Comments: Yeah Peaches -sure hope I can come. Got a family reunion in July so I will be holding my breath! Sounds like fun.
Comments: A new annual Summertime luncheon is being planned at my house for the month of July. Your Annual Christmas Hostess and Hosts will be putting on the event. We will announce the date next week. Please RSVP (NO maybes or if you can not attend needed). We only need to know if you are coming so we will know how many sandwhiches to prepare. More information next week. If this is a success we will start having a Springtime luncheon (when it is cooler) every year plus Christmas luncheon at my house.
Comments: Thanks to everyone for sending the directions to Bob's peach orchard. I didn't get there but at least I know where it is. My 92-year-old mom was so tired from the reunion that we went straight home. Had a wonderful time and ate way too much good food. Heard a good one on the radio this morning. Cleveland disc jockey talking to Jody Dean said he heard it was LeBron James Day in Dallas today - everybody gets off work 12 minutes early!
Comments: Congratulations Mavs!
Comments: Congratulations MAVS!!! You are a great team and all of you seemed to be clean players and great sportsmen. Don't you know the Cleveland fans are happy tonight because Dallas won.
Comments: Ginger, how sad about your sister. And most of us appreciate large fonts at this age!
Comments: Sorry, didn't mean to make the print 'that large'.. It's impossible to tell how large one is making the print, when the choices..are #'s 1,2,3,4..etc.. I'm more familiar with 'actual font sizes'...
Comments: After the Oak Cliff....'white flight', they moved back in... really that neighborhood, that Vick Haak, Tommy McGowan, Mike Murphey grew up in, on Lakeview...which was on a hill across the street from a creek.. Charlene Hearn lived back in there..too. It was a pretty spot.. The house burned down, long after the Hearn's left.. When Fran, was in Jr. High...cheerleader at Boude Storey, she had a group of kids, called the Fran Hearn Fan Club. They would come up the hill and visit with Fran on that front porch.. Those were better times for her in Jr and Sr high school. She had been diagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder by the time she was 28.. Fran had lots of friends that had not seen her in years.. I have several that are on FB with me.. Several from the old Hillcrest Baptist Church that have emailed me and also a student in DISD... No one had seen her in about 10, 20, 30 yrs.. Her personality, her friends really, really changed about 10-12 yrs ago.. The Bi-Polar 'stuff' really took hold.. We've honored her any way we could. I had not seen her in years... She was disabled, and had physical problems that related to a Lithium-derivative medication..the 'drug of choice' for medical doctors dealing with the Bi-Polar Disorder.. an illness not to be taken lightly.. The drug damaged her muscles, which affected her heart.. She was 59... Fran was reading Ayn Rand...books, when she was 9-10 yrs of age.. she was known as Frannie...when she was a kid...
Comments: Ginger, did your sister go to Adamson because SOC wasn't built yet or did you live in a different school district? She was so beautiful!
Comments: Okay..just google whadamsonalumni.. and you'll eventually get there.. The other way..does not get you there...sorry..
Comments: The 1970 Adamson Leopardettes are honoring my sister, Fran Hearn by paying for a Leopardette, I believe an officer, to go to camp this summer.. Really sweet people.. You can go to www.whadamsonalumni.com.. or just google it and go to Leopard Talk and then posting at the top.. There's a picture of her, too, but you have to click on it and it takes you to Facebook.. Fran Hearn 1952- May 1, 2011 (If you're on the Oak Cliff Boomers on FB..you can see this anyway...) Ginger Hearn
Comments: Way to go, Mavs!!!
Comments: Good point, Barry. My bad! What was I thinking?
Comments: Thanks, Sandy. I knew it started with a "C" but could not remember it. If anyone does have directions, let me know within the next 20 minutes, because I'm leaving work and won't be back until Monday. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Comments: Sharon - For yrs all I knew was "Peach Guy". But his real name is Bob Clifton. For the life of me , I couldn't tell you how to find him! I bet another reader here can though.
Comments: Now, really, Jud. Do we want Johnny to have a CHL? Dru maybe, but not Johnny.
Comments: What is Bob's last name, the one who has the peach orchard? We are going to Canton this Saturday for a family reunion and if we have time, I thought we'd stop by, if I can find it, and see if he has any ice cream.
Comments: John, time for a CHL?
Comments: Love reading geo Johnny and others. Heads up please. I don't think I have posted this here before, but if I have, please forgive me. I am currently working on a Deb History project. I have managed to acquire info from the very beginning through 1962. I have communicated with a couple of folks from the 63/forward group, but have nothing to include from those years. I plan to see Miss Thomas soon and would love to have as much as possible to share with her. I will share it all with everyone when it is complete. If you have yearbooks with photos/names of Debs for the years '63-67, please send them to me via email as soon as possible. That's ASAP! Thank you so much for any and all efforts to help with this! Have a beautiful day!
Comments: Geo-johnny: Maybe its time to get one of those personal locating beacons. Or, for less money, BoatUS has an app that will send your GPS coordinates to anyone of your choice and they can come find you. You are far too valuable to end up lost forever, or worse, dead. Just keep your eyes open and make sure your companion is more menacing that you are!
Comments: Thanks, Barry, for the comforting story. NOT! I get more worried when I'm metal detecting than when I'm geocaching. For one thing, between the detector, cell phone, camera and such, I'm carrying about $1,000 worth of pawnable merchandise. Some days I end up in some older, seedy neighborhoods searching old, old parks. Have had a couple of scares. Finally started bringing a buddy with me - safety in numbers. My biggest worry about geocaching is getting lost in the woods on some of them. Twice I got turned around and took over an hour to find my way back to my parked car. I still haven't figured out how to use the "track-back" feature of my GPS.
Comments: Another geocacher? Had a guy pick up his car yesterday and he was on his way to the NW to do some geo caching. John, I thought of you. He said he was sometimes worried about being mugged or killed in some of the more remote spots when looking for a cache. I told him I had read about a serial killer that goes around to remote locations in order to find geocachers out alone. He seemed concerned. Better watch your back!
Comments: I really enjoyed the luncheon Saturday. Thanks to Betty and all the photographers, shaky or not. John, my boys would have got a bus transfer and never darkened our doorway again but he would have been a cool neighbor.
Comments: John, what an embarrassing parent. He seems to need a lot of attention. Betcha some of the former paperboys in our group could tell some stories. I know my husband has a few.
Comments: As a kid on Calcutta Drive, I thought my next door neighbor was weird. Mr. Blackburn was the guy who insisted that his newspaper be "porched" each morning. When the newsboy came to collect, Blackburn would throw his payment (in change) out into the yard and yell "If I have to look for my paper, you can go look for your money!". Why couldn't I have had a cool neighbor like this guy who went out of his way to embarrass his son each day when the school bus stopped in front of the house: http://waveatthebus.blogspot.com/
Comments: Shout out to the Lonster. Please send me your pictures you'd like to have posted on this site. LS
Comments: Sharon,Would love to see you.Please try to make next one.You are such a special friend! I miss you a lot! Oh.And thanks for the compliment.Lonnie is a whizz with a lens!
Comments: Looks as if everyone was having a really good time on Saturday. Skip, you look great. I'll try really hard to make the next one because I want to see everyone again.
Comments: Okay - so the setting next time will be pets and kids. Never experienced the blurr before - think the hands are getting shaky maybe? Service was great and the crowd was too - good job Betty!
Comments: That was a great luncheon, Sandy -- lousy light for picture-taking, but what a fun lunch! |
