Everybody remembers Mr. Manton. Sara Fogleman Waddle just sent this to me:
"This was posted on Facebook by a Martha Perkins McSweeney
For all you SOC alums, Tom Manton, former journalism teacher at SOC has been moved into nursing care at Grace Presbyterian Village. I'm helping his daughter DeeDee downsize. She is getting rid of a SOC class of 1958 50th reunion booklet if anyone wants it. I'll be happy to pass it along."

Sandy, I didn't know Gray in school, but I knew who he was and thought he was nice looking and very smart. I'm so sorry for his family. Looks like he had a happy and successful life.

How kind of you to post the obit for Gray.  I also saw it this morning.  Gray went to my church, St. Paul Lutheran on  Marsalis.  He was the most handsome boy I'd ever seen, next to Doug Hutt, and he was always nice to everyone.  Tanya dated him for quiet a awhile.  Sad news indeed.  Condolences to his family and wife.

Oh, goodness. This was in today's paper:

Gray started his own business, Delk Designs, and designed thousands of homes in the Dallas area. He enjoyed fishing, playing golf and mowing his yard in his spare time.

Dear Friends of my mother, Ginger Hearn;

For those that do not know, Ginger is currently at Hillside Medical Lodge in Gatesville Texas struggling with the cancer, a broken hip, and broken pelvic bone. She will be staying here as long as she survives. I recently visited her for a week and she has not been well, but we had a good visit and was glad to spend what time I could with her. If you would like to visit her, and she is awake when you do, she would love the visit and kind support of getting her drinks, foot rubs, and back scratches. The info for Hillside is:

Hillside Medical Lodge
101 S 34th St, Gatesville, TX 76528
254-865-7575

My name has been legally changed three years ago, so any questions or concerns can be sent to my email at: athena.del.aenor@gmail.com

I will post any final updates on my mom’s page here when that time comes. Take care and visit my mother if you can. Thank you so much for being her friend.

Betty Gibbs has been keeping up with Ginger Hearn the last few weeks. She received the below information today and posted on facebook.

It is with sorrow that I report the passing of our friend, Ginger Hearn, SOC class of '63. She went peacefully from this life surrounded by the new friends she made In Gatesville, TX during her last years. There will be no service, as she chose to be cremated. Because of her life-long love of music, remembrance gifts can be made to -

First Baptist Church Music Dept. 
In Memory of Ginger Hearn 
912 E. Main St. 
Gatesville, TX 76528

A potluck luncheon will be given in her honor sometime in early September. I will post details when they are finalized. This was Ginger's request and the ladies of First Baptist will host it. They came alongside to love her when she moved to Gatesville, then stayed with her in shifts during her time in the hospice facility. Truly God's gift to our friend.

Charlotte, are you enjoying the cool climes of Colorado this summer?  My ex, Randy Cameron, still lives in Creede and is a fly fishing guide.  He lets me know how the weather is frequently.  I get to laugh though when it's 6 below up there and it's a balmy 60 down here.  Hope you're having a great time.

Through Bill Forston (SOC '62) I just learned that his old neighbor on Waweenoc and our SOC/Zumwalt classmate John Peck died in a tragic accident in 1991.

John was 46 at the time and was employed as a commercial diver and SCUBA diving instructor in the Kilgore area. I spoke yesterday with his former boss Dick Wilgus to hear the details.

The two of them were doing a commercial dive at a power plant in Tatum, Texas. The job was a routine inspection of  equipment below the dam. Wilgus surfaced and waited for Peck to follow him up. When John failed to surface, Wilgus went back in to check but it was too late to rescue him.

John was divorced from Marie at the time and he had three daughters and a grandson. He is buried in Longview.

Well, I wanted the pic to show up in the comment, rather than a "link" to the pic. Back to the drawing board.

You would never believe that he had major surgery 3 weeks ago.  He is doing great and feels better than he has in a long while.  Thanks for asking.

Surprise.  Steve called me at 7:30 p.m. Monday evening and said come and get me.  Boy, was I wrong.  He was in pain but not severe.  I stayed home yesterday and he seemed to be okay.  This morning he looked 100% better and he said he felt better.  So here I am at work for a little while.

Just wanted to let you know that Steve had emergency surgery last Thursday night for a perforated stomach.  He seems to be doing fine and thinks he might be released this afternoon (not) or tomorrow (not).  I told him that I didn't want him at the house until he could eat solid food and he got mad. Ha.  Been crazy around the house but we'll manage.
