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.
Comments: Till the Indian Ocean is only the Ocean.
Comments: Yeah, and the beautiful red wildflower is only "paint brushes" now...how far do we have to take this PC?
Comments: Jack, maybe Indian Springs was named for the citizens of Mumbai???
Comments: Wow, John. As a PC person, I can't believe that you went to a place called Indian Springs Shopping Center!!
Comments: John, somehow I think this new obsession of yours is going to ultimately end up badly, when you enter a lot,yard, etc. where the owner isn't aware of the game
Comments: You couldn't get away with fumbling around the bases of light poles in Dallas, Geo Johnny. We have too many copper thieves stealing the copper cable out of them. At least, that's the excuse we're given when reporting that the streetlights are out for miles-long stretches! And, God knows, you would be taking your life and liberty in your hands by daring to open a pill bottle concealed there.
Comments: I'm writing to the President to suggest Geo Johnny and Geo Dru for the Bin Laden case!
Comments: I got word of a new geocache that had been hidden back on Oct. 19th. This morning Dru and I plugged in the GPS coordinates and went in search of it. The GPS took us about 4 miles to the Indian Springs shopping center. We parked the car and were quickly with 6 ft. of GZ (Ground Zero)[at "ground zero" means you are zero ft. from your destination]. What faced us was a little wooded thicket, lots of ground cover and a light pole? We focused on the light pole since it was the dominant feature. Looked all around it. For no particular reason we tried to lift the metal housing at the base of the pole and WHAMMO ... there was the cache! A very small Walgreen's pill bottle that housed a miniature log to sign and a neato PathTag (custom geo-coin). We were the 6th "finders" to sign the log. Our fourth successful hunt. ![]()
Comments: Charlotte and the Temptations?
Comments: Can't really see us as The Supremes. More like Charlotte and The Vandellas!
Comments: Guess that leaves me out Lynell....haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Ouida, Sara, Gaylan, Sara, Jud, Phil, Sandra, Bill, Patricia, Peaches, Kathleen, John,Shannon and numerous others?...uh...who will step up to this challenge? Oh, my parents tried, but, it was a lost cause! ![]()
Comments: Ms. Ferraro looks like she could kick the behind of anyone in D.C. at the moment. Too bad her husband had issues. She would be nice to have around. The SOC Honor Roll Cluster would make up a fine bunch of Supremes. Despite the pouring rain. there's been a steady turnout at the polling place across the street. Haven't seen any expired paper tags. God Bless the honest poll sitters. That must be gruelling. |
