stevie Ray and Jimmie). Bob remains friends with Jimmie and was with Stevie Ray. Several years ago went to Jimmie's wedding in the hill country. Bob played with several groups in the 60s in Oak Cliff...from Kimball.
Comments: Suzanne Darnell does look like her Mother. What happened to Don Darnell? What about the Van Arsdales? Didn't they live in Cedar Crest? Yes, I remember the Dollars. Bobby Lichestine also lived on Van Cleve, Cindy Smith and Bobby Pinkston...had older brother named Scotty. Memories......
Comments: The rest of the story – H a p p y 36th A n n i v e r s a r y !!! to Jerry & Joyce Tillery, married at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Houston, TX at 7:00 PM on January 29, 1972. Congratulations & best wishes for many more! |
