It‘s turned cold again. We’d better live it up. We know what’s coming all too soon. 🥵

We moved to Dallas in 1954 and lived in the Wynnwood apartments until the summer after 4th grade. Then we moved to Fortune Lane which deadended into SOC. That September they opened Clara B Oliver elementary school and I attended 5th and 6th grade there before moving on to Boude Storey, then SOC. Many memories!

My mom worked at the Beauty Salon next door to Roberts Jewlers.  One of the girls there did Sharlene Houtling’s hair for the Miss Flame Contest.  I worked part time for Roberts jewlwers, Cinderella shop modeling, Margies in high school and Christmas time in the toy section of Montgomery Ward. Loved Margo’s shop there.  we lived close so sis and I were about everywhere in Wynnewood, she hung out at Goff’s.  Those years were great, many friends along the way and sweet memories.

Wynnewood village brought my family to Dallas when it first opened. My daddy was manager of the Holiday shoe store.

Charlotte and everyone, I have all the pictures backloaded onto my computer now. There are quite a few! If anyone wants a copy of them on a flash drive, please email me for info. 

Wynnewood was quite the place back in our day! Remember that fancy Titches store with the open escalator? I say the perfect meal was a Goff‘s #4 with chili, cheese and onion, topped off by a scoop of Mrs. Goff’s cherries jubilee ice cream. Those really were the good old days.

I’m so sorry to learn of Barbara‘s death. She was a sweet person. We‘ve lost so many of our peers now and it is difficult to read the memorandum column now.

I am saddened to add a name to our Memoriam page. SOC ‘63’s sweet Barbara Arnold Sheffield has passed away, according to a post I saw by her daughter on Facebook. Barbara and Wendell Sheffield have been married since 1964. My sympathy goes out to their family and friends.

I’m sure you all remember those 2,000+ photos from SOC events that were on our website. There were issues with the host for those pictures, so I’ve downloaded them to my home computer  

If you are a member or a friend of the Class of ‘63, I will send you a flash drive with the pictures for $5 per copy, plus a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Please email me if you are interested.

Barry Gibbs had asked about Charles Woodard. I had a nice visit with him at one of the reunions. He told me he worked for Shell Oil in Indonesia as a chem E for 20 years

John Southworth, I thought I was the only one who did multi posts of the same thing! I deleted ‘em.

Technical glitz...or subtle reminder that Mr. Gibbs is a little slow on the uptake?

Perhaps the site Administrator could delete 5 or 6 of my previous duplicate posts? I kept getting an indicator that my comment wasn't accepted?

Memo to Barry Gibbs: You inquired about Charles Woodard. I last ran into him in Houston back in the 1990's and he was living in Katy, TX then. He mentioned he'd been assigned somewhere in Indonesia at one point. These days I'm pretty sure he is living in Cypress, TX (part of northwest Houston). I have an address if you need it.

My family was really connected to Wynnewood. My mom and Grandmother shopped every Saturday morning at the A&P Grocery, and frequently at the variety store next door (I can't remember the name - Motts, Moses Ben Franklin?). And I always bought my school supplies at Skillerns Drug Store so I could get a free milkshake. We even had the family bank account at the Wynnewood Bank, which was a stand-alone building behind the shopping center.

In addition, my dad was a maintenance superintendent for the FHA and Lincoln Properties (two of the owners) and one of his apartment complexes (all in Oak Cliff) was the Wynnewood Apts, which had over 500 units that surrounded the shopping area.

Okay, here is my Wynnewood story. My brother managed the 7-Eleven store at Wynnewood. I started working there when I was 11 years old. I worked there a few years, then other stores and left 7-Eleven when I was 19. Two years at Texas Instruments and then the military.

Remembering Gary Loftis- in the years right after soc Gary worked as a DJ at WRR. He was on the air asDon Gary a reversal of his middle and first names, because the station thought that using the name Loftis- would have too much fff in it.

I saw the article about Wynnewood and remembered going to the theater to see a movie with Lana Turner and Sandra Dee.  I think it was Lust for Life?  Came out crying my eyes out.  Also, didn't the Sutton's have a shoe store there?  I seem to remember that Van Sutton worked there after school and on the weekends before he graduated.  Wasn't there a Goff's there too?

Barry, I remember Mrs. Willard very well and can picture her in my head. My shoes always came from Volk’s, and Mrs. W helped my mother, aunts and me. I remember those cute black suede loafers senior year, size 7 1/2 AA/AAAA. My feet have filled out since ‘63.
