I wish so much I could attend Rodger’s farewell. I will be there in spirit as he was a great friend of mine.

I have been remiss in checking our guest book. Birthdays got by me and I should have commented on the drought. Our ranch must have a giant umbrella over it. It rained around us , but missed us nearly every time. We did not even make hay this year.

Unfortunately, I’m unable to attend Roger’s memorial. We will be out of town. Bill, it is wonderful what you are doing. Roger was a one of a kind and I’m glad he will have this wonderful remembrance.

Peaches,

I will be there.
This will also be a mission for the Patriot Guard Riders as well, so I will be there with them to set up the flag line at the Pavillion, and will wait there with them for all my SOC friends to arrive and I will walk in with you. I will also join you at your home afterward.

Come Celebrate the Life of
Rodger Lynn Davis!!

Rodger Davis Memorial Service

Friday, October 21, 2022

1:15 p.m.

Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery

2000 Mountain Creek Parkway

Dallas, TX 75211

Directions once inside the park:

  1. If you are not familiar with services at the VA cemetery, cars line-up in designated lanes beginning in front of the Visitor’s Center.
  2.  
  3. When you enter the park, follow the signs to the Visitors’ center. As you get to the Center, signs will direct you into a numbered lane.
  4.  
  5. Once we are all in line, we will be escorted in our cars to the pavilion designated for Rodger’s service.

We can begin to line-up at 1p.m.

4.    We do not have a lane assignment yet; it will be assigned the day before. If I get it in time, I will post a notice of our lane number on my Facebook site. There also will be volunteers around the lanes who can direct you.

The service will be about 25 minutes, then they scoot us out for the next service.

Please, join us at my home after the service to tell stories about his life and reflect on our love for Rodger. We will go straight from the memorial park to my home at the address below. If possible, please let me know by text or private message on this site if you plan to attend.

Let me return the sentiment.  Happy Birthday, Roomie.  Didn't get a card in the mail, so this will have to suffice.  All my love and wishes.

My roomie from UNT is celebrating her birthday.  I wish you a wonderful day, Sharon June, and keep that pretty smile and great personality going.  It makes a lot of people happy.

Hi, Gary Whitten! I seem to love in a Dallas bull’s eye area, too. It certainly was nice! I’d almost forgotten how good rain smells. The cool-down has been a delight.

I live near Emory in Rains County and we were under one of the bullseye areas on the weather map. Between Saturday afternoon and Monday afternoon, we received 13.59 inches of rain. The first storm on Sunday dropped 2.05 inches in 45 minutes.

We ended the day yesterday with just under 7 inches of rain. Outstanding.

Finally! We've picked up just under two inches of rain in the last 12 hours. Much needed, and apparently more to come today.

My prayers to the rain god were answered both days.  Had really good rain along with the strong winds.  The temp on my patio dropped 20 degrees!

We finally got some rain yesterday afternoon. There were storms all around us and some areas got as much as 2.5 inches. I must have angered the rain gods because we just got .15!

We also had the monsoon rains yesterday. I think I saw 3 drops it the driveway. Immediately turned into steam due to the heat. .04” predicted for today and my waders are at the coast!

Glorious rain all around the Metromess yesterday afternoon. Well, it was all around except for my house and the DFW airport, where they record the official rainfall.

So the beat goes on for a few of us. I've lost track of the number but it's been over two months since we had "measurable" rain! A trace of rain doesn't count.

We wait for this afternoon when there is a 40% coverage in the forecast.

And it is supposed to be over 100 in Albany, NY tomorrow, the hottest day EVER. 

We have had very little rain up here too.  YIKES

Marilyn Patterson, I think of you all the time.  Hope you are doing well.  Are you still a member of that church you were so interested in some years ago?  I have a new smart phone that is so smart I don't know how to use it, seriously, haven't made a call yet.  Must get my niece over to show me how to operate it and then I'll give you a shout.  Glad to hear from you.

I thought some in this class may remember Tommy Morales from class of 64.  He passed away May 31, services were held on June 6th in Randolph, Tx.

OMG, I remember Jay from High School.  I think he and I were among the tall guys.  Thanks Barry for the reminder.

Hello Jay.  I live in Upstate NY (since 2000).  Hope all is well.

Barry, what a great story about you and Jay doing your trek around Loop 12. Can you imagine two boys attempting that today, and I don’t mean because it’s 100+ degrees! There would be an Amber alert out for you two, at the very least! Glad JWK is doing okay.

I drove down to White Bluff on Wednesday to visit Jay and Gayle Kralik.  Jay and I were good friends at Zumwalt, SOC and Texas Tech.  I had not seen him since college.  Somehow, we started emailing infrequently about a year ago.  I thought "I'll just drive down for a visit!".  We told old war stories about such things as walking around Loop 12.  He finished, I didn't.  We were almost back home, it was dark, pouring down rain, cold and my parents showed up.  I hobbled into the car, but Jay kept walking.  He had a paper route and was in much better shape than I was.  That's my excuse!
Jay fixed a very enjoyable lunch and we visited for a couple of hours.  It's great to reconnect.

Sharon, we were so sorry to hear of your brothers passing.  I had the same experience in 1984, my brother-in-law at just 34 years of age came down with what they found out to be bacterial meningitis.  He went to hospital on a Monday, was in full coma by Thursday and on a vent.  He passed on that same week on Friday.  the whole town of Pittsburg including family had to be given shots.  So fast, so tragic, just like your brother my sisters husband was in good health.  It can be caused by a person drinking after another who might have been a carrier. Very scary.  God bless you in your loss.

Sharon, I’m so sorry to read about Gary. I saw the name on another site and didn’t connect that he was your brother. May Gary rest in peace.

And, now, I must add another name to that list.  My brother, Gary Reeves, Class of '59, passed away yesterday.  A week ago he was a healthy, robust man and then he wasn't.  The preliminary diagnosis was meningitis.  I'm still in shock.
