we were saddened that the SOC 62 site has been taken down.  The only one for them is on FB in groups section.  We try to check the sites for classmates and keep up with what is going on in other classes. Sadly, it seems we are losing more friends from our past days at SOC.  We hope you guys keep your site going, it’s getting a little harder to keep up for us.  We miss reading new commentation and praying all is well in your class.  God bless.

Yeah Bill, I was thinking the same thing.  Everyone is busy or NOTHING is going on; hope it is the latter.  Have a great hot day everyone.

So sorry to hear of all our recent losses.  I danced with Marty one time and it was great.  Lynell, I have to ask you if your neighbor has decided to leave the skeleton up year round?  I have gone by your house a few times since Halloween and am amazed when I see it.  It's probably a lot of trouble to set up and take down because of its size.  To my roomie, I got the disc but haven't been able to view it because the player is not hooked up.  I'll have to get my nephew over to connect the player because it is almost on the floor and if I got down that far, I would not be able to get back up!  Miss all of you.

I really enjoyed Marty Smith.  What a great guy.  I am also sorry to hear about Gary Loden.  We were at Cedar Crest Baptist Church together.  He called me about 5 years ago and we revisited about our families.  His mother was my Bible class teacher.  
SOC had some great people and I have wonderful memories of so many.  God speed to all.

We enjoyed knowing Marty during one of the SOC cruises. What a remarkable guy, great dancer. He was also the brother of the late Sammy Smith, class of 66 cheerleader too.  Both great people.  I would also like to mention that the class of 64 lost a great guy as well today, Gary Loden.  Praying for their families in the loss of these great men.

Marty was a great guy, always smiling and upbeat! He even went on a couple of our BBQ events in the Big Apple a few years ago,   and made jalapeño Cole slaw! prayers for family and friends

John, I saw the report about Marty’s death on Facebook when one of his fellow dancers reported the sad news. I remember Marty well from Lisbon. Always a friend.

On Facebook today, is a comment from Michael Smith sharing the news of the recent death of this father ... our Marty Smith. Many of us first met Marty at Zumwalt and of course remember him as the "Bear" mascot at SOC. He was such a likeable guy.

My 7th grade at Bushman one day was a variety/talent show. Bruce Bratton was paired with Betty Gibbs and they sang the song 'Dearie'.  I always wondered even to this day how in the world Bruce Bratton ever became paired with Betty Gibbs?

Jackie Lynn Hill Obituary
NOVEMBER 1, 1944 – JANUARY 12, 2024
Jackie was born November 1st, 1944, in Dallas, Texas to Emmitt and Hazel Durham. She will always be remembered as a loving Mom, Nana, Great Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, and friend to all who knew and loved her.
She loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, her family, working in the yard or planting flowers, telling people about Jesus, cooking for everyone, listening to country music or Elvis, and watching John Wayne or Tom Selleck on TV. Her favorite charities were the local church she belonged to, giving to the Jewish Nation in Israel, and the Billy Graham ministries.
After graduating from high school at South Oak Cliff in Dallas, she attended East Texas Baptist College in Marshall, Texas where she met her husband and helped him graduate from college.
After college, Jackie was a preacher’s wife for 25 years. She taught Sunday School, hosted & cooked for the Youth Groups, and was called a prayer warrior by all who knew her. Throughout the years she wore many hats at the churches she attended including leading Women’s Ministries, Bible studies, Pianist and the Lawn Care (yes, she was a worker!). She was a Special Education Teacher at Boulter Middle School in Tyler and a Church Secretary at Riley First Baptist Church in Dallas; However, her proudest accomplishment was being a mother and raising 3 boys.
Jackie is survived by her 3 sons, Michael Hill, and wife Patrícia, Jeff Hill, Steve Hill, and wife Bethany, 4 grandchildren, Kendra Johnson, and husband Colin, Aaron Hill, and fiancé Delaney Broiles, Jacob and Jordan Hill. 4 Great-grandchildren, Sophie, Colton, & Lily Johnson & Camden Hill, and extended family and loving friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Emmitt and Hazel Durham, and her brother, Doug Durham.
A celebration of life for Jackie will be held on Saturday, January 20, 2024, at 10:00 AM at Community Life Church, 2918 US-175 in Kaufman, TX 75142.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

What Bill said.
Many thanks to Peaches and the other, hard-working, talented hostesses, who put this luncheon together today. The company and the menu were both fabulous. I enjoyed it all.
Is 8:30 too early to go to bed? I’m asking for a friend.

Many thanks, as usual, to Peaches for opening up her beautiful home for our annual Christmas luncheon. Her home is always perfectly decorated for the Christmas season. The food and fellowship was wonderful this afternoon. 

Thanks Peaches for doing this every year (for the past 20 years I think.)

Lonnie took pictures that hopefully will appear soon.

Hi, Sharon, 

Thanks for asking, but it seems the skeleton is part of their permanent yard art installation. They added lights and a Santa. Go figure. Ha. Hope you‘re doing well!
