Place: KC, MO Comments: Sandy, I don't see my name on the list. Did my check bounce? :-)
Place: Richardson Comments: If you haven't checked the "Who's Attending " list lately, the list is getting long. But not long enough! I know there are at least another 25 or more couples and a bunch of singles who usually attend that have not registered yet. I know you're coming, so get your money in! ![[smile]](/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)")
Place: Lake Tawakoni Comments: I started working at J.C. Penney Regional Credit office in 1967. I have been in the Credit/ Collection business for 49 years. My absolute favorite company was the original Cheerleader Supply Company owned by Lawrence "Herkie" Herkimer. I managed the Collection Department for Herkie. Jim Hazlewood, Herkie's brother- in - law was the V.P. Herkie made the company a fun place to work and treated his employees very well. Jim Hazlewood started his own company, Cheerleading Company, when Herkie retired and sold his company in 1987. Long story short, I am now working for Jim three days a week collecting the outstanding A/R. Once you are in the Cheerleading industry, you keep coming back.
Place: Richardson Comments: I worked 19 yrs for SWBell/AT&T. About 16 with SWBell & then went over to the AT&T side with the divestiture. I started out as a clerk and did lots of different jobs. When I left I was a Credit Mgr. Then went to work for American Bureau of Collections (ABC) as an outside Sales Mgr. Worked there 13 and a half yrs. My 3rd and last paying job in life was with Richmond North Associates where I did the same job as with ABC. Worked for RNA 11 and a half yrs. After 44 yrs, I retired. I have always been in Sales, Marketing or Collections. It's odd how those 3 entities all mesh together and you use all 3 of them to do any of those jobs. Richard, we may need you to provide tips on how your lemonade stand has been so successful. If we don't get a bunch more registrations coming in Jack & Donnie will be setting up a stand here to get more cash to pay for the reunion. Come on gang - Get those checks & forms in the mail, momma's got to pay for the hotel. ![[rolleyes]](/images/boards/smilies/rolleyes.gif "Roll Eyes - :rolleyes:")
Place: 66erville Comments: Thanks, Richard! I just knew you would help out and with something productive too.
Place: Calif. Comments: My lemonade stand. Keeps me going.
Place: 66erville Comments: Prayer for the Pulis family. With our 50th reunion coming up, I got to wondering what everyone has been doing since 1966. How about a post here or sending me an email, telling me the job you enjoyed most since leaving SOC. I mean a paying job. I know being a parent or grandparent is the best job ever, I am interested in what paid the bills. And PLEASE put it terms we can all understand. If an engineer, what kind and what did it entail. If you were/are a nephrologist or a boot shew or something along those types, please explain what you did/do. Come on, join in it will be fun! Gives us something to do till we See you in September!
Place: Hot & Sunny Comments: Wow, Shortcake, that's a lot of damage. In our neighborhood, Sachse, Murphy & Wylie, every home has roof damage and some even broken windows. The bang, bang, bang of the nail gun has been a constant since early May with no let up in sight. I too hope we've had the last big hail storm around here for many years to come. We had two in 11 days! On a sad note - James & Janis Pulis lost their dtr-n-law (Laura Pulis) to cancer on June 11. She was only 41. She had been battling the disease for about 3 years. It was posted on FB earlier today. Prayers for our classmate and his family's great loss.
Place: cypress springs Comments: Well hopefully all of the estimates have come back in and we can start getting everything fixed. The car is $11,000. If they had not already started on the repairs they would have gone ahead and totaled it. The RV is up to $14,000. That is the roof and an air conditioner. The casita had cosmetic damage and we did not get up to the deductible. I sure hope there are no more hail storms. It is bad enough getting things done here but running back and forth is a real pain.
Place: Soggy Richardson Comments: What an uplifting surprise to read Karen's post yesterday! So happy to see she is well on her way to a good recovery. And yes . . . we'll "See You In September!"
Place: Home Sweet Home in Sachse Comments: To all my dear, sweet SOC family, I wanted to take some time to let you know how much I appreciate each and eveyone of you, now that I am finally back home and getting stronger by the day. You will never know how much Mike and I appreciated your thoughts and prayers that were a key factor in my recovery. No one was more surprised than me to find that a serious problem existed but I am so grateful to God that he heard your prayers and gave me another chance. I will never forget your kindness and love through this ordeal and can't wait to give you a big hug (once my sternum is healed!) when I see you again. Sandy, Mike finally remembered to tell me that you and Don were there during my surgery. Thanks so much for that. I will be posting something similar on FB so I don't miss anyone. See you in September.
Place: Lake Tawakoni Comments: Peacefulness and serenity. Reminds me of our Smith/ Henager family reunions at Mother Neff Park. Had relatives from Waco, Belton, Moody, Crawford and McGregor there. After our family picnic, we went to the Indian cave dwellings and looked for arrowheads. We ended the reunions star gazing. Incredible, peaceful times.
Place: Richardson Comments: Wow, the KKK! We were out of town all day and until about 8 last night. Went to Don's uncle's funeral in Groesbeck, TX. Would be interesting to hear what that was all about in Quinlan. It was peaceful and serene in Groesbeck. the cemetery was so far out in the country I didn't think we'd ever get there. He was born and raised in Groesbeck so the whole town turned out.
Place: Lake Tawakoni Comments: On our way to Rockwall yesterday, we saw the Rebel Order of the KKK holding some kind of rally in Quinlan . Don't know what was going on. Do any of you know if they were on the local news? They did not wear sheets, but did the Hitler salute while waving the KKK and Rebel flags.
Place: 66erville Comments: Police report trouble at Custer & Biglow. Somebody go back to the old neighborhood? |
