Place: Overland Park, KS Comments: I’m so sad to learn of Rick’s passing. What a good man he was. 😢
Place: NH Comments: I am so sorry to hear about Ricky. He was a good guy.
Place: Another classmate gone Comments: 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.
Place: Lago Vista, TX Comments: 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.
Place: OKC Comments: 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. Paul
Place: Kerrville Comments: 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.
Place: Richardson Comments: 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.
Place: Richardson Comments: 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]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/frown.gif "Frown - :(")
Place: Uvalde Comments: 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 😉⚖️
Place: Richardson Comments: Tomorrow we say our goodbyes to our longtime friend, Sammy R. Smith. It still doesn't seem real, but it won't be the same without his smiling face. If you are attending tomorrow, Don and I will see you there in Quitman.
Place: LV, TX Comments: I e-mailed this to our vets on my e-mail DL already. This is the YouTube Memorial Day tribute to veterans who died in Vietnam and were graduates of SOC classes 1963-1967. May God bless them and the families and friends they left behind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K4OJxsYCSE
Place: Richardson Comments: It's great to learn from so many here and on FB that they had as great a time Saturday as I did! I had so much fun seeing and talking with everyone, it did my heart good! Thanks for posted Lynell, John, Larry, Carol B, Carol C, Karen and all the notes on FB. We will do it again in the Fall. One last time for you newbies, go to any page on our site and put your cursor over the tab that says "Our Photos". 3 options will appear under it, click on Mini Get-Togethers" and all our mini photos will appear. If you want to understand why these Minis are so important to attend . . . Just scroll down the page and look at the last Mini or even the one before that and see how many people have passed away since then! Each Mini is important, you may not get a chance to see a good friend at the next one.
Place: The Woodlands, TX Comments: Memo To: Carol Bolton Maxey Thank you for the nice comment below. I'm not really that "funny", I just have a mouth that rats me out whenever my brain is off duty (which is frequently). Looks like you traveled quite a ways to hang with your old SOC buddies. I admire your gregarious spirit! Rest assured we shall meet in the future; or at the least on Facebook.
Place: The Texas Panhandle (brrr!) Comments: SNL, what a great turn-out! Loved the shots you posted. But mostly, I enjoyed all the stories & laughter. I needed that. There just wasn't enough time to make the rounds. It was wonderful to visit with old friends again (Karen, Larry, Richard, Barb, Don, Bovie, etc.) and some new ones too! And like I mentioned on FB before the event, we have a "common history" leading up to and including our years at SOC...that's what matters most. By the way, I'm sorry I missed meeting you, John Southworth. I know you don't know me at all, but your FB comments always crack me up. You're so spot-on funny ![[smile]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)") , and I'm like: "I wish I'd said that". Kindest regards to everyone; hopefully we'll do this again some day! P. S. Enjoy the "read", Sandy.
Place: Galveston Comments: The photos look great Sandy. A wonderful job as always. Mike and I really enjoyed attending the event and loved seeing everyone. Don’t know how I missed seeing Linda Rich.And sorry I didn’t get to talk with Lynell from ‘63 because I always enjoy her funny posts. It’s hard to believe that we have been able to maintain friendships for so many years. Hope we can make the next one. |
