Comments: Happy New year! I'm going to gripe a little. I watched some of the high school playoffs and noticed that the Golden Bears had "Mecca" on their helmets. I contacted the UIL and Dallas ISD about this and how it is sending the wrong message to the students. Surprisingly I got prompt replies from both and said they would look into it. It might help if others complained about this, so I am challenging you to contact both the UIL and the Dallas ISD. After the SOC - Willis game, fights broke out and police from Dallas, Fair Park and DPS had to break up the fights. The teams also did not walk across the field and shake hands after the game. Very disappointing.
Comments: I'm still around and post every now and then. A special thanks to all who reached out to me and/or Donna during my recent hospital stay. I have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure and spent four days in the ER/hospital. This will require a review and some significant changes in my lifestyle. It can't be cured, only managed. I will be looking to kick its ass!
Comments: Happy New Year to all ! Please post your name on this site to let us know you are reading. You donโt have to say anything.

Comments: Sandy King has passed away. Marilyn Rogers Briggs informed me. They were best friends from junior high and high school. Then they married brothers. Classmates, keep in touch on this website. Life is too short now to miss out.
Comments: I just received a call from Donna Akins. Bill is in the hospital at Arlington Memorial Hospital Room 5024. He has been diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. They are treating him and he is doing well. I believe in the power of prayer. Letโs all pray for him and Donna. This was a scare of course.
Comments: Christmas Eve at our house is over and the kids and grandkids have gone home. It's so quiet. Gifts exchanged, lots of good food consumed, Christmas Eve church service is finished. Donna and I want to wish all our SOC friends and their families a Very Merry Christmas.

Comments: Burl Hintz passed away last night. He will be cremated and a celebration of his life will be held after the New Year.
Comments: I remember Burl as the big Sports Figure but didn't know him naturally but, Oh My Goodness, these things are a part of our life and one becomes increasingly aware of the sad goings-on. Thank you Tanya for the update; I appreciate you being the source of lots of news.
Comments: We talked with Gene Bolinger this am, he stated Burl Hintz, class of 62, is in hospice care now and if any of his old friends want to visit him, to go now. He may not communicate back but will hear you talking and may give a smile if talking about football. Gene said he may last only a few days now. Keep Burl and his wife Ann in your prayers.
Comments: I check in periodically. We just moved from Emory, TX to The Hamptons Retirement Community in Tyler. We lived on 41 acres of hay fields and it was difficult to leave but it just got to be too much work for someone who is approaching old age. Hope you are all well because some of you may be getting old as well.
Comments: Our trip was almost a bust with the colors. It has been very dry in NE this year and that severely affects the fall colors. There were some in a few states but even those were "dull." The exception was New Hampshire. There was a lot of color there, but it was still not as vivid as I thought it was going to be. However, there is so much "old stuff" up there that it was like a history tour. A lot of churches that were dedicated in the early 1700s that are still active today. Cemeteries with markers dating back to the late 1600s. Beautiful rural areas that I think most folks don't think about in NE. It was a great trip! But, it's always good to get home.
Comments: Interesting to hear about Bill's sightseeing tour of New England. Before I moved to NY in 2000 I'd never seen the change of colors and I continue to be thrilled and amazed each fall as the various colors begin to "dot the Adirondacks" as it is like a living calendar of beauty. Upstate NY is not New England but where I live is about 30 miles from CT, MA and a bit further to the other beautiful states. Take the trip if and when you can; you will not be disappointed.
Comments: Wow, Bill. I have always wanted to do the New England states. Was Fall showing. You must have seen a a lot during that time. I love the way you two stay so active and enjoy life. ๐๐
Comments: I check in every now and then. Donna and I just got back yesterday afternoon from a 17-day trip to New England.
Comments: Am I talking to myself?
Comments: Hey, let us know you are checking this websiteโฆeven if you only post your name. Today is a beautiful day. I am decorating for Fallโฆ.pumpkins. I do not decorate for halloween. Only thing I do is make a sack of candy for each neighborhood kiddo. Look forward to yโallโs post!๐๐
Comments: I have posted SOC birthday pictures on Facebook today. I made 5 different posts. We missed so many that could not attend due to health issues. ๐๐
