Comments: Take a look at some of the reunion pictures on the Images page. I regret that so many people were missed, and I hope that someone will send me some more photos. Many thanks to Martha Bass Hunt and Lonnie Harmon for sending theirs! If you click Slideshow in the top right, the pictures should scroll. Looks like a fine time was had by all.
Comments: Thank you, Lonnie! It took a while to download the pictures, and I had some doctor appointments today for routine stuff, leaving me a little overly chillaxed from Valium. Whee! I'll try to get them posted tomorrow. Anybody else have any reunion photos they would like to share? Just send them to me. I have a few from Martha Bass Hunt and some of my own, but it looks like some people might have been missed.
Comments: I will be sending reunion photos to Lynell as soon as possible. I am swamped with this type of work right now. These photos are carefully processed to the best of my abilities and I have many more to go. There are a few on Facebook right now. These will be sent to Lynell tonite I hope. I have many photos and they are very large file sizes making it even more difficult to get them to Lynell. The video is in work also and will contain these photos plus more. Besides it is more fun to wait a while to see all of this! There were other folks taking pictures and hopefully they will send them to Lynell also. Thanks to the hard working Peaches and commitee for the great reunion!
Comments: I am packing away all SOC 63 50th Highschool Reunion decorations in my attic this morning, addressed directories to be mailed this week and updated our registration list. Those of you who order tee shirts I have to find envelopes to mail them in first. We had 150 attend Saturday night (159 paid and 9 did not show for various reasons several were sick) and seven teachers attended. We had 104 Friday night (4 did not show). We had a fantastic time (I know I did). I looked over our list and I missed about 7 of you on Saturday nigth. I really did not have time to visit for very long our entire ball room was full except the corners (giggle giggle) but in two years we will have our 70th birthday party with nothing planned but visiting. You made our Reunion a great success. My ony regrete is I did not take a single picture. I had my camera but it never made it out. I would love to have pictures and be willing to pay premium prcie for them. Remember we are selling the 40th Reunion dvd and Lonnie Harmon will sell the video he took Friday and Saturday night. Call me for details (you all should my phone number by now). Love you SOCites........63 is the BEST class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill graduated from Lancaster High School in 1947 and received a Bachelor's degree in History/Education from Howard Payne University in 1952 and Master's Degree in History from UNT. He served in the U.S. Army from 1952-1954.

He retired in 2008, but was passionate about making a difference in the lives of his athletes, students, and friends.

A public Memorial Service will be held at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, October 29th at Irving Bible Church.
Comments: Brenda, it was great to see you. I'm sorry about your back pain. I guess your career as a floor-hauler will be on hold for a while.
Comments: As usual...Peaches and the committee did a wonderful job putting together the reunion.I enjoyed seeing everyone...sorry I didn't get to spend time with everyone..I kinda found a spot and didn't move around alot due to back pain..finally went to the Doctor today and told I have osteoarthritis of my lumbar and nerve compression and bone spurs.Now isn't that just what I needed...guess I won't be doing alot of lifting anymore!!!
Comments: I had a wonderful time at the Reunion and thank everyone who worked so hard to make that possible. My only regret is that I didn't get to reconnect with nearly as many people as I'd hoped, simply because of the shortness of time. Maybe at some of the future between-reunion events?
Comments: Had a wonderful time Sat night at your reunion. It was decorated so beautifully. Enjoyed visiting with so many '63 friends I haven't seen in awhile. As always, you did a great job Peaches & Committee!! Thank you for letting me share your in your fun!!

Comments: Great 50th reunion. Ron and I had a wonderful time visiting with my golden friends. Thanks Peaches and the Committee for all your hard work putting this together.
Comments: Aaargh! I didn't take many pictures, and the ones I did take were pretty crummy overall. If anyone has reunion pictures they'd like me to post on this website, please send them to me!
Comments: Bill and I enjoyed ourselves immensely last night. We have outstanding leaders in our class, I would also like to thank those from other classes for attending. This was one of the best reunions I have been to, although I did not mingle too much because of my immune system.
Comments: Thanks to Peaches and all the organizers for a great reunion. Jeannette (Schafer) and I enjoyed
Comments: Wow. That's all I can say this morning after two nights of fantastic reunion parties. Nostalgia, laughs, good food, and best of all friendship and conversation with my beloved fellow SOCites. I had a wonderful time. Thank you, thank you, Reunion Committee!!

He was our hero!...........Danny thanks for the history lesson about our WW Bushman!
Comments: I have short term Memory Loss. Sorry for the repeated subjects. I'll probably tell many of you people the same story many times this week end. I am still the same Danny Green
Comments: I ran Track at Boude Storey. I was in the Pre-eliminary events for the 100 Yd. Dash. Larry Libby held the City Record & maybe the State Record for this event. Larry's Name was BIG in those days. To me he was Big. Larry graduated in '61. 10 seconds flat in the 100 yd. dash. This was unheard of in those days. Coach Hitt came just before I was to run my event at Sprague Field. Put his arm around me Looked me straight into my eyes & said, "Danny, you have improved wonderfully this season. yOU CAN BREAK lARRY'S CITY RECORD. tHE ONLY THING THAT WILL STOP YOU IS speed!!.................. A TRUE STORY!! Coach Hitt was right. In my heart I ran a 9.8 100 yd. dash. Didn't qualify. I called W.W. Bushman today They told me the same story by another person. I asked again "tell me what the W. W. They said for the second time. it stands for Woodrow Wilson Bushnan. They believe that. I got mad. Loudly told him he is SOOO Wrong. He transferred me to a lady principle. She told me the same thing. I unloaded on her. She begged me to tell her what it stood for. Mr. Bushman Loved people & Hated Wednesday with a passion. I told her At One time there was aPlaque on the Wall THAT TellS all about mAJOR WILLIAM wALTER BUSHMAN. & WHY THE sCHOOL WAS NAMED AFTER tHIS great Man. To think rthey probably get Mail for employees at Woodrow Wilson Bushman. IF my father had not talked so much about him & all he influenced him to stay in School. Mr. Bushman had the same desires back then. to go serve his country & he did quitt school as aPrinciple & went to War. Read "Flying the HUMP"@ Google
