Comments: M. Peters, I should caution you that it is one of those hobbies that will turn you into someone like those craggy gold prospectors of 1849. After only a few months in the field you will begin to exchange subtle, knowing nods with strangers you meet who also have detectors. Its like a Skull & Bones club for cheap losers. Don't say I didn't warn you. Save yourself while you can.
Comments: Special thanks to John Southworth for the information.
Comments: Memo to Mike P.: I sent you the requested info on metal detectors. As a follow-up to my recent report about looking for a lost men's gold wedding band - our team of five did NOT find it. However, I received an email on Saturday evening from the ring's owner. He said a parent found the ring between two adjacent soccer fields and turned it in to the park's Lost & Found dept. He is now in possession of it and greatly relieved. All the searching effort was not wasted. In the center of the field I did find my first Dollar Coin for this year. It is a 2000 Sacagawea coin sometimes called the "golden dollar" because it has a goldish color to it. One of my buddies speculated that maybe it was used for the coin toss to see which team gets the ball first? 
Comments: Mr. Southworth sir. Can you respond by email (don't clutter up our Guest Book) with some recommendations for a metal detector, you know one that is fairly inexpensive and rather easy to use. Thanks a lot. Mike
Comments: Raining and hailing in Lake Highlands!!! Yea!!!
Comments: It actually rained last evening and a nice 15 minute rain this morning!
Comments: Thank you for sharing the link on the boat rescues of 9/11 Charlotte. I am like one of the other viewers - surprised there has never been any mention of this in the sequence of so much coverage of 9/11. What a wonderful tribute to the human spirit of giving all they could. Thank you God for the rains so badly needed. Bill, I hope you were able to enjoy the rain all night long.
Comments: Sweetness! It's been raining in Arlington for about three hours.
Comments: After seeing Sharon Reeves' note about "moving from East Dallas to O.C.", I realized that Oak Cliff and Orange County, CA are both "O.C."!! Isn't that a laugh?? We all grew up and went to high school in "O.C."!!!
Comments: Ken IS trouble!  This is a part of 9/11 I was not aware of. It is the Boat Lift action to rescue people. Interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDOrzF7B2Kg&feature=youtu.be
Comments: Ken, you're gonna be in big trouble!
Comments: Pocket? It's a wedding ring. Tell him to check his nose.
Comments: Hey, John, did you ask the guy if he looked in his pocket?
Comments: I'm a member of two metal detecting clubs and today got an email from the president of the Tomball club. A 45 yr. old guy lost his wedding band Sunday at a soccer field in The Woodlands and was seeking help in recovering it. He contacted the club and they got me involved since I live closest to the site. So I spoke with the hapless ring loser. He's been married two years and of course wants it back. He could go out and buy a replacement, but it's not the same and would cost far more at today's gold prices. He described the ring as being a plain 14k band with no inscriptions. He says it is a "Comfort Fit" style with rolled edges (but I've never heard that description before). I've enlisted a team of 4 other guys with detectors to join me early Thursday morning and attempt to cover the dimensions of a soccer field. Should be challenging. We shall see if the conclusion is Treasure Island or Mission Impossible ...
Comments: In just 15 minutes Survivor: South Pacific begins a new season! After a long, slow summer my life again has PURPOSE! I'll go out on a limb here and predict that "Coach", my mentor and role model, will emerge as the victor at the end. You heard it here first.
Comments: Had one of those "small world" moments yesterday. Had to have a secondary cataract removed, and while waiting with the others having the same procedure, I struck up a conversation with a 93-year-old lady. Turns out she lived in the Cedar Crest subdivision of Oak Cliff years ago. Her oldest daughter graduated from Adamson, but her youngest graduated from SOC (she thinks in '67 - Linda McNeese?). She was delighted to find someone from the old neighborhood and reminisced quite a bit. The laser surgery took 2 minutes and it was like a miracle again. I can see!
Comments: If any one would like to help us build a Habitat house this Fall, you can sign up at the following link. The house will be in south Ft. Worth and the dates are Oct 22, 29 and Nov 5,12. The group on the web site is Southlake Boulevard Presbyterian Church. If you like to hit things with a hammer, here's your chance. Standard union wages apply during the week. http://trinitygroupsandsponsors.volunteerhub.com/SignIn.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fEvents%2fBrowse.aspx
Comments:  Never Forget !!!!!!!!!!!
Comments: Lynell, Thank you for posting this great photo! Isn't it just now, ten years later, that we are starting to realize how good we had things before 9/11? Like when John F. Kennedy was shot, the November after we graduated --something was lost in all of us, and we value each other all the more...
Comments: Remembering.
Comments: Ginger, Hospice is wonderful. I am so glad that they have accepted your mom and will help her now stay pain free. Hopsice helps all family members during this process. May your mother live through out her days in peace and contentment and I pray for your peace, strength and contentment too.
Comments: Two more Socites tied the knot in matrimony today. Danny Willard left us a note on Facebook that Danny Kaumeyer (class of 64) and Pam Orr-Soules (class of 65) were married today. Congratulations to Pam and Danny. I know several of you in this class know them both and share in their happiness today.
Comments: Well..Jim/Jimmy...I don't remember what the prize was, but my my mother always had us go to all the revival services..and 'Pack the Pews'.. Grace Temple Baptist, then Hillcrest Baptist Church. Mary Gene was a good friend always and such a good picture of her in the Eaglette uniform. I liked her dad and her mom, too. Thanks for sharing.. I'm here to report that my mother, Dorothy Virginia Hearn, was put on Hospice last night after the second hospital stay. She is at the Vista Ridge Nursing and Rehabilitation Ctr. in Lewisville. There was a sigh of relief by people, including 'on my mother's face', when it was decided that she will be cared for at the nursing home. Ginger Hearn
Comments: Okay, Ginger Hearn -- (And Others are Welcome to Read!) This memory of Mary Gene Florence is especially for you -- I remember you with much joy from Harold Budd, although we were not in the same classes, and we did not know each other well. But, one day at Boude Storey, Mary Gene said, "Ginger Hearn is needing people to come to a youth revival at her church and she will win a big prize if she has the most visitors!" Of course, we all wanted to help, so Mary Gene invited 12 people and we all showed up at your church!! You were amazed, and you were very appreciative. And, I remember thinking, "Now, THIS is how friendship should work!!" Obviously, Mary Gene valued your friendship very much, and would do anything for a friend! With Fond Memories, Jim
Comments: Jim(my), thank you for the walk down memory lane with your touching and sweet story. Mary Gene was a lovely person and would adore you remembering her is such a wonderful way. She and I were also friends at Cliff Temple before Boude Storey. I loved seeing her obit pictures. She had such beautiful white hair. You are so right...she was very smart....that is one sure thing we did NOT have in common!
Comments:  Those of you who know, will know, and words are not necessary.
Comments: My Fellow SOCites, I spent an hour last night looking at the 1961 SOC Den and reliving so many good memories with all of you! I will miss Mary Gene Florence very much because she "polished me up" at such an early age and made me a better human... If you want to say, "Hi", please feel free to email me
Comments: Jim Stegall, whom we knew as Jimmy back at Storey and our first year at SOC, has written a lovely tribute to our Mary Gene Florence. It's on the Guest Column page. Thanks a million, Jimmy -- er, Jim! I remember you, and so do plenty of others in this group.
Comments: I haven't been on campus at NT since 1980! And the last time I drove north on I-35 has been at least 15 years. It seems like we are always going east or south. I would like to see the new stadium. I just hope the Mean Green will be able to fill it! I'm so glad it's football season again.
Comments: Please pray for all the unfortunate people being impacted by the wildfires, and for all the firefighters working so hard. if you're near my office and want to drop off supplies (water, Gatorade, pollution-type masks, energy bars, etc., I will be delivering them to the firefighters over the next few days. |
