Paul - I do think and pray for you each Thur & Fri.  It's good to know that by Sunday you feel human again.  You are a strong person & I know you & Kathy will beat this cancer.  Don & I will buy you & Kathy dinner & margaritas at El Fenix when you are ready to celebrate! That's a promise! [thumb]

Don has good days & not so good days.  Too much meds and he can't maneuver, too little and the pain escalates.  Each day is a challenge but, as we say, it's a work in progress.  I'm sure you face many many challenges each day.  But us '66ers are onery & tough, we just keep plugging away, don't we.

Paul - One Christmas a hundred years ago I gave my brothers either Jade East or Hai Karate. Years later Bobby confessed that the set was sold in a garage sale. I never have asked what David did with his. 😁 Both of those scents were "in" way back when, but they were very strong, as I recall. Both brothers are more the Royal Lime (spelling?) type. 🙂

Thanks so much for your prayers. I just finished day two of week two, Friday and Saturday are rough but by Sunday I am feeling good again. I have one more week in cycle one and then a week off. There will be three more cycles after that and then a bone marrow biopsy to see if we are at 10% or below. That should happen in August. God has been good to keep most of the side affects away. It is rough those first couple of days but it could be a lot worse. Keep those prayers coming. How is Don doing? I pray for the two of you and for all my classmates every day.

Paul - that made my stomach turn just reading about it!!  My sinuses are very sensitive to smells like perfume & flowers, especially roses!  I bet that was rough on an early morning flight! [eek]

Speaking of rough, how are you doing kiddo?  I know last Thru & Fri were heavy duty chemo days and I suspect this week too.  How is it going?  I still pray for you & my other SOC friends going thru bad times.

My go to place was Titche’s in Wynnewood. Used to get my clothes and an occasional bottle of Hawaiian Surf or Jade East cologne. Now about Jade East. We had a group of international pilots from a country I wont name (I have been there; you would probably not enjoy it) training in the US. They were known to substitute heavy doses of Jade East for taking showers. Imagine sharing a small cockpit with THAT.😫

Richard Nance, I remember you working at Bonds in the Sanger-Harris Shopping Center. My dad loved that store.

Thanks Jack for adding that info. You are correct as he was a Mason and a very involved and high ranking as well.  I should have said something earlier this week as my Dad was a Mason all his life and my brother still is a Mason.  My brain has been in slow gear this whole week . . .   I'm gonna blame it on the '64 55th Reunion I attended Sat night. [rolleyes] LOL  I'm not thinking very fast or moving fast either. [crazy]

Well, Richard - The 'senior moment' (... day or two) finally passed and Mary, the cashier's, last name came to me - Gorman.  Also, I mentioned 'Harry' Trotter in Men's hats, but his 1st name was 'Walter'.  However, it was Cunningham who twisted our arms into wearing those dress hats.

You mentioned Bill Chisholm was a piece of work - you got that right.  Bill deserved to die one day while we were on the job together at the DT store, but I'll e-mail you about it separately.  If I could've 'let go' and grabbed his throat ... ! [sneaky]

Bill Chisolm; now he was a piece of work.  They moved him to the OC store and I worked with him; my dad managed the OC store for 15 years.  Cunningham (my first supervisor in furn.) started at the OC store and moved DT.  Those hats were always the style back then....sort of coming back now for both men and women.  You have a great memory for names.

Richard - Wow, I'd forgotten Bond's had an OC location til now!  But, I recall dropping by the OC store while home on leave & saw Bill Chisholm, who used to be our Shoe Dept Mgr downtown. 

Other downtown names I recall, besides Joe Lombard: Perry White (Asst. Store Mgr), Howard Cunningham (Men's Furnishings, plus my & Duane's boss), Al Ruiz (Asst. to Cunningham), Maude Spradlin, Mary ? (Cashier), and Harry Trotter (Men's Hats). 

Duane & I were both 'sold' on the idea of buying & wearing a slim-brimmed felt men's dress hat to & from work to sort of make a fashion statement, I guess.  I took mine off as soon as I got on the bus leaving downtown for OC, so I wouldn't get laughed outa the neighborhood if seen wearing it. [sneaky]

Well, Don I was at the OC Bond store (Sanger-Harris Center).  I also worked at the downtown store in the credit dept. for a while.  Joe Lombard managed that store.  Small world.

Very sorry to hear of Charles Terry's passing.  I remember him, but we didn't run around together.  I'm not familiar with all the organizations & abbreviations mentioned in his obit, but he was obviously quite active & involved throughout his life.  I didn't find his Senior photo in the ’66 Den, but his Junior photo is shown in the ’65 Den.

I was also in the Distributed (Distributive?) Education (DE) program, under Mr. Dyer.  As Richard said, we left school after lunch to go jobs the program helped coordinate.  Managers reported on our performance, which was factored into our grade for the semester.  Duane Chafin & I both worked at Bond's Clothing store on Main St., downtown. 

I'll send a copy of this to the SOC '66 Vets listing for others who may not visit the GB often.

Well, darn; Charles Terry is gone.  He was my closest friend growing up in the Russell/Storey days as he lived less than half a block away from us.  We rode our bikes all over SOC (not the school), and beyond.  We sort of lost touch during HS days as he was on a program that let him out early to go to a job, and then the Navy came along, etc. etc.  Someone who visits this site is his cousin (a female) though I don't remember who it was.  Sorry to hear this.
