Just a quick note to thank Tanya Leverett for her post about the passing and funeral of Anna Mary Wilson.  Anna Mary, her husband Kenneth and of course their three lovely daughters, Carolyn, Jean and June were very much a part of my formative years at Wesley Methodist Church.  The entire Wilson family was an integral part of the youth movement, MYF, which for many years played a pivotal role in many of our youth's lives at Wesley.  The past couple of days since I read Tanya's note brought back so many wonderful memories of my youth and seeing "the girls" yesterday at Elmwood and our visit was priceless.  It was great seeing you Tanya and Gary and thank you again for your note here on the '63 guest book about Anna Mary's passing.

Charlotte and Lynell, and for all those who do not wish to receive those hundreds of emails from FB in the SOC Group, Go to: Account Settings, then Click on Notifications.   Scroll down to Groups, then click on the "Change email settings for individual groups".  A box will come up that has a box checked for SOC Group, unclick that box and hit Save settings.   This will eliminate all those pesky emails coming through.  Hope this helped some.

 There are advantages to not being as popular as Lynell and Charlotte. I receive only a few emails from fb a week.

 I quite agree about FB.  Even though I have set it NOT to e-mail me every time there's a message, some days I get 30 e-mails a day from them.  I'm not sure how to prevent this, if their settings won't stop it.  sigh.

Charlotte, Vick is living in the Austin area, has a young oriental wife and he plays golf a lot.  Gary talked to him when they were trying to get the Guys Barbecue lunch going back when Charlie Hardt was still with all of us.   He sayd Vick seemed very happy.   On another note, I believe you and Lynell and several others on this site remember the Wilson twins, Jean and June from Boude Storey, they went on to Adamson.  Their mother passed away today and her service will be at the Elmwood United Methodist Church, 1315 Berkley Ave in Oak Cliff at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday April 19th.  I have Jean Wilson-Meyer's address and email if any of you would like to have it, just email me and I will send it to you.

Cynthia, Henry was in the carpet and flooring business, took it over from one of his partners Vic Haak, former Boude Storey boy and Adamson graduate.  Hope I spelled the name correctly, Charlotte correct me on Vic's name, I know you knew him too.

Of all things, this morning going through my neighborhood on my way to work, I passed a large truck that had Coomes Air Conditioning.  It was at a home in the neighborhood.  I remember Mary telling me her faither was a fireman.  Made me wonder if maybe prior to his health concerns Henry had a HVAC company and just maybe if this could be his son continuing the business.  Not too often you run across the name Coomes.

To the class of 63, we have several in our class of 65 greatly in need of prayers right now so send some up if you can for these sweet people:  Vicki Liles-Redden (Sister to Lena) who is in her second bout with ovarian cancer, half-way through chemo right now, Phyllis Kelley going through her radiation treatments for her cancer, Paul Jennings (brother to Ronnie Jennings class of 62) has a staph infection that they cannot locate to cure him and it is affecting his liver and vital organs, Tommy Barr recovering from quadruple bypass last week and Bob Dees currently undergoing radiation for his cancer.  Thank you for praying for all our SOC friends.

I can ask him too, I think he should.  Men, they drag their feet sometimes and I feel like I need a cattle prod to get him up and going.  I know Henry would like to hear from him so I may just dial the number and hand the phone to Gary and see what happens.  Might work!   Will let you all know what we find out.

That should have read Henry Coomes, I hit the wrong key in a glitch. 

Charlotte, last we talked with Henry Coomesu was back before Charlie Hardt (Adamson 63) passed away.  Henry came to a barbecue guys luncheon, one of the first he had attended with people from SOC in a long time.  At that time, he had told Gary he had heart problems, I believe he had a heart attack before that and was doing therapy.  I was told Henry is at Medical City in Dallas right now and may be awaiting a heart transplant, but the heart transplant was hear-say and not for certain if that is the case or not.  Some of his old friends may want to call at Medical City and talk/visit with him, I am sure he would love hearing from all.   Henry's sister Mary graduated with me in 65.

I just read on FB (in a round about way) that Henry Combs has had heart issues and has a pace maker.  I pray is is doing well.  Does anyone here keep in touch with him?

I remember the electric buses too.  I was somewhat frightened by them because of the sparks that shot out.  I also remember that we rode buses everywhere and they were usually standing room only.  Now all I see are ones that have 2 or 3 people on them.  I guess the Dart trains are getting the most business.  I still see people at the bus stops, however.  Where I live in south Garland, I see bus stop signs but I've never seen a bus!

The street on which I live -- Bishop AVE -- is 6 lanes wide and used to have a trolley run down the middle.  When I first moved there, you could still see the tracks emerging through the pavement down at the corner of Bishop and Davis.  I think Burlington must have had tracks down the center, too, judging from how it is made, like the "2 Frios."  Tenth ST, too, between Jefferson and Sunset HS.  Recently, they had an article in the Dallas Morning News about how Marlboro and Jefferson used to be a big transit hub for the streetcars, also.  I remember riding streetcars when we lived in Detroit, but the only remaining remnant when we moved here -- in 1957 -- was the electric buses, with a cable overhead but no tracks, just rubber wheels.

The Interurban used to go from Waco to Sherman (or Denison, I forget which) and from Terrell (or Greenville) to Weatherford -- and all points in between -- for 20 cents.  The streetcar is coming back to Oak Cliff, but it won't be going much of anywhere, at least at first, just from Union Station across the Houston ST Bridge to Zang, Zang to Colorado, Colorado to Beckley, Beckley to W Commerce, then back across the Commerce ST Bridge to Houston ST and Union Station.  But, my Grandsons will like it, since their frequent light rail excursions all over the Metroplex -- seeking out the perfect skateboarding location -- seem to all start at Union Station, and they'll be able to hop the trolley to get there.  Ultimately, the developers of the Davis ST and FT Worth AVE corridors would like the trolleys to service them, going all the way out to Hampton.

Thank you Brenda, loved having you and Barney stand up for us 10 years ago today.   Blessings!
