Hi, Mike Peters, 

Nice to see your post! The link didn’t come through, so here’s how it’s done: when you’re creating a post, see the two rows of icons above your text. The bottom row third icon from the left will give you a pop up window where you can add a link. 

Youā€˜re so right. By this age most of us have survived one thing or another. Some have survived more than their share!

This evening Fox 4 News had a story about the 1964 Golden Pheasant Restaurant fire in downtown Dallas. Dorothy Shamblin Averitte’s husband Bob was a young firefighter on the job that night. He had a nice TV interview. Four firefighters lost their lives in that fire.

Since we all lived in the era of Vietnam, I found this story of SSG Barry Sadler who sang the song, Ballad of the Green Beret. 

I don't know if we are allowed to add links in our guestbook but this video (on Youtube) is very interesting and brings back memories, both good and bad.  Hope it is okay.

We all are surviors in our own way and I appreciate all the experiences we have had over the years.

I’m sad to report to the Class of ā€˜63 that one of our own has passed away. Celi Lowrance Hamilton left this world earlier today. I don’t know any details, but I feel sure MaryKay crowder will keep us posted. Celi was a sweet, kindhearted person who will be missed.

The sun looks so nice this morning!

Donna and I got through icemaggedon with no damage to bodies, dwelling or vehicles. I attribute that to the fact that we stayed in our jammies all day Wednesday and Thursday.

We buried my 97-year-old aunt on Tuesday in East Texas but the weather was nice that day. And, I got to visit with a few cousins that I haven't seen in quite a few years.

I hope everyone else escaped the storm unscathed.

I hope everyone is making it through this cold, icy spell without any problem. I am very glad I don’t live where there’s a lot of this!

Barry, Best wishes. good news that you feel good. 
You know the ā€˜ol saying. ā€œIf you don’t like the weather in Texas, wait a minuteā€.  That seems to be what is happening to my area also. Freezing temps then warm again. I had little wildflowers blooming before the last freeze. Plants are very confused along with butterflies. ……and I am too as to what to wear each day. Haaaa. 

I’m just thinking about our ages……hard to believe to me. I’m just happy to have another year, but , Oh, the aches and pains come along with those years now.

Belated best wishes for the Holidays.  I'll be glad when the weather makes up its mind-cold one day wind from the north, warm the next day with strong south wind. Before long it will be hot all the time and I'll be longing for cooler weather.  I just wish we could get some rain!
I'm still getting stuck with needles and taking some unbeliebably expensive cancer pills.  I'm just glad that Joan has good health insurance.  Without it, these pills would be $30,000 a month.  With insurance, the copay is only $85.
I'm feeling as good as a 77 yr old overweight guy has a right to feel and we feel blessed.  In a few weeks, we plan to visit the Gulf coast for a couple of weeks and might even go fishing!
Take care and you guys are in my thoughts and prayers every day.

Merry Christmas to all as we celebrate the GREATEST GIFT of all Jesus Christ. By the way I always thought that Ginger Hearn lived on the same street as I Ewing. God Bless.

Hey all,
yes, I lived on Vanette lane and so did Karen Jones, Ginger
Hearn, Clyde Aiklen (probably spelled Clyde's last name
wrong) and Sherry Locke. Maybe a few more.
I've seen some houses for sale on
Vanette Lane for 7 times what we paid for ours. It was a nice street with pretty trees etc.
BY THE WAY, i hate what they've done to South Oak Cliff school.
I watched the football game. Good for them. But, I do not consider it my high school anymore. Ours is gone.

Ken, I agree about the map! That would be so interesting! I’m we all still remember where various friends lived that we could add to the map.

Hi, Mike Peters! Chime in here. 


Ken, I have student directories from our era, plus a Humble Happy Motoring map from back then. See, when you’re a pack rat (David’s words) you have all sorts of cool junique.

It seems some flippers have figured out our part of Oak Cliff was ten minutes from downtown, and the lots were large. It’s great to see this happening!

Today I had lunch with Martha Bass Hunt at her retirement place. Martha looks great, and we had fun — just like first grade. What a warrior Martha is.

$13,000 WOW! It would be great to have a map from1963 that showed where all the SOC kids lived. In October of 1966 (I had just turned 21 and Beverly had just turned 20), we paid $400 to assume a loan for $14,500 on a house in Polk Terrace. That house is now valued at $109,860. [rolleyes]

Wow, Leftnell, guess we should have held out a little longer before selling. I noticed 3810 Fortune Ln for sale for $227,900.... Beverly lived across the street at 3811. Also noticed several houses on Vanette..didn't Charlotte Mac live on that street?
