I am so sorry to hear of the death of Bob Spann.  My sincere condolences to Rhonda, John David, Michael and the rest of his family.  Bob was the first boy I ever kissed, at the Crest Theater.  As adults, I had the honor of being his attorney in the child custody case from hell, in which he and his family were falsely accused of being Satanists, and his younger son was abducted and taken underground by his then-wife.  After a long -- and very expensive fight -- we were ultimately successful in court.  Bob and his Mother did alot of brilliant and tireless detective work on their own and personally generated the leads that resulted in the FBI locating and returning his son and arresting the perpetrator.  In the process, we traveled to New York to appear on a Donahue Show program about False Memory Syndrome -- at the time, hoping to generate publicity that would lead to the child's recovery -- and, later, to Las Vegas simply to decompress.  We enjoyed ourselves at the 20th and 30th SOC reunions, and I was looking forward to seeing Rhonda and him again, in October.  RIP, Bob.

(Peaches asked me to post this).  Some of you might know that Peaches' brother, Rob, had quadruple bypass surgery this week.  She is in Washington, D.C. with him.

Update on Rob, Peaches' brother. He is still recovering well from his quadruple bypass surgery; however, there are some secondary problems regarding his gastric system. He is not eating or drinking anything. Xrays have been ordered and surgeon is coming to talk to them. Please continue to pray for Rob Sweezy for continued healthy recovery from his surgery, and pray that the doctors can successfully treat Rob's gastric symptoms. Peaches will update me later.

Please remember Rob in your prayers and for Peaches who is with him everyday and will be taking care of him for awhile when he goes home.

It's almost time for Warriors Weekend in Port O'Connor.  If you are the least bit patriotic, this is one event you should attend.  They are anticipating 500 Warriors this year and my friend and I will again be taking a couple of Warriors fishing on Saturday.  Take a few minutes to visit their website and, if you can't attend, they would appreciate any contribution no matter how small.  If you can attend, let me know and we can visit

My computer froze up yesterday, so I am using my boss's, which is okay since he doesn't know how to turn it on!  I didn't actually see this last night but heard about it this morning and laughed myself silly.  Channel 8 News was doing the bit about the expansion of Kyle Field at A&M, but unfortunately, the UT fight song was playing in the background!  I wonder how many heads will roll for that.

Paper Doll by The Mills Brothers
- written by Johnny S. Black, 1915
- lyrics as recorded by The Mills Brothers in 1942

I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real

When I come home at night she will be waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl

I guess I had a million dolls or more
I guess I've played the doll game o'er and o'er
I just quarrelled with Sue, that's why I'm blue
She's gone away and left me just like all dolls do

I'll tell you boys, it's tough to be alone
And it's tough to love a doll that's not your own
I'm through with all of them
I'll never ball again
Say boy, whatcha gonna do?

I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real

When I come home at night she will be waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl

Girls, let's bring back the paper doll. Brenda, you in? We can rebrand ourselves as the SOC '63 Paper Dolls. Heck fire, we graduated in paper robes, and half the boys we know (including my husband David) were paper boys at some point. We ARE the Paper Dolls!

Thanks, Lynell.  The mention of paper dolls reminded me of a time about 8 years ago and I kept my 9 and 6 year-old nieces for a couple of hours one afternoon so their mom could get some serious shopping done!  For years I always tried to keep games, toys, etc. on hand for those odd occasions when I had young children in my home.  To my surprise, there was a book of modern paper dolls.  We each picked one out and probably spent over an hour coloring outfits and mix-and-matching.  I can still remember the girls having a blast and taking their dolls home with them.

Oh, Sharon. Poor you!  Feel better soon. It seems like when ya get sick this time of year, it hangs on about twice as long as it should. My aunt used to give me paper dolls when I was laid up.  That's what you need, a nice new book of Katy Keen paper dolls. AND she made me tapioca pudding, the real kind with milk and eggs. 

Being sick wasn't so bad in the good old days!

I wish I could have been there Saturday, but you really didn't need someone with 102 fever hugging on everybody.  Whatever this crud is, I wish it would go away now.  Feeling better but not great even after a Z-Pak.  Can't wait to see everyone again soon.

I note that South Oak Cliff High School is one of the Dallas County early voting sites. It might be fun to go there and vote!

Thanks, Charlotte. You didn't get to see all the shaky pix. Wish I could learn how to hold a camera steady. It's too much like walking and chewing gum. I'm not very good at that either. ha.
