I remember Donnie Lawson and Albert Lawson from the days in Hillcrest Baptist Church. I never would have imagined that I would soon be 80 years old and in good shape. Reminded of a night when Roger Davis and I raced thru the streets around Davis Ave in a corvette as speed was our goal.

Our class of 1965 lost two young men as well this week, Donnie Lawson and Steve Tenpenny.  Prayers are for those left behind who will miss their loved ones at this time.  Still feels like yesterday we were all laughing at each other from our past reunions, and looking around the room, the crowd gets a little smaller each day.  God Bless our high school friends.

Sadly another name has been added to our list of SOC ‘63 Angels. 

Kevin Zablosky has posted this on Facebook: "Tracy and myself wanted to share that our father Olin Wayne Zablosky passed away peacefully Monday evening February 23rd.
He was surrounded in love and care and we are so grateful to everyone who visited, reached out, or supported him in any way. He was truly blessed to have the friends, SOC classmates, co workers, and family that he had. He reminded me all the time these past few weeks of that when I visited or talked to him. So thank y’all again. He will be deeply missed. We will be hosting a celebration of his life at Z Floor offices ( 350 Betchan Ave) in Lake Dallas on Friday March 27th at Noon. We will have plenty of food, good stories, and 50s sock hop music playing in the background. Hope to see y’all there."

We said goodbye to Sharon Reeves yesterday. At her graveside service were quite a few family and friends and a few folks from the SOC Class of '63 (Me and Donna, Pat Vessels, Peaches and Gary Deatherage.)
Lots of Sharon stories and tales were told. As most of us know she was always laughing and telling tales about herself, even until the final few days. She was what my mom and grandmother would have called "a Hoot"!)
Sharon, you will be missed by many!

I received a call from Wayne Zablosky today. He fell at his home and went to the hospital for 7 days. He did not break any bones. His feet and legs are not working good so he is in rehab now. He said he is doing well. Let’s pray for ac rapid recovery! 🍑🍑

I had not seen Larry in years but I can still remember when we were playing football at Zumwalt.  We were the slowest guys on the team and when Coach Hodge would have us run laps, Larry and I were always the last to finish.  He was a good friend and I only wish that we had stayed in touch over the years.

I'm sorry to hear about Larry. I last saw him quite a few years ago in Midlothian, where he was the pastor of a small Baptist church. Donna and I drove over one Wednesday evening and got to visit with him for quite a while.

RIP Larry.

Charlotte, I am truly sad for your great loss of the love of your life. You two built a strong foundation of love and happiness during your 60 years of marriage. I always thought you were such an adorable couple!! I know the horrible pain and emptiness you are feeling. I have no words of wisdom to ease that pain but I promise Jesus will be with you and hold you tight! Know I love you, dear friend!! I am here if you need to talk or anything!

I just learned of the passing of another classmate, Larry Pool. I shared a post on Facebook from his grand daughter. If I learn of any details I will post. I did not get to know him as an adult but he was a super teenager and so smart!

I’m saddened at the news of Sharon‘s death. I just loved her. She was a special person.

Lost my best friend, Sharon, and Roommate from North Texas.  What a special person she was and I can still see that sweet smile she freely gave to everyone.  I did get to see her in December with Peaches and we had two great visits - laughing like high school girls.  Rest in peace Sharon, my friend.  

Charlotte - I remember how sweet you and your husband were to Jerry and I when we moved to Denton so Jerry could finish his last semester at North Texas.  I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I know, because it happened to me, God will take care of you.  God Bless and keep you.

I am so sad to hear about Sharon. She and I became friends on the first day of classes when were in the same homeroom at Boude Storey, 8th grade.

Prayers for her family.

It is with great sadness, that I inform y’all that Sharon Reeves passed away Friday, January 23rd at 6:00 pm. Her niece and family were with her when she took her last breath. Sharon had been struggling with COPD and congestive heart failure for a few years. I am very sad for this loss of another dear friend. Pat Vessels and I visited her twice in the early fall. I treasure those times.

On January 14, 2026, J. Terry Strange, husband of our dear friend and classmate Charlotte Anders Strange, passed away unexpectedly in Houston. Charlotte and Terry were married more than sixty years. Everyone who knew Terry loved and respected him, and his loss will be felt by many. A memorial will take place at a later time.

For Bill Akins:  I've been successfully managing the same heart problem/issue for years so it is a "kick ass" effort for sure.  I have four stents, a TAVR (Aortic Valve Replacement), A-FIB 75% of the time and Aortic Stenosis.  Guess I am the new version of biotic.  It is a pain, both literally and figuratively but I'm still on the pretty side of the grass.  

Remember the end of the SOC Fight Song was Fight, Fight, Fight and that's what we do.  Good luck sir and prayers for you from South Carolina (just moved here from Upstate Snowy NY).

Bill, I haven’t checked in on the site as I should. I’m praying for you as you continue. Your lifestyle change. You’ve got this!🙏🏻
Barry, I am shocked. And, I will do my best to contact both. There is no respect or good manners anymore among young people or, people in general. Even if parents don’t, teachers should guide them as they should. However, I’m not sure the teachers even have manners or the respect needed to teach. This is so depressing.

Happy New year!
I'm going to gripe a little.  I watched some of the high school playoffs and noticed that the Golden Bears had "Mecca" on their helmets.  I contacted the UIL and Dallas ISD about this and how it is sending the wrong message to the students.  Surprisingly I got prompt replies from both and said they would look into it.  It might help if others complained about this, so I am challenging you to contact both the UIL and the Dallas ISD.
After the SOC - Willis game, fights broke out and police from Dallas, Fair Park and DPS had to break up the fights.  The teams also did not walk across the field and shake hands after the game.  Very disappointing.

I'm still around and post every now and then.

A special thanks to all who reached out to me and/or Donna during my recent hospital stay. I have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure and spent four days in the ER/hospital. This will require a review and some significant changes in my lifestyle. It can't be cured, only managed. I will be looking to kick its ass!
