Hi, Mike Peters! Chime in here. 


Ken, I have student directories from our era, plus a Humble Happy Motoring map from back then. See, when you’re a pack rat (David’s words) you have all sorts of cool junique.

It seems some flippers have figured out our part of Oak Cliff was ten minutes from downtown, and the lots were large. It’s great to see this happening!

Today I had lunch with Martha Bass Hunt at her retirement place. Martha looks great, and we had fun — just like first grade. What a warrior Martha is.

$13,000 WOW! It would be great to have a map from1963 that showed where all the SOC kids lived. In October of 1966 (I had just turned 21 and Beverly had just turned 20), we paid $400 to assume a loan for $14,500 on a house in Polk Terrace. That house is now valued at $109,860. [rolleyes]

Wow, Leftnell, guess we should have held out a little longer before selling. I noticed 3810 Fortune Ln for sale for $227,900.... Beverly lived across the street at 3811. Also noticed several houses on Vanette..didn't Charlotte Mac live on that street?

I lost my bookmark for the Class of 63.  I can search online and get to this guest book but I'd like to see the main site also.  Can someone provide me the URL please.  Thanks.

Ken, time Dallas should do like NYC: PS 47, etc. It would save a lot of debate and a few taxpayer bucks.  

Meanwhile, for some real fun look up real estate 75216.

In times like these that we are living through I want to encourage each of you to not lose hope as God is with us. He took me down memory lane today and reminded me of all the times he had his hand on me. From childhood to today's times. Time is running short as to whether God will rescue this Nation or take us home to be with him.

Bill Akins, I just saw this. I will need to look through my dusty archives. It’s likely "somewhere."


Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

To my first boyfriend at dear ole Lisbon, I send my hope and my prayers that you beat this dreadful disease named cancer.  I know you and LaVeta will perserver this, and I thank God each time someone wins over the disease.

Bill, unfortunately, that site was deleted by someone and I mean erased with no trace.…ahem. How awful was that?  Sadly, I’m not sure that info can be found now. But, just maybe in some corner Of the web it is still there. 


fortunately, Lynell agreed to continue a form of SOC 63 so that we can keep it touch this way. I’m no longer on Face Book and this is where I come now.

Lynell,

Many years ago when this site was in its early beginnings, I developed a list of everyone (that we knew of anyway) that had served in the military. There was a Military page even. Is it possible that that info still exists in some old files you might have inherited when you took over the site?

BTW, there was also info on SOCites who married SOCites.

What a great group of kids we were, as the Class of ‘63! Most of us have lived good lives with honor. I wish we had a list of all who served in the Military, and on the front lines in every respect. It’s been a good ride.

Charlotte, Gary is busy making bird houses, each one is built and painted for all the state flags is the states we have traveled.  A favorite one is the Texas flag, which we have made many and given away.  He just finished Arizona and Kansas.  We have many.  Johnny Maddox is busy building them too, plus wooden Christmas trees and US Flags.  Keeping the boys busy.

Ron Johnson, Gary never reads the site or Facebook, but I read him your statement and he said yes he  is still kicking, but not as high as Golden Deb.  Living on Lake Texoma!
