Place: Richardson Comments: Well Rod, I still have 2-3 friends from my work before I retired. My HQ was in Buffalo. Made for some interesting week long Sales meetings. Especially when they held the meetings in January!! I'm FB friends with them and was shocked on Wed & Thur when they started posted pics from out their front & back windows. 2 of them had over 6 feet and the other in another area only had 3 feet. Those guys are tough!!! But don't bring 'em here during a TX July . . . . they'll melt!! They even had to move the Bills/Jets game from Buffalo to Detroit bec the stadium was filled with snow and no place to put it even if they could get it out. Humid & damp here in our area. Waiting for the rain that's supposed to start tonight with a lot tomorrow. We can only hope.
Place: Oregun Comments: Speaking of cold, how is everyone in the heavy snow areas doing ? In 1969 we had 4' here in Eugene and it pretty much stopped everything, I can't imagine having to deal with 6-8 feet.
Place: Sofa Comments: We just had a freeze, Rod.
Place: Oregun Comments: Hey, did Texas close for the winter ? It's pretty dead when an Oregon guy has to ask. Hope everyone is doing OK and Richard, I hope you are hanging in there, I know it can't be easy.
Place: Richardson Comments: Eddie, it's so nice to hear from you. I'm sure it has been tough since Barbara passed away more than a year ago. Seems like it was only a few months ago. I would love to see you, as would lots of your old SOC friends. I'll contact you before our next get-together and try to talk you in to coming. Do take care of yourself. We continue to pray for God to help Richard and you as you go forward, but it can't be easy for either of you.
Place: Mesquite Texas Comments: Richard Nance so sorry buddy to hear of your terrible loss. I Just now found out about it. As you know I too lost my Barbara last year to Cancer and I can imagine how your feeling at this time. Just wanted to say I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers and I pray with God's help you can find peace and strength again in your life.
Place: McKinney Texas Comments: Talking about Veteran's Day and Viet Nam; my stepbrother, Ronnie McElroy was killed at the battle of Hue. He was an only child and his mother had died when he was 13. He had just turned 24 and had 6 hours left graduating college. He joined the Marines and gave his country the Ultimate Sacrifice. A week after he joined the Marines he received his deferment letter. I still remember everything about that time. My professor at UTA talking against the war. A couple years later I worked with young people that were against the war. Once when they were badmouthing the war, I asked them if they knew anyone that had been killed and they said, "No." I told them that I had and who it was. They never mentioned anything about the war around me again. Now, fortunately, people in general support the troops, even though they might not support the ongoing war.
Place: McKinney TX Comments: Richard, So sorry for your loss; your wife was so sweet and funny. I met her at one of our mini's and she was delightful. Please know that I will be praying for your family.
Place: Cypress Springs Comments: We also have our fireplace going. We were in Dallas yesterday. Went to lunch with mom for Bobbys birthday ...it is tmr. Had planned a party here unknown to him but I cancelled that since Peg was helping me with that. I thought about bob hook Tuesday also. I tried to find some of the pictures from when we went out but when mom and dad moved once they left a bunch of things in the attic so goodbye pics! I heard you guys had some sleet up there after we left on Wednesday. So glad it waited! You guys stay warm.
Place: Richardson Comments: How funny Sammy. But I know what you mean about the voting dilemma. I hate it when the Props are worded so that if you vote YES you are voting against doing something and if you No you are voting for it! ![[crazy]](/images/boards/smilies/crazy.gif "Crazy - :crazy:") I guess you can be surprised at what eventually goes in on the cleared lot. We turned our fireplace on yesterday too. feels good of a morning while reading the paper.
Place: Freezing at the Lake Comments: So I 'm sitting in front of the fire place looking across the field in front of my house.There is someone clearing the field. Reflecting on the recent election and a local proposition that stated " A vote for a law against the vote for a tax restriction law for county funds for the establishment against a residual tax for the purpose for and against using said tax for uses for non private organizations" Yes or No. At this point, I'm not for sure if a bordello or a church is being constructed across the street, and I'm certain I voted for it!
Place: Brrrrrr in Richardson Comments: Something to brighten your day - - - - Ck out the front pg of the Business section of the Dallas Morning News today. It has a great story about a SOC grad who is doing great things! His name is Casey Gerald. He's a SOC 2005 grad, graduated with a degree from Yale in 2009, worked 2 yrs and then graduated from Harvard in 2014. Do read the story in the DMN, or look it up on-line, because it will make you proud. Remember his name, because it's better to brag about Casey Gerald than sheepishly admitting Dennis Rodman came from SOC!!
Place: Garland USA Comments: Richard, we are so very sorry for your loss. We will keep you and your beautiful family in our thoughts and prayers. We all feel privileged to have met Mary Ann.
Place: Richardson Comments: Yes, today we should be thankful to all our veterans. Young, old, active or inactive. Let's be especially grateful to those, Like Bob Hook, who lost their lives and to those who died later resulting from injuries and trauma directly related to their service. The Viet Nam War was a long, tough road and many of our friends are still suffering today from wounds that are both visible and invisible. Thank you to all the men and women who have, and still do, serve our country! God Bless You and the USA.
Place: Kenosha, WI Comments: The Vietnam War was the most unpopular and divisive conflict our country, and those that served, has ever had to endure.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude and love for the sacrifice and service the men and women from the South Oak Cliff HS Class of 1966 have given to our great nation. And as a special remembrance to those who made the ultimate sacrifice I ask that that you pray for Bob Hook and never forget his legacy that was left for all remaining classmates to pass on to future generations. May God Bless Bob and all of our classmates who are no longer with us and protect them as they complete the journey of life. And God Bless America. |
