Comments: Thanks for the info, Phyllis. The Texas state parks also are very accomodating to geocachers. On March 12, 2011 there will be a state-wide geocache hunt at Huntsville State Park. Here is a link to the event (hope it works)" http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC2FDX2
Comments: According to yesterday's Dallas Morning News, the Louisiana State Parks are involved in geocaching, Geo Johnny.
Comments: I think we should all remember one of the real heroes of out class this Veteran's Day__BROOKS BARR.
Comments: Well said Lynell - thanks so much for the sacrifices you unselflessly gave and freedoms you provided for us! May God bless you with peace and happiness knowing we all benefited from your giving.
Comments:
Thank you, Veterans!
Comments: Wow, Jen just put it all out there. I am not sure Hawaii is the place to live if you are broke. Your adventures just keep getting more interesting John. Peaches, marked the 5th on my calendar. Thanks for hosting.
Comments: To quote an old Rod Stewart song ... "Every picture tells a story, don't it?". Yesterday I found another micro-geocache near a Chase Bank. The cache was just a simple pill bottle that contained a tightly rolled up log to sign and a card from a woman named Jen proclaiming she'd found the geocache (on May 22nd). The card invited us to follow her exploits on her weblog at http://jnnfr271.blogspot.com/ I signed the log with my geocaching handle "hwyhiker" and left the two coins shown in the pic. Last night I looked up Jen's blog hoping to be enthralled with her geocaching adventures. Instead, what I found was the sad life of a divorced mother living in Houston and making plans to move she and her daughter to Hawaii. Jen had recently been served papers by a creditor and was in fear of having her bank account garnished. She was experiencing the angst and complications of being involved with a married man. Her debt situation left her wary of answering the door or the phone. Apparently her escape from her problems is riding her bike and geocaching. We all have a story to tell. Jen's picture on that card led me to learn her's. 
Comments: Phil, I don't think so neither of us has a Passport. And besides, just here in The Woodlands there are over 4,000 concealed geocaches to be found. Should keep us busy for awhile.
Comments: John, will geocache take you and Dru overseas?
Comments: SAVE THE DATE!!!! Sunday, December 5th, 2010, SOC Annual Christmas Luncheon at Peaches's home. More details later.
Comments: Peaches, you were standing on a chair for that picture so that you could be seen        !!John, what a great photo of Dru. I am having fun reading of your adventures and I know y'all are having fun together.
Comments: How cool John - so where did you drop it? Just kidding - hope you got it a long ways east....
Comments: Enjoyed the old picture of the Cliff Temple kids. I think the girl standing next to Charlotte may be Carol Ann Moore and she did attend another school. Hmmmm...I notice that Charlotte did not have anything bad to say about "wine" on her posters!!! JS, I have enjoyed your GEO adventures. Keep the reports coming.
Comments: I'll have to admit Dru and I are having fun with our geocaching adventures. We just got back from a long weekend in Kerrville where we attended the Texas Miata Roundup (along with 150 others). Had a great time and drove some fantastic roads. I went online and found there were two geocaches hidden within two-tenths of a mile from our hotel. On Saturday afternoon we had some free time so we got out the GPS and tracked down both caches. Here is a pick of the cache Dru spotted. It was hidden in a clump of boulders behind the Kerrville Visitor Center. In it was a Geo-Star trackable item that had been in 3 states and has a "mission" to be moved to all 50 states. So it is our job to move it eastward and drop it in another cache down the road. 
Comments: I was reading a magazine in the breakroom at work today, and ran into an article on geocaching, which I had never heard of before Geo Johnny got into it. The article is in the July, 2010 issue of Prevention (we have old magazines in our breakroom).
Comments: No, that is not Jackie Moe. That is Carolyn ?? Eddins. She went to another school. Look how tall I was in those days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You girls outgrew me.
Comments: Back in april of this year I attended the funeral of Ms McCord, of course Mary's mother. Also in attendance was one among numerous lovely ladies, one I had not seen since SOC days, Jackie Moe. In the Cliff Temple pic is a very blonde fair skin girl on Liz's right. Is that Jackie?
Comments: In that pic, I also like the backdrop depicting a "6-Twelve" store. Whatever could that be a play on?
Comments: Oh, and there is Karen Jones too!!
Comments: Ha...look at us............Liz Gerbets and Peaches and me......those other girls went to Adamson and Sunset I guess........I drew those two posters...that is MY drawing of a BEER bottle..oh no...how did I know what one looked like!!???? I think some of the girls glued the pic of Cliff Temple on one of them. MEMORIES!! 
Comments: What a great pic of Charlotte. Do I see Peaches and Liz Gerbetz in that photo?
Comments: Charlotte you are easily recognized in the phot
Comments: Here are those sweet little Cliff Temple kids. http://lynell.smugmug.com/School/Oak-Cliff/14549781_y5AQg#1081110857_ASqPZ-A-LB
Comments: When I was about 11 years old I helped make posters at Cliff Temple to place around on Jefferson. They were Keep Oak Cliff Dry posters........haaa!! Oh, I worked hard on those posters to keep that demon alcohol out of our community. haaaaaaa!
Comments: Watch it! If you remember, I was about to enter the seminary when I hooked up with you guys.
Comments: Thanks to Akins and Baker, it was always pretty wet for me.
Comments: Oak Cliff goes wet! Hard to believe after 54 years being dry.
Comments: Great article in the News, Phyllis. Usually the writers just make up things and have an agenda. This seemed legitimate. What a different world it was back then. I remember being told not to tell anyone my parents were divorced. It made for an interesting childhood.
Comments: There's an interesting article in the Metro section of today's Dallas Morning News about the 40th reunion of the Class of 1970 at R. L. Turner HS. At the serious risk of over-simplification, it contrasts the smiling faces in the yearbook with what several students were actually experiencing at that time. It reminded me -- among other things -- of an event at our 20th when someone won the prize for oldest child with a 21-year-old child. As the article said, "[o]fficially, there were no pregnant girls...in 1970 -- only girls who came to class one day and disappeared the next." That's just one of the issues they cited. Check it out if you get a chance. I think virtually everything is accessible at the Dallas Morning News website.
