Comments: Mike Johnson, You are right it has been years since we debated. It has been years since I even looked at your class web sight. I am glad you are enjoying the '63 web sight. Our class appreciates all SOCites who want to make contributions.
Comments: Prayers for Wayne Z. he is in the hospital having tests run. he has experience lots of swelling in legs and belly......something related to heart but not a heart attack. asked him to keep us posted. Just continue praying for good results.
Comments: Lynelle: Glad to hear that you put away the white shoes after Labor Day. I do as well.
Comments: Gee, my name is not Snith.
Comments: My husband was in the apparel biz for 25+ years, and I went to many fashion events when I would prefer to have stayed home. The so-called designers generally wore black. Their designing mostly consisted of copying pictures of NY and Paris fashions, and mass producing them. The real geniuses were the pattern makers. I pretty much wear what I want to, but the white shoes go bye bye after Labor Day.
Comments: Wow! again. I was so excited about seeing Charlotte and Sharon on the site, I failed to scroll far enough. Southworth, we miss you on our site---we will have it back and running soon when Pat Rogers and I work on re-coordinating the site (because Claudia Bevill Kengott is 'retiring'---maybe with some surprise announcements)---and KATHLEEN---it's been such a long time since we 'exchanged' niceties on the SOC62 site---it was always a pleasure to debate with you. My experience on your site has been an unexpected treat and I hope to communicate again soon. Thank you!
Comments: Hi, Charlotte and Sharon---How ironic!---that I should post for the first time on your site and see two familiar names---love both of you, Charlotte at C.P. Russell and Sharon at SOC---wow, what a great walk down memory lane just seeing both your names.
Comments: From what I see there are NO fashion rules anymore. But, personally, I do not take any designers word for anything....most of them cause all the "fashion victims" we see around and about. However, I have "winter white" stuff I wear all year round and my white jeans. And, of course, there are my patent and suede shoes. The "no white" after Labor Day went the way of hats and gloves as well as prim and proper. I never thought of it pertaining to blouses tho....mainly shoes and whole outfits. That's the way I see it anyway.
Comments: Kathleen, it is perfectly acceptable to wear white after Labor Day. I read an article last week by a big name designer who said it may have been an unwritten rule years ago, but it went out the window several years ago. The other "rule" I remember was "no patent leather shoes until Easter". The office building where I work is a complete jumble of styles. There are the suit and tie attorneys to actual slobs and everything else in between. Sometimes it is a real eye opener!
Comments: I keep seeing articles on not wearing white after Labor Day. Since I have on a white blouse, I guess I am breaking the rule. Do any of you not wear white after Labor Day?
Comments: Phyllis, winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Comments: Thanks, everyone, for the birthday wishes. Sorry to be so late responding, but my sister Diane -- class of "62 -- treated me to a wonderful birthday trip to the Choctaw Casino, and I just got back. Diane came back several thousands of dollars richer, thanks to -- of all things -- penny slot machines. I, on the other hand, can only report that I made it home with $150 more than expected, but with a sisterly bonding experience that is truly priceless. Hope your birthday was great, too, Sharon. And, how good is it to have Peaches back! We all have our trials and tribulations, but many blessings also, not the least of which is each other. It's good to be "home."
Comments: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU BOTH!!!! Just remember that saying aboutt Fine Wine!! AND...DRINK SOME...HAAAA
Comments: Happy birthday to the Labor Day Birthday girls!! Everyone be safe and have fun!
Comments: Just want to wish everyone a safe and Happy Labor Day. Phyllis Isaacs and I share a birthday on Monday. I'm looking forward to it (not)!
Comments: Peaches, We are all so glad you are back and doing so well. You have the most positive attitude of anyone I know. I am sure this helps you get well. We are also glad your mother is doing well. You should get Dorothy Parker to help you with your mother sometime. She does a wonderful job.
Comments: Phyllis, I saw where you acknowledged I was back. I am doing great. I was off work for 2 weeks due to the surgery then back to work and my normal life (whatever that is). Thanks for all y'alls prayers. They helped I am sure. Cancer free now and no chemo!!!!!!!! I am not posting much because I still work full time and see mother every day after work but I do look to see what is happening. We will have our annual Christmas luncheon at my house and our 70th birthday party next year. Gotta get back to work. Love all of y'all.
Comments: Don Fugate, thank you for the invitation. I would guess some '63ers might take you up on your gracious invitation.
Comments: We are inviting all of our SOC friends to join us for the 6th Annual Brandon Michael Fugate Memorial Golf Tournament,benefiting the BMF Project on Friday September 26th. Register at http://www.tournevents.com/bmf . Riverchase Golf Club in Coppell is the location.
Comments: My age group could not legally drink in Texas until 21. What is the age now? I was married before I could legally buy booze.
Comments: I remember that you could be drafted at 18, but had to wait until you were 21 to vote. The complaint was you were old enough to be drafted for your country, but you weren't old enough to vote.
Comments: Phyllis, where did you go to college? I remember drinking at 18, but not legally! Ha. I think I remember (?) that when I turned 21 the drinking age was lowered to 18 but not for long. Anyone else remember that?
Comments: Remember, when we were in college, we could drink at 18, but had to be 21 to vote!
Comments: WOW! I just read that UNT and SMU will sell beer in their on campus football stadiums to fans of legal age. They are among 21 schools doing the same....times they are a changin!!!!
Comments: Wow, John. What a great find.
Comments: Thank you John for always contributing to this guest book.
Comments: If memory serves me right, that picture was taken on the practice field that was on the south side of the school and eventually became the parking lot. Correct?
Comments: I did a little digging on the late William Utter and found that his SOC credentials included ROTC and football. Our youthfulness leaves us all too quickly. Here is a pic of him from 1953 with a familiar edifice in the background:
Comments: Peaches is back!
Comments: Danny, let Sandy know we are praying for his recovery and health. |
