We're going to have a Girl's Luncheon on Saturday, July 20th, so start making plans to attend!  We had a great turn-out last July so hope to see all of you again . . . plus more!  Will probably be at the Southern Recipe like last year, but will give all the details later.

Right now, mark your calendar for Saturday, July 20th, at 11:30am.  Let's eat, drink and have some fun!

After reading Chris’ obit, I noticed he was a Vietnam combat vet. But, I wasn’t aware of this previously, so he’s not included in our military vets roster.
Do y’all have any details of his service or know of someone who may?

After posting the Memorial Day slide- show on YouTube, I returned to catch-up on previous posts.
I’m very sorry to hear the sad news of classmates passing, Chris Oefinger & Sandra Hurley, as well as our good friend, Bill Smith. My sincere condolences to friends and families

Thank you. Yes, he gave me kisses until the very end.  He knew how much I loved him. It's tough on the heart.

Sandy…so sorry. Kathy and I have been through a similar situation WAY TOO MANY times. When you develop a real connection with your pets it is way too tough to lose them. I’d like to think that the way we feel about them indicates something special about us.

It's with great sadness & a broken heart I let you know our sweet precious Tiger kitty passed away a little earlier today. He had a purr that sounded like a Mercedes. I will miss him next to me at night purring me to sleep. He was my buddy and my heart is broken.  No, I don't want to talk about it.

Thursday morning my brother's home regained power! He was so happy. They spent 2 days and nights here because their neighborhood and even his ofc were without power.  He came home to everything in his Fridge and deep freeze ruined!! Some still don't have power today.

Our neighborhood, like so many, are piled high with trees and brush for pickup.  What a mess. But we're very thankful we never lost power and we didn't loose any large tree branches, just tons of smaller ones.  Many of our neighbors lost entire trees.

My brother & his wife have been without power since before dawn Tuesday morning.  they came over last night and hoping for power today.  Nada!  Oncor is "working on it" and hopes to have all power restored by Friday.  The biggest concern is all the food in his Fridge & freezer. his whole neighborhood is out.  He lives in Lake Highlands in Dallas.  At least his home is in tack without damage and we're enjoying having them here for a good visit.

in my area of Richardson we all have power.  Thank goodness!!  But most of Dallas & Plano and Garland don't Our neighborhood is littered with trees and alleys blocked, BUT no roofs were damage and everyone is OK.  Just a lot of stuff to cleanup. My bro & his wife are on the way over as they lost power at 6am this morning and still nothing.  Didn't want them in that hot house all night.  Finally got them to head on over for supper and some cool air.  they'll stay the night.  Gotta  go.

Sandy, Was planning to write the guidebook to check on all of you after watching the national news and saw your note. Is everyone ok? I pray so. Paul

Paul, certainly glad y'all escape that really large hail and you are safe.  We're in a good spot here in E. Richardson.  We did get some heavy rain and very high gusty winds move thru here from about 5:15am until 8am. Down tree branches, some large, all over neighborhood. Our trees only lost small branches and tons of leaves. No roof damage and no hail.  And, we still have electricity!!  Many in Dallas, Plano and Garland have no power!  Unfortunately, weatherman says another storm will move thru DFW area tonight with more of the same.  Really wish Spring would be over .  .  .

We are fine Sandy, thank you. The storms have been veering northeast or southeast of us. It has been amazing. We have had 95 tornado warnings in the state this year. We are truly grateful.

Nice to hear from you Paul.  I saw where OKC has had more than it's fair share of storms and large hail.  I know yo live just N. of OKC but it looked very severe on the radar map.  How did your & Kathy's home do and are y'all OK?  Did you escape the large hail, sure hope so!

Most people under 50 today have no idea what our generation went thru or what our parents endured.  War is hell and there's no clear winner, everyone suffers. God Bless the USA!

There is no greater love than this than a person lay down their life for a friend. Jesus was saying this about the incredible sacrifice HE was preparing to make but it applies to our veterans as well. 🫡🇺🇸

Greetings all – Here’s the link to view the YouTube slide-show for all known SOC vets whose lives were lost in Vietnam:

I’ve already e-mailed this to all SOC '66 vets.

Please remember to fly your flags today and observe a moment of silence as a tribute to all our fallen classmates.

Best regards to all.  – Don
