Place: Allen, TX Comments: Jack Hawkins, you are SO right about Janie Jones Gann. She is an angel in her devotion to Steve. She recently told me that she loves Steve more today than she did when they got married. And, she added that she never thought that would be possible. Janie is a testimony to all of us about being dedicated to our loved ones, no matter what the circumstances. God bless you Janie. Always remember how much your fellow SOCites love you and Steve. Steve was always so nice to me in school. And, I have not forgotten his kindness.
Place: Southlake Tx Comments: Rick I need that ring or one like it.
Place: FW Comments: What a great story, Rick!
Place: bigD Comments: I purchased a Gold plated Army ring at an estate sale and it looks like a senior class ring. The markings on it said Korean War 1950/53. 45th Infantry. A friend at work saw it on my finger and after a couple weeks, managed to talk me out of it. Eugene said his 85 year old uncle was in the Korean War and he wanted to show it to him. A couple of weeks later Eugene said his uncle put it on his finger and now Eugene can’t get it back. The ring has given Uncle a new reason to live. He doesn’t sit around the house doing nothing any more. He has started going back to the VFW post again, showing off the ring. He has asked a lady he knows for a date, she is 55 and he said the ring gave him the courage to ask her out. He feels alive and wants do things now. He talks about the olden days when he was young. I think the old ladies in Rosebud , Texas better watch out. If the ring has mystical powers like that, I think I want it back.
Place: Cypress Springs Comments: We really missed all of you guys Saturday night also  I spent most of it with my leg up letting Bobby and Chase wait on me. Bobby has been working on the kitchen and it really looks fantastic....now we just need to get a new refrigerator. We are leaving on Saturday for Galveston and Sunday on our cruise  It is actually going to be great to not have to go to a hospital or nursing home for a few days. Although I really do wish that my foot was totally well before we went  Oh well, I will still have fun and eat too much!!!!! See ya later 
Place: 66erville Comments: I am posting the following that was posted on the 65 site FYI. Another classmate Steve Gann is now in a nursing home due to his Alzheimer's dementia. Some days he knows Janie and other days he does not. Still married to Janie Jones from class of 66. She has been a real trooper in carying for Steve. Prayers requested for all the families listed.
Place: 66erville Comments: Had a GREAT time at the BMF Project dinner at Primo's. Thanks to the BMF Project ALL the lakes in north Texas now have sonar units available and personal well trained in their use. Great party and great need met. It is always good to get together with SOCites and spouses, family and friends. Entertainment was really good, even if they didn't sing any Willie. Bonus was finding another good Tex-Mex joint. The food was very good and the beer was COLD.
Place: RTichardson Comments: Donnie & Barb - Thanks for a wonderful night at Primo's!! The food was good & so was the entertainment. They both had very good voices! Really enjoyed being with friends & lots of talk & laughter at our table. Ya'll being able to give out two more Sonar Systems was priceless . . . ya'll do good work.  Diane, Stephanie's mom, is about the same but 2 more "concerns" have arisen. Wish I had better news, but she is holding her own & is still here . . . we keep praying for some miracles. Thank you for your prayers & concern! 
Place: Garland Comments: Shortcake, you and Bobby were missed last night. Thanks to all that attended last night. We had planned for about 50-60 and over 100 people attended last night, good food and great entertainment. Presentation of our 7th and 8th sonar units to the Dallas Fire Dept. and Texas Game Wardens. Trey Williams and Kimberly Reann provided us with some great music. It was a great start to our 3rd year of The BMF Project.
Place: Garland Comments: Catching up - Prayers for Ada, Doug, Shortcake, Mike Murray and Stephanies mom. Sam - great news re PSA.
Place: Cypress Springs Comments: SNL - of course you guys are in my prayers. Wish we could have joined everyone at BMF last night.....I know that you all had a great time...the Dr. told me this week that I needed to keep my feet up all weekend to try to get the swelling to go away so he recommended that I not go out.... Missed several things including the Fire Awards Banquet.Between that and going to see mine and Bobby's mom all week the Dr. thought I had been putting to much stress on it and that is why it is swollen. I guess we will see if it works.
Place: Texas Comments: I haven't been on the GB much lately so am catching up. SNL - will be praying for Diane and Stephanie, and Don, praying for your brother and his healing. Sorry to hear about Bob Burns. SNL - Happy belated anniversary to you and Don! 27 years is a remarkable number to be married.
Place: Richardson Comments: Thanks Toni - Faith, Prayers & great Doctors is what has brought her this far. I use the plural bec there are so many doctors tending to her that we need a spreadsheet to keep up with all of them! Today is the 3rd good day. No setbacks or new problems or heart stoppage. . . therefore a good day. She's been on dialysis since late Thur & so far so good. Again, Thank You for all the prayers, each & everyone is felt! We plan to be at BMF dinner tonight & really look forward to seeing all our friends!!!
Place: Garland USA Comments: Oh my goodness, so sorry to hear about Bob Burns. We were friends on Facebook... Sandy, so sorry to hear about Stephanie's biological mom. She will be in our thoughts and prayers. What a thoughtful step-mom you are. See everyone tonight at the 3rd year kick off of the BMF Project. Don/Barbara, hope you got our click on Facebook that we would be there tonight. We have been trying for several days to figure out how to pay for our dinner but could never find the paypal link. We will just pay at the door. Don, still holding Doug in our thoughts and prayers.
Place: Richardson Comments: Thank you so much for all the prayers! For the 2nd day there have been no critical set backs. Diane, Stephanie's mom, is holding her own & her heart is beginning to work some on its own. They may remove the pump by Monday. Small steps, but at least for 2 days her heart hasn't stopped & the machines are quietly working. We're all praying this is the beginning to her long & slow recovery. I stopped by to see Mike Murray this afternoon & he is doing pretty good. Still working on getting his left arm & leg to work. He hopes in another 2-3 wks he may get mobile enough he can leave rehab & go to his dtr's hse. DWF & Barb-At this time, we plan to be at the BMF fund raising dinner Sat nite. Look forward to seeing our friends! |
