Richard,

Just as long as you didn't use it as a substitute for showering ☔️😉.

I generally wore all you guys have named, usually at the same time. I took no chances. But, I was a Jade East Lime guy.

Don,

Thanks for sharing some great memories. Tichee-Goochygoo. Ahh, Brut and English Leather...potent, poignant and pervasive.

Jack,

I guess you had more class than the rest of us. 💂‍♀️🇬🇧💷

Don, he must not have had a Masonic funeral. If he had he would have been buried in that apron.
Gee, was I the only guy buying/wearing British Stirling?

Jack - Thanks for the clarification. Since then, I recalled that a box of items recovered from my mother included my maternal grandfather's Mason apron and I believe there was a also certificate. I'll have to take another look to see if I can tell what his standing was.

Paul - My maternal grandmother worked at the downtown Titches store for many years. I found a link to this old postcard that includes a little history below it: https://www.deviantart.com/yesterdays-paper/art/Vintage-Texas-Titche-Goettinger-Dallas-TX-679570732. I recall she used to make fun of the store name by calling it 'Teechy Go-Tinger'.

Do y'all remember how all these old dept stores used to clip the sales slip & money together, then sent it over your head by wire to the cashier's office? Anyone else besides me think about jumping up & snatching the money as it sailed by? Then, someone invented pneumatic tubes, so never mind.

Paul - I can't recall the time-frame, but besides Jade East, there was also an English Leather period. The halls & classrooms seemed to be drunk on various aromas - might've even included some Hai Karate! Here are a few: https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/6-forgotten-drugstore-colognes-and-aftershaves/

Paul - If you're in my town visiting . . . I'm going to do the buying! I insist!

My payment/reward for doing the leg work and discussing/negotiating with the hotels is getting to see all of you. It's very rewarding and heart-wrming to have SOCites like you, Carol C, Richard N, Cathy N, Ada Ann, Randall S, Don L. and all the others who drive/fly great distances to make these get-togethers and other events.

I know it takes extra time, effort and money to make the trips and I so appreciate seeing all of y'all. So, we'll keep hangin' in there and praying for some better days for all of us. In the meantime, I'm going to try to better enjoy those "good days" that are scattered in between those not so good days.

PS. I can relate to Don’s good day/bad day routine. Am glad he does have good days sprinkled in. I guess we 66ers are a pretty tough bunch...these days we HAVE to be. 🤜🤛💪

Carol,

Jade East—STRONG yes

Hai Karate — remember the name, but not the fragrance

Royal Lime — as I recall very pleasant

English Leather — another power fragrance as I recall

Sandy,

You still have not let me buy YOU dinner for all the hard work you do for us...but, of course, if you insist...😏

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!

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!

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.

LOL I'm not thinking very fast or moving fast either.
