Comments: I hope all of you took the time to read the two posters David Splawn, Ouida Hoyle and I made with the letters from the teachers and SOCites who could not come.
Comments: I dropped Mr. Manton a note after the reunion to let him know he was missed.
Comments: Phyllis, I don't know if you remember the Reverend Van Kemper and his wife Julie, who also was the minister at Holy Trinity. They both served together as ministers and Van married my son in 2003. I often ran into Mr. Manton, who sang in the choir. Anyway, I have sad news to tell you that Van passed away last week from of complications of multiple myeloma. Van Kemper was a colleague of my husband Bill in the Anthropology Department at SMU for over forty years. He also taught in Bill's bilingual program at SMU. He was a favorite professor among the bilingual teachers.
Comments: I saw Tom Manton and his daughter Dee Dee at Norma's Saturday evening. He was his usual droll, dapper, self. I told him that we missed him at the Reunion, and think about him often. I'm at Grace Presbyterian Village -- where he and Dee Dee live -- 3 times a week for physical therapy on my injured leg, and really need to visit them. Tom, his late Wife June and Dee Dee were all in Choir with me at Trinity Presbyterian Church. I'm not sure Tom recognized me offhand, but Dee Dee did and reminded him. Trinity Presbyterian was located at 901 N Zang and was over 100 years old. It closed down in 2008, as our numbers were dwindling. Far be it from me to say we were "old," but if you weren't old enough for Medicare, you qualified for the Young Adults [Sunday School] Class! 
Comments: Can't wait the luncheon
Comments: OK, so I was drinking. I meant Gerald Jones!
Comments: Small world! In Phoenix on business and ran into Gerald Evans, class of 65. He lives in Irving.
Comments: SOC Annual Christmas Luncheon will be on Sunday, December 8th at 1:00 at my home. More details to come later this week.
Comments: Send a check to my address for $25.00. make it to SOC Reunion 63. They would love seeing him and you together.
Comments: Peaches how do I order the video shown at the reunion?? I think it would mean alot to the kids in the family to see Sonny ...especially the little ones that will never have a chance to know him.
Comments: Remembering all veterans on Veterans Day and thank you so much for your service!!!
Comments: A heartfelt thank you to all our SOC veterans. You are all my hero.
Comments: Geo Johnny: I owed you a 'drink' and was prepared to pay up at the Reunion. In your absence I got my beautiful wife an extra glass of wine (yours). It put her over the top. Since I was such a shy and bashful 'unknown' at SOC, most folks didn't know me and I DO understand. Well, my normally bashful bride of 10 years decided (after your glass of wine) to drag me (literally) to many groups of our classmates and say, "Hi, I'm Linda, you remember my husband Mike?" What a hoot she was and if she embarrassed anyone, I apologize but I had a ball, albeit a bit blushing (like the color of her wine).It was so good to meet some old (new) friends and chat. Again John, you missed a grand event. Funny though, by 11:00pm I was ready for my bed. Hmmmmm.  BTW, my shy bride has her 40th in two years; We are going, AND I do have a surprise for her. Like me, she was shy, bashful and was a bit of an "unknown" in 1976 . Paybacks are gonna be beautiful. I just can't get our 50th out of my mind. Too bad I live in the Northeast. I'd love to attend more of our gatherings. What a wonderful group of classmates we have.
Comments: I am so sorry to hear about Gary's brother passing.
Comments: Gary's older brother Claude Jr just passed away today.
Comments: John, Unable to Locate means exactly that. We have lost all contact with that person. If we do not have another phone number listed to try to find you, then you are Unable to Locate. Before a person is put on the Unable to Locate list we call all numbers we have. There may be some listed as Unable to Locate that are deceased. Our Committee feels we have kept a very good list throughout the years of those who want to be found. It saddens me to put someone on that Unable to Located list. If someone wants to try to track down lost people, go for it...all help is greatly appreciated!
Comments: I received my new Class Directory in the mail yesterday and have read every page of it. Well done! It was surprising to see so many listed as "Unable to locate". You'd think in the internet age it would be difficult to NOT be found. Does "Unable to locate" mean just that or is it the secret code for "Don't list my information"? Did I notice Jewell Bond has a new last name? Belated best wishes!
Comments: If you got a birthday request from me via email - forget it - that was a mistake.
Comments: It was a fantastic 50th Reunion! The entire ballroom full of SOCites, family, friends and teachers helping us celebrate. Friday night Hunter's Lounge was full and so much hugging, talking and laughter filled the room. I think I did get to talk to everyone that night even if just for a few minutes. Sharon Maddux Cuff and her husband came both nights. She had never been to one of our reunions. I really think they had a good time and will be back. We had several who had not been for years and came to check us out. The Class of 1963 (as I said Saturday night) is truly a GREAT class!!!! We have celebrated 50 years of Golden Friendships and memories since we left high school. We have created many memories by sharing, caring, talking and listening to each. We have cried together and laughed together. The Class of 1963 has so many wonderful memories and continue to create more memories.
Comments: Thank you Peaches!!! I hear all good things about the Reunion.
Comments: The directories and tee shirts ordered have been mailed this morning. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!
Comments: Okay, okay...I wasn't criticizing the photo taking. I know some said DO NOT TAKE MY PHOTO...(bad sports) and I know there are more to come...AND I know how hard it is to walk around catching photo ops. Like Lynell said...I hope there will be an official set up next gathering to make it easier for the photographer. We have glorious rain down south way. Yay!!!
Comments: Thanks, Lonnie. I'll wait to post the rest until I get them all. People are going to say they don't know who these people are, so they'll need to zoom in and look at the name tags. Maybe we should have had a system like the old pictures with Santa Clause, with a number displayed, and a form to fill out. I know how labor intensive your job is, and I appreciate your work!
Comments: Yes it was very difficult to photograph everyone. I tried to catch everyone in the video though. I had no formal setup for doing photos. So it was helter-skelter. I have more to send to Lynell as I get them processed. Also some folks did not want their photograph to be made and some did not turn out very good.
Comments: PS It didn't hurt that I won a bear and a Silver dollar!
Comments: I had reservations about attending ,but am glad I did. I enjoyed hearing what old classmates were doing. It is amazing to me the longer you talked they became younger. Peaches and her committee did a great job! Well done!
Comments: I hope at the 70th Lonnie can set up a photo booth and take pics. it's difficult to walk around and try to remember who has had their picture taken and who hasn't. When Lonnie gets through editing, we can buy a DVD. I took a few pictures, but most were awful because of the lighting and operator errors! Linny Jones, Mike Peters, the Pultes, Bill Akins and many others were missed.
Comments: I enjoyed seeing the photos. But, where are all the 100s? Didn't more men come? So many duplicate pics of woman and not many of the guys. Oh well, I guess need to come in person to see everyone. Right? Maybe someone else has pics they will share. Loved seeing Mike E even tho he had his eyes closed. And, as usual...everyone in the pics look great!!!!!!! DID PEACHES SAY 70th????????? HOW CAN THAT BE?????
Comments: Jackie has been coming every year since the 40th (I think) and enjoys them very much. Mike Egan was a pleasant surprise this year. He had planned on only attending Friday night but enjoyed himself so much he can back Saturday. We are a FANTASTIC group of SOC friends and for those of you missed it YOU MISSED ALOT. But remember we have a 70th birthday party in two years.
Comments: A FINE collection of pics. Definitely some surprises ... like Mike Egan and Jackie Moe! |
