We had one of our deputies shot and killed while on a traffic stop early this AM. Chris Dickerson age 28 with a wife and two small children. The actor was caught in Shreveport and will be brought back for Capital Murder of a Peace Officer. Chris was with the SO for 8 years and was a member for 6 years as a fellow member of the Carthage FD. Great young family man and community minded. Giving back to the City/County. Tragic loss and just heartbroken.
Prayers for our SO, FD and County.

Not sure if any of you have noticed but, a week or so before Christmas, I had SSL added to our site.  That stands for "Secure Sockets Layer" and it gives us a secure protocol when on our website. With all the scamming & info stealing going on in the world I thought it was time to make us more secure.

For those not familiar with a Secure site, you need only look at the URL.  Instead of having a "http://"  it will have "https://"  the "s" indicates a secure site as well as the icon of the lock.

Hope everyone has a safe New Year's Eve and look forward to lots of get-togethers with our SOC family of friends in 2020!

Annette is correct. Sidney did go to Oliver. I have a Student Directory from our Soph year at SOC and he lived on the end of Kushla close to Pentagon Pkwy.
Who spent the first semester of First grade at Lisbon and then went to Oliver for the rest of Elementary school. Annette and Dale Smiley may have. I know there were several.

I remember Sydney being a smart student at Clara Oliver.  Very nice person, and sad to hear of his death.

Thank You Jerry & Jack for the b-day wishes!  Yes, Jerry has always referred to us as twins because we were born on the same day at the same hospital.  But since Jerry is still celebrating his 40th b-day .  .  .  I'm beginning to look like the older twin!  Hey Jerry, hope it's a good one for you today, as every day is a good one! [thumb]

I too am grateful for still having friends from as far back as Lisbon, Zumwalt & SOC.  Having this '66 Gang as my friends as got me thru a lot of bad times.  May each of you have a safe and joyful Christmas!  Here's to Good Friends, may we always have each others back!  May God Bless us with love, peace and health!

A very Happy 32nd Anniversary of your 40th Birthday, Jerry and a very happy birthday to Sandy aka SNL. It's been a while since our meeting at Lisbon. Shoot, it's been a while since SOC. But here we are, still friends and celebrating. Thanks to you and all you others for being my friend. Merry Christmas and hopes for a great new year.

Well today is the day.  I am wishing my old friend SNL a Happy Birthday.  As some  of you know we have referred to each other as twins for years.  However, I quit having birthdays several years ago.  So today is the 32nd anniversary of my 40th birthday.  That way I can tell everyone that I am not getting older.
Also, A MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my old friends from SOC.

So glad to hear that lots of friends will be attending the SOC event in January. Sing the school songs extra loud so that those of us who won't be there can hear you. We all are Golden Bears 🐻 forever! ❤️

For those of you who may not be on FB - - -  they have finished the long over due renovations to SOC!  There will be a ribbon cutting open house on Saturday, Jan 11, 2020 a 11:00am.  Myself and several other '66ers, as well as many others from other SOC years, are planning to attend.

I think it will be great to see how they have completely renovated our old school that was in such disrepair!  Hope to see many of you there on the 11th!
