Comments: John "Smarty Pants" Southworth, I wanted to know. It's been well over a week but I read an obit for the son of David Minshew. He committed suicide. So sad. My brain doesn't categorize as well as it used to, and I couldn't remember if David were a SOC friend or a Gaston Ave. Baptist Church friend. And since I've had the flu or something like it for over a week, my brain is extremely fuzzy. Been running fever for 5 days but had to come to work for a little while, mainly an incentive to get up and take a shower!
Comments: Grady Coomes, Henry Coomes' son from his second marriage....died on Valentine's Day. Grady had Esophageal Cancer that had spread to his liver. Kelly Coomes Buchanan McFarlane asked for prayers on Facebook. Kellie, is Claudia and Henry's daughter. Grady is her half brother. In his picture, Grady is quite handsome. He had been in pain for some time and they were asking for prayers of 'mercy' for him. From pictures on FB, it was evident that Grady smoked. Don't know any particulars, as yet. If my memory serves me correctly, Grady was Henry's father's name. He was a Dallas Fireman as my father was.. If one were to go searching, there's probably something on the internet about this..or there will be. I knew Henry since Boude Storey, as well as SOC. Claudia and I became friends at SOC. Henry died maybe 3 years ago.?
Comments: Maybe he did ... maybe he didn't. Who wants to know?
Comments: Did David Minshew go to SOC with us?
Comments: Take a look at the back page of today's DMN Arts & Life section for a bit of nostalgia. Steve and I actually saw the Undercover Boss episode and had never heard of this store. But a trip to Frisco might be coming soon!
Comments: Yes, Phyllis, we were intruded upon. I used my magic powers to zap the pest.
Comments: Have we been spammed, or what? ![[confused]](/images/boards/smilies/confused.gif "Confused - :confused:")
Comments: I just read a post on Facebook by Terry Harmon's sister, Jackie, that Lonnie's wife Terry has passed away. She has been very ill. Lonnie has been a wonderful friend to our class. I am so sorry for the family's loss.
Comments: Happy Birthday, Kathleen and All! ![[smile]](/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)")
Comments: I would like to wish my fellow SOC 63 classmates Sandra Osborn and Wayne Zablosky a Happy 70th Birthday today. It is hard for me to believe that we are all turning 70 today. I certainly don't feel that old, as I am sure they don't either.
Comments: Sharon, thanks! I hope this link works. http://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/editorials/20150125-editorial-kay-leaks-symbolizes-why-pleasant-grove-is-special.ece
Comments: Check out Monday's Dallas Morning News editorial page. Sorry I didn't see it until late last night or I would have posted then.
Comments: Thanks, Lynell. Now I see it.
Comments: Peaches, the thing about Kay was a letter to the editor in last Sunday's paper, in the Points section.
Comments: do you know what section the article about kay was in? I can not find it. Kathleeen, I got to Circle Grill sometimes on Saturday or Sunday mornings for breakfast.....love their breakfast.....best gravy and biscuits. Maybe I will see you there some day!
Comments: Yes, thank you Lynell for publishing it. I was talking to someone yesterday at the Circle Grill Restaurant who remembered Kay and her husband coming in. She was shocked to have read that Kay had passed away. I hadn't realized that Kay was such an active citizen.
Comments: Thank you for posting this Lynell. Those of us not is Dallas would never have seen it. This letter describes the Kay I remember. Wonderful!
Comments: Please take a moment to think of Terry Harmon, Lonnie's sweet wife, who was hospitalized over the weekend with a heart problem and difficulty breathing. Her sister put this on Facebook. Also on Facebook was a comment from our Katherine Jennings about a letter to the editor in yesterday's paper about Kay Strickland Leaks. Here it is: "TRIBUTE TO KAY LEAKS "There is a brand-new sidewalk on Umphress Roas, between Houghton and Hillburn in Pleasant Grove. It's impressive because a year ago (and for many, many years before that) it was so broken that it was dangerous. Kids walking to school had to cross the street. I think of it as the Kay Leaks Straight Path. "Kay worked so hard to get it repaired, not because she wanted to walk on it but because her neighborhood needed it. She and her husband, James, took up the leadership of our area crime-watch group when Joann Akard retired about 20years ago. It's one of the oldest in Dallas. I could not possibly list all the many community activities they headed or participated in, but DART's plan to run a rail line down the middle of Buckner Boulevard comes to mind. "They circulated petitions, wrote letters and went before the board. No rail line down Buckner. The police and fire departments had their complete support. There was a picnic every April, anything the many chiefs asked for help with, they did their best to perform. "Kay joined her lord and savior on Dec. 20. Though my heart aches, I look forward to meeting her again one day. I have no doubt my wonderful friend will have a beautiful crown. She earned it." "Patricia Kountz, Dallas"
Comments: The government reads everything. You know Big Brother is watching.
Comments: Gee, Lynell, if we were paranoid, we would think the government was reading our posts! ![[eek]](/images/boards/smilies/eek.gif "Eek - :eek:")
Comments: Can you believe it? The day after I posted my last comment, I received a summons for Dallas County jury duty!
Comments: Well, Charlotte, at least Federal Court jury duty pays more than $6 a day! ![[wink]](/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif "Wink - ;)")
Comments: Oh my...look at me...I'm just a youngster, ..I'm still up!! BTW... Federal court caught me this week just before the age of skipping jury duty...I'm on call for Federal,duty starting Jan 26. I have to call the day before to find out when and where or IF I report....HOW MEAN IS THAT? So,,,I'm on hold....... OK, I know I should do my duty, but I'm praying I get dismissed!!! Am I awful?...
Comments: Thank you for the birthday wishes! I am now officially too old for Jury Duty, not to mention a whole lot of other stuff. I am grateful for every year, and also for my wonderful lifelong SOC friends. Well. It's almost 8:30. Time for me to turn in now! Thank you again for your kind wishes.
Comments: Lynell, so sorry I missed your birthday. Dear Lynell, happy birthday to you and mannnny more!
Comments: The best football game I saw over the weekend was the North Dakota State Bisons vs. Illinois Redbirds. North Dakota was going for its 4th straight championship and was trailing with a little over a minute left and 80 yards to go. They won! The pro games were a let down after that. There were some dubious calls in the Cowboys game, not only from the officials but from the coaches too. Oh well, let's take up the mantra again, "Wait until next year."
Comments: Kathleen, I just realized that I wished you a happy anniversary, but neglected to wish our own Lynell a happy birthday! So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LYNELL!! I am getting more scatter brained as the years go by. I have all of you in by prayers for the coming year. Love, Donna Gwin Libhart
Comments: Donna, Thanks for the congratulations. I hope you guys are feeling better. I just hate this weather. We watched the Cowboys game today. Am I the only one who doesn't think that BRYANT didn't drop the ball? He was hanging on to the ball while trying to score. What a strange way for the cowboys to loose.
Comments: Dear Kathleen, Happy Anniversary to you and your hubby. Hughie and I had out 47th on December 23. We stayed in and celebrated with antibiotics and juices, but were able to have a family Christmas on the weekend! Just saying, we are getting on to the sickness rather than the health part of those vows! Hughie says I am killing him with kindness. We toast each other with peach tea and cough syrup now days. He keeps things interesting. Everyone have a prosperous 2015!!! Donna Gwin Libhart
Comments: Happy Birthday Lynell. You and Bill are both GOATS. His birthday is Tuesday, the 13th and also our 47th Wedding Anniversary. As for walking the cats today, we actually had cats that would go for a walk with us every time we walked the dogs. Unfortunately, or orange cat, Clyde was always getting stuck up in our neighbors tree and was too afraid to come down. Better luck walking your cats. |
