Comments: Please be safe, South Texas SOCites! This hurricane is scary.
Comments: Barry, I, too, wish people would comment whenever they stop to lurk. I do not know how to fix this. Glad you and Joan and puppies enjoyed Utah.
Comments: Living in SoCal as a Navy wife in the late 1960s, I was stunned to see people order cocktails at the table on the rare occasions we had dinner in a restaurant, I was also stunned by the sucky, tastefree Mexican food they served!
Comments: Glad to hear you had a great trip to UT. I found it funny about the liquor stores because back in the '70's the same was true in Washington state and Oklahoma. These were operated by the state and could not advertise. So, unless you knew where they were located, you were out of luck. In Washington, I drove around a small shopping center for at least 10 minutes looking for all the neon signs before finally stopping someone and asking. I'm sure I had passed that store a dozen times! Felt like an idiot. Also, mid-70's, visiting friends in Tucson, and going to the grocery store on SUNDAY that had beer, wine AND liquor for sale before noon. Talk about culture shock. Of course, after all this time, everything could be really different.
Comments: Sure not the activity there once was. I check in periodically just to see what's going on and for the past few months, there has been nothing. Maybe everyone else has been doing the same thing. Joan and I spent a month in southern UT from middle of April until the middle of May. I had never been there and really had a great time. We have an Airstream travel trailer and took our two Yorkies with us. They get a little off their feed for a couple of days but really travel pretty well. Raider and Addie are litter mates and are 2 1/2 years old. Raider is the alpha male and is always on guard. He doesn't like big trucks or anything else that gets too close. Addie just sleeps in Joan's lap. We had ideal weather most of the time. When in Bryce Canyon, we had snow and three nights that it got down to 20. Sure go through a lot of propane! It seemed like every other person we met had flown to Las Vegas and rented an RV. A lot of them were from the Netherlands, Germany and France. Joan spent over an hour one day visiting with a Morman couple while doing the wash. Interesting people. Did you know that there is only one liquor store in each town in UT? It's like they hide them and without asking a local you would never find them. Some don't have any signs and might be in the back of a hardware store. Of course, we only heard about this and were not actually looking for a liquor store in every town we visited! I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to see some posts that are not about another classmate passing away.

Comments: I'm sorry, Peaches. I'm grannybunny. That's the user name I usually use online and just used it out of habit. My bad.
Comments: Who is grannybunny?
Comments: I knew who Don Peterson was, but didn't really know him personally. His obituary is very impressive. I wish I had known him better.
Comments: Don Peterson from the Class of '62 has passed away. Here are the details of his arrangements. His celebration of life will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. at Turrentine, Jackson, Morrow Funeral Home, 2525 North Central Expressway Allen Texas Plan on attending if you can. Jerry Shelby
Comments: You guys are astounding. 54 years and counting. Hard to believe so much time has gone by. In those years, i have lived in NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, SF, Hong Kong, Singapore, then again SF. But SOC in 1963 was a special place. I am saddened to see the list of our classmates who have already passed on (I can still see their young faces in my mind), but I like to think back to the good times we had. Best wishes to all of you. Glenn
Comments: Yes, have a happy and safe 4th of July, everyone. I missed the luncheon, too, due to my Sister Diane's -- Class of '62 -- birthday party. Seems like it's always something; hope there are some pictures available.
Comments: Just want to wish everyone a Happy and Safe 4th of July. Did anyone take pictures at the luncheon? I'm really sorry that I wasn't able to make it.

Comments: 50 Years - Half a Century Just a very brief page in history 50 years ago today.
Comments: Noticed in the obit section on Sunday that the wife of Malcolm Walker passed away last week. I believe they still lived in the Dallas area.
Comments: wanted to let you know that my friend from Class 63 passed away on May 13,2017. Her maiden name was Barbara Bryant. the information is listed with Laurel Land funeral Home. Her service was on May 19,2017.
Comments: Happy Memorial Day! It's seems like a rough year. We've lost so many.
Comments: DAnny Green and I attended Hampton Place Baptist church together in our early 20's.I remember. Having dinners,church Sunday school parties long ago.Lm sorry to hear of his passing!
Comments: Linda Schmitz-Barr informed me that if you plan on going to DFW National Cemetery you need to be there a little earlier than 10:30 to line up on Monday May 22nd, Lane 3 for Danny Green's burial.
Comments: I feel like such a Ninny!!! Trying to remember Barr's first name, then it came to me it was Brooks Barr. Both Danny and Buzz worked on the Barr's home as they were all friends. Forgive me for the interruption, I just wanted to be sure I put the right names in. Wish there had been a way I could have edited my post, maybe Lynell can do it for me.
Comments: Not Tommy Barr, I believe it was Bruce Barr, he was in your class as well.
Comments: Gary and I were so surprised to hear about Danny Green's passing. We would be there but Gary has a doctor's appointment regarding his surgery and rehab treatment. I know Linda has been through this before with her previous husband Tommy Barr and Danny helped her get through the loss, repairing the house and roof for her. At a time in their lives, Danny told us he fell in love with Linda, so changes were made in their lives. Linda and Danny have been very happy together and she has taken care of him during his heart problems and surgeries. God Bless all the family who loved and loves Danny Green. He will surely be missed with his twinkling eyes and smile.
Comments: Oops! Fat fingers. Peaches , thank you.
Comments: Wow, Pesches, we must have been typing at the same time and you posted first. Thank you for the info. You always keep us informed.
