   Don...

   Yes, Gary was my cousin and he passed this past Nov. He’s the same person in your photo, went
   to SOC HS and was in the U.S. Army about those dates.

   He had a lengthy illness prior to his death and is buried in Brigham Cemetery near         
   Commerce/Greenville, TX.

   I didn’t attend SOC. I was Waxahachie ‘69 and UT Arlington ‘74. Will retire from UT Austin next   
   month.

   All the best."

H a p p y  40th A n n i v e r s a r y to Ronney & Connie McKee, married on this date, St. Patrick's Day, 1979, at Highland Park United Methodist Church, Dallas, TX. 

Congratulations to you both and we send our best wishes that you celebrate many more!

Thanks, Paul! 

Looking forward to seeing you at the  mini.  I heard a rumor that we're sliding out afterward and heading over to El Fenix to 'coat our tummies'.  Maybe they'll mix up some ghost pepper salsa to help beef-up your stem cells.  That's bound to ward off anything that even attempts to approach your immune system while it's rebooting.  

Coincidentally, Kathy and I are also celebrating our anniversary today.  We were married in 1996, just before I retired from the CG. 

For the location, we chose one of our favorite historical sites, Oak Alley Plantation, along the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.  It's noted for the quarter mile of overarching giant live oak trees, believed to be nearly 300 years old: http://www.oakalleyplantation.org/photo-gallery

So, we decided to invite our families and take our vows in front of the main entrance beneath the canopy of live oaks (from Kathy's FB page): https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2398908340119940&set=a.101154186562045&type=3&eid=ARA0OUdktVGdgcwQbSA-3w0iHEpqAMj12IZzjOGupZprB7akH2P7Hdo6CQJIjD36DWQ0eY XvcYGvScJV

H a p p y  A n n i v e r s a r y  to Alvin & Diane Rogers, married on this date in 2011. 

Alvin previously posted here: “My niece was going to get married in Vegas, so Diane and I decided that was just as good a time as any.  So upon arrival in Las Vegas we picked up our marriage certificate and went to the Little White Chapel and had the drive through ceremony.  By the way my niece's ceremony was at the Viva Las Vegas Chapel and an Elvis impersonator performed her ceremony, really a fun wedding.” 

Congratulations and best wishes for many more celebrations!

H a p p y  BELATED B i r t h d a y  wishes go out to Sandra McMakin Crowe, for 3/12! 

Sandy – I'm very sorry for getting this posted late.  We hope you had a great one and that we’ll see you at the mini in April. 

Best now wishes and for many more to come!
