Place: The Woodlands, TX Comments: Not sure what class he would have been part of, but here is a little info on Wilson "Butch" Roe who drowned in 1965: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=65539598
Place: Richardson Comments: Roe & Rod - I just finished looking thru all our reunion books, deceased lists and our 3 Dens. The only place I found Wilson Roe was a photo in our Soph Den. Perhaps he did pass away early in our Soph yr. So nice of you guys to remember him.
Place: Oregun Comments: I remember Wilson drowning while we were still at SOC. He would have been a 66'er as he was in our class to start with. I'm not sure what year but it was before '68 because I was there when it happened, and I left in '66 for El Paso, then back to Oregon. He should be in one of the Dens from '64 or '65.
Place: Richardson Comments: Roe - I don't remember a Wilson Roe. Couldn't find him on the graduation list or in the Den. Was he a '66er? Man, that hailstorm in our area Wed night was a doozy! It really hit Plano, Richardson, Murphy, Sachse & Wylie hard. Adjusters are all over our neighborhood. We checked our roof today and it has dimples all in it on the west side. All the fences look like Jack's photo on FB, they are all pock-marked! Looks like a hammer was taken to them. I'm thankful no shingles flew off and no windows were broken. My flowers are gone . . . just a few stems left. But I can plant again and the leaves on the trees will come back.
Place: DeKalb, Tx Comments: Susan, U R right we R in our Golden Years. I noticed Wilson Roe is not on the list, he drowned in 68 at the gravel pitts off hwy 175. Will this list please stop growing?
Place: North Richland Hills Comments: Believe it or not, I'm checking in! I just looked over the In Memoriam page. That list sure is getting long! Very sad. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 9th!
Place: Calif. Comments: Happy St. Pat's Day all, and Sláinte (to your health, or cheers). My mother spoke a little of the "old language".
Place: Richardson Comments: Today marks 7 yrs since my Dad passed away from complications of Alzheimer's. It was a hard 15 yrs for him and us. But the irony of it is that he's Irish. He had red hair, green eyes and yes, he loved his beer! So what more appropriate day than St. Patrick's Day. I posted a TBT pic on FB. Here's to you Dad . . . Happy St. Patrick's Day to All.
Place: Richardson Comments: Sammy - It does seem that it's always on the residents side. But we didn't even call the plumber until early Monday as weren't about to pay "overtime" charges. He did come out early Monday and we got away with $251 total for the whole thing. I'm definitely keeping his name & # as he was good and didn't rip us off. He came recommended by a neighbor.
Place: The Lake Comments: Sandy, your story is déjà vu all over again. The exact same thing happened to Sarah and I when we lived in Coppell. The water leak at the meter was 1/8th of an inch on our side. It was on a Sunday and we had the audacity to call "Joe the plumber" right in the middle of his Ribeye steak lunch. Soooooo, $475.00 later, leak fixed. Sounds like to me plumbers have a deal with cities. Just sayin.
Place: Water flowing in Richardson Comments: Yeah!!! Water line fixed and we're back in business. Oh how fortunate we are to have water with the touch of a handle . . . makes me realize how good we have it! ![[smile]](/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)") Hey . . . Anyone wrapping empty boxes yet?? I have collected 5 boxes in the last few days. Going to the Dollar Store later today to look for pretty paper. ![[idea]](/images/boards/smilies/idea.gif "Idea - :idea:")
Place: No Water - Richardson Comments: Got a hold of plumber this morning & he's working us in as has full load today. Area dug out & broken pipe removed. Has to go get a new connector to fit. Supposed to have water before end of day. Man, this is like being at my Grandmas house back in Arkansas before she had plumbing! You don't realize what all is affected by not having water!
Place: Richardson Comments: Hooray for the sunshine! Late yesterday we had a big water issue. At 4:30pm went to get the mail and saw all this water standing on the sidewalk. Our sidewalk has sunk there anyway so water will stand for awhile when it rains. But this was different and it didn't rain here yesterday. Told Don I think we have a meter leak. After checking everything out and eating supper, we took another look and Oh Yeah, big time leak. Called City, they came out within 45 min. Pumped water out, turned off water and said, the bad leaking/broken pipe is on YOUR side! No water & it's Sunday. Hopefully tomorrow will get a repair and water back on.
Place: Richardson Comments: I think it's finally stopped raining!! have a little sun peeking out. Sammy, nice talking with you yesterday & thrilled to hear the good news about your foot. Looking forward to seeing you & Sarah , and hopefully Shirley & Marvin Mullins too, at the Mini. Lots of you have emailed to let me know you'd bring several small boxes all wrapped in Gold paper. It will really help and be appreciated. I'd hate for Barb to have to wrap 50-60 boxes all by herself!! LOL LOL Mark your calendar for April 9th - Spring Mini. And don't forget to Spring Forward tonight for DST!
Place: Lake Tawakoni Comments: Sarah and I sent our pictures to Don last week for the 50th. For those of you who haven't yet, now would be a good time. September will be here before you know it and no point in scurrying the last minute. This will be a great presentation for all to see. Got a good report from my foot doctor last week for my 4th post op visit. He said I can drive again, despite Sarah's strong objections. He wrote her a prescription for chill pills. See you guys at the spring mini. |
