Comments: Just curious, but does the 64 bunch still have a web site in a viable form. Would occasionally drop by, but when I checked it out yesterday and today the last entry was 4/20 by some hacker. Anyone know what is going on?
Comments: I am so sorry to hear Danny is having more health issues. You are both in my prayers and I pray that Danny will improve. Please tell him I am thinking about him.
Comments: What is the date of the summer luncheon?
Comments: Well I thought it was time we send you guys a note and let you know that Danny is in the hospital again. he is in Baylor in Waxahachie, room number 210. Danny has been having some trouble with falling lately. he has fallen 4 times in about 4 weeks . on Sunday July 5, he fell down outside of Cracker Barrel on the concrete. he cut his forehead just above the eyebrow from his glasses this was very deep it took 11 stitches including one on the inside to pull it together. after getting him stitched up in the ER they were ready to release him when he passed out. his blood pressure had been very low all day and when sitting him up on the edge of the bed it dropped even further is what is suspected causing him to pass out. so they had to admit him. he had a sore hip and some bruising on it that's all they did an xray on his hip. he also had a CT scan on his head. both the CT and the hip xray came back alright. since then he has been unable to stand up on his own and is not able to walk. It is like he has lost his sense of balance. they did in EEG on his brain and it shows some mild seizure activity. his blood pressures are still staying low. this morning they told me that his blood levels the H&H,, are trending downward. This means that he is still bleeding somewheres internally. we do believe it is in that hip the bruise has gone to his spine in the lumbar around the hip into the pelvic region. it goes from the top of the hip down his leg about a foot and a half. it is just terrible! they will do a pelvic and abdominal CT on him today to see if they can find the bleeding. I found so call in for a surgical consultant. the surgeon has already been here and checked him and told him that this should clear up. but he will be following Danny's progress to see if anything is going to be needed from him. please keep Danny in your prayers.

Comments: One of the holidays highlights was the woman's soccer team and no terrorist threats. Great holiday!
Comments: A Happy and safe 4th of July to all. No plans to travel, but will enjoy not having to work for a few days.
Comments: A big thanks to everyone who has been supportive of my daughter-in-law, Gayle Lemmon's book "Ashley's War." It was just named to the Amazon.com list of "Best Books of the Year So Far" in both the History and Biographies/Memoirs categories. It was also written up in Cosmopolitan as one of the Best Summer Reads. So excited for her. It's available at amazon.com in hardback and kindle, at Barnes and Noble, Target, Walmart, Sam's Club and I think at Costco.It's a great read and a lot of men seem to really be enjoying it.
Comments: Gaylan, you must be so proud. The books are both wonderful reads. I certainly hope the movie is made. How wonderful!
Comments: Thanks for the kind comments about Gayle's book, "Ashley's War." It was on the New York Times best seller list for the first two weeks it was out. That list depends apparently on all the book sellers contacting them and telling them how many copies of books they have sold each week so don't know how accurate it is from week to week. But she is a New York Times Bestseller now on both books, including her last book, "The Dressmaker of Khair Khana." That's a hugh feat in itself that her first and second book both made the NYT Bestseller list. She has gotten lots of buzz on Ashley's War and hopefully now that Reese Witherspoon and Fox 2000 have purchased the film rights, the story will come to the big screen. You just never know. It's a crazy business. I think it is a wonderfully told story about these women who became life long "sisters" on the battlefield. I don't think it is just a story about war per se, although it does include some of the missions that they did night after night along side the Army Rangers. I think it is such an insight into these women's lives, their hopes of doing something important for their country, and just maybe paving the way for other women in the military. It's a beautiful story about some amazing women.
Comments: it was a great experience! and also to see Gaylan.
Comments: Jealous of you Sandra and Peaches!!! Wish I could have been there.
Comments: also, glad to meet Sandy daughter!
Comments: Gaylan, I was so glad and excited that I got to go to the book signing. I was so very impressed with Gayle. She is such a story teller. She made the book come alive while discussing. Her enthusiasm about Ashley's War needs to be told to us I (probably most Americans) did not even know about these women. I am so glad she is receiving recognition for her efforts and being interviewed. It was a plus to see Laura Bush there (from a distant) sitting with Ashley's mother. I enjoyed sitting with Sandra Osbourne also and meeting Justin. Justin and Gayle are a good looking couple. I know you are so proud of both!
Comments: Gaylan, you must be so proud of your excellent son and his smart wife! It's nice that you were able to attend the Bush Center book signing. I hear that the President and Laura occasionally show up in person there. Because our SOC guestbook has been plagued by anonymous and other posts in the past, please use your first and last names when posting. I know people hate me for this one and only rule, but oh well. I hope your daughter-in-law's book sells a million copies, not that NYT would acknowledge that. Thank you for understanding about the whole name thing, and please visit here again soon and often.
Comments: Just wanted to say how wonderful it was to see Sandra Osborn and Peaches at the Bush Library for Gayle's book signing of Ashley's War. It was just like old times. Hope you enjoy the book and thanks so much for making time to come to the event.
Comments: I saw the obit and recognized that it was Joann's sister. I hope all our classmates in the Houston area are on high ground (if there is any down there). I don't think we're supposed to get much rain until tomorrow and lord only knows where it will runoff to. Stay safe.
Comments: Thank yo John. I'll try to contact Joanne
Comments: I just noticed a comment on Facebook regarding the passing of Arlene Helen Lachnitt on June 11th. Her siblings included the late Eric Lachnitt (Class of '62) and our own Joanne Lachnitt Dembroski. My condolences go out to Joanne. I'm assuming Arlene was 3 or 4 years ahead of us at SOC.
Comments: You guys hang in there Danny Green, you're both on a lot of prayer lists....be well my friend.
Comments: I didn't catch the information about Kathleen's services in time to attend, but will profoundly miss her insightful comments here and her occasional emails. I wanted to meet her for lunch some time, but she was not able to get out much because of her medical condition. It never occurred to me that we would be losing her so soon. I'm genuinely sorry that I did not make a greater effort to spend some time with her. We have lost so many of our loved ones. One never knows when his or her time will come. Thank you for this site, allowing us to touch bases with each other and to cherish each other from afar.
Comments: I just wanted to let everyone know that I was released from the hosp. A week ago, on Sunday. Although I still have some pnumonia, I am getting better. While Linda is now dealing with the side effects of chemo.,but still has her hair! Lol!
Comments: Just saw an interview with Gayle Lemmon about her new book. Gaylan, you must be proud. They said that Reese Witherspoon won a bidding war to get the movie rights. Can't wait to read it.
Comments: I had a very busy weekend and a 2 day Staff Retreat Monday and Tuesday away from work. I have just now opened our Guestbook. What a shock to read so much. Tim had texted me about his plea. I am going to call him but give him some time now. I am going to try very hard to go to Kathleen's service tomorrow but will have to see if I can get off work for a while. I also am going to try to go to the book signing before I go to mother's but will have to see how that goes. Danny, Rodger told me you called him. Please know that both of us are committed to praying for both you and Linda. John put in words very well how you classmates feel about you. You are loved!
Comments: Kathleen's visitation at Restland is this evening. Funeral scheduled for tomorrow at 2:00, Church of the Incarnation in Dallas on McKinney Ave. May my smart, sweet h.s. friend rest in peace.
Comments: Hey there Gaylan, This book is wonderful. Everyone should read it!! I wish I were in Dallas to come meet your beautiful, terrific daughter in law and, of course, see YOU!! If anyone checking in on this GB today and have the time, you should definitely go to this!!! I wish I could.
