Folks - If you read Rick Mitchell's obituary, near the bottom it stated:
“In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to the SPCA of Dallas.” 

If you're considering this, here's the mailing address:

SPCA of Texas - Dallas Location
Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center
2400 Lone Star Dr.
Dallas, TX 75212

I noticed their website had a donation portal, but it was not secure.

For those attending his service tomorrow at D/FW National Cemetery, I'll be there.

Greetings Friends,

Wow I haven't been on here in ages... shame on me[rolleyes]! I have always kept up with everyone on FB. I was hacked big time a couple of months ago. Someone has control of my account. Trying to get help has been a nightmare. Deleted my account two times... but to no avail. I was told that if all my friends on FB would send a report that someone has control of my FB, they would delete account and I can start over. If you have time, I would appreciate your help. My contact information is 713-557-0861 or mgoins64@att.net. Just goggle FB Hacked.

So sorry to read the loss of so many friends. Seems to be the season of our lives... it STINKS! 

On a happier note.... I ran into Janice Scallion in the Costco parking lot a month ago... then again last week. So excited to see her and we live very close to one another. We are planning a get together soon. She reminded me about the reunion but, Bill was having surgery. He had to have a peacemaker put in. Nothing wrong with his heart, it was his pulse that was too low. He has always had what is known as a athletic heart, which is low pulse. He is a endorphin junky and swimming is his drug! Can't swim for three months pretty pissed off about that but, he is walking a couple of miles a day. The man is turning 85 in December and still is the ever ready bunny.

Hope to make the fall mini!

Love and hugs to all.

Mary

Yes, Rick Mitchell was a very good man.  He was kind, very smart, caring and yet so soft spoken.  The loss of Rick is a real heart breaker.  Prayers for Brenda & the rest of his family.

Thank you Don for the call & for posting this.  I can't believe Rick Michell is gone.  He drug himself to our Mini because he wanted to see everyone even though he was in severe pain due to his knees. 

My heart is broken, again, and I'm just devastated.  Don L. will post the Family Visitation and other info as soon as Brenda, Rick's wife, makes the arrangements and gives it to Don. RIP and say hello to Odis, Randy and David.

Folks - 

It is with deep sadness that I forward this excerpt from an e-mail I received a short while ago from Brenda Mitchell:

“Don, thanks so much for talking with me.  I'm so glad I was able to get ahold of you.
Rick passed away Tuesday night, June 14, from a heart attack.
The funeral home will be posting information on their web site as soon as I finalize everything.
The funeral home is Emerald Hills Funeral Home, Kennedale TX.
He will be buried at the DFW Cemetery on June 27 at 1:00.
I'll send more information as things get finalized.
Thank you so much.  I feel so much better knowing I have your help.”

I'm feeling pretty gut-shot since speaking with Brenda and trying to come to grips with the loss of a dear friend and anther fellow vet.  I promised I'd help in any way I could and she's free to call anytime, day or night.

More to follow as I receive updates ...

Shortcake, hearing what a good time you all had makes me 😭 and El Fenix and I are very old pals.  I will make sure (as much as anyone can) our schedule in the Fall locks in our attendance.  I am glad everyone had a good, no make that great, time.
Sad, but glad for all of you.

We had a really great time talking with everyone at the mini.  Dinner at El Fenix was, as always great and brought back great memories.  Really missed some of our regulars.  Hope you are doing well and can join us next time.

thanks for all the work planning it Sandy.  It was well worth it.

the heat is on . . .  hope everyone's A/C is working!  I just finished posting the name of a good friend on the "In Memoriam" page.  You'd think it would get easier after more than 100 . . . but it  doesn't.  RIP Sammy, you are dearly missed.

Richard, my heart goes out to you as it can't be easy to stay there in your town where you primarily live and see and feel all the sadness and anger that's everywhere.  Uvalde will never be the same. [frown]

I had to get away from Uvalde again for a few days. It’s my father’s birthday so I visited the family gravesite at Laurel Land where many SOCites have loved ones. Then I drove over to Kiest Park where everyone used to drive around endlessly on weekends looking for love….or underage beer donations, etc. Took a photo of the old pavilion where my band, Stevie Ray, and others had impromptu unauthorized performances in the 1960’s. Our elders would slip us free beers as compensation for our music. With the references to beer, yes I realize I sound like a certain US Supreme Court Justice 😉⚖️
