Great news, Barry Grubbs!!
Funny that you would mention Fruitdale. The Dallas Morning News had an interesting insert entitled Curious TX which detailed some interesting facts about the history of Dallas. Seems as if Fruitdale was built on land owned by J.K. Sloan and G.L. Haas. I'm checking old records now to see if you owe me some overdue tax money. I'll let you know.

Barry, this is fantastic news!!! The power of prayer is unbelievable. Your positive attitude has a lot to do with it also. I have had close friends who have had cancer and until you go through it a person can not imagine.

My prayers continue for your continued healing. May you have His peace that surpasses all understanding!

Thanks for keeping us informed!

I really you guys. You lived close to so many of your SOC friends out inFruitdale, most of the residents were older and had no kids. All the lots were at least an acre.  DonChapman was my closest friend and he moved to Houston after our Sophmore year. Others in the area were at least a year older-Bill Derow (disappeared when some pregnant girl’s family threatened to kill him), Larry Fullenwider (always had a machete in his boot at school), Robert Bender (don’t know if he even went to school).  No close neighbors like you had.

The power of prayer is unbelievable. I saw my doctor yesterday and the lymphoma on my lung is completely gone. I had a pet scan on Wednesday and the only thing left is a small spot on my kidney.  Dr thinks that the two remaining doses of chemo will take care of that. I am so blessed to have friends like you and all others that have been praying for me.

Chere Houck St. Claire's husband Mickey St. Claire (SOC class of 1962) passed on February 20, 2021. They celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary in December 2020.

I called her and we talked for a while. She has a very strong faith and daughter and son and grandchildren and lots of friends that will be by her side for support.


His services will be tomorrow.

Bosko: Glad you saw Alicia. She‘s cute, but she has a mean streak. 😜. Actually, she helped me a lot. How lucky are we to have this team to hold our hands as we ripen?

Hey Leftnell, I went to see you-know-who last Friday. All good so far, but now he's starting to add my left hand to the conversation. By the way, tell David I also visited a cute, blonde physical therapist that day. [love]

Hang in there Mr Gibbs[thumb]

Still hanging in there. 4 down and two to go. Before my next chemo, I will get a pet scan and we will know if the tumor is reduced or gone. Gone would be my choice!  As a guy that has always taken care of everything around the house, it is hard to admit thatI need help. So, keep me in your prayers and We will beat this.

John Elliot is alive and doing well..  Alas, Pat Newman has passed.  Pat was a really great guy.

Ken, I've lost track of most of the folks who lived around me back in the day. I do know that Mike Johnson (SOC '62) died a year or so ago. Don't know about John Elliott, Pat (Dubby) Newman ('61), Bobby Newman ('65), Charlie Montgomery ('62). Bob Baker and Mike O'Rear are still with us.

BTW, Mike Johnson was a Dallas Fireman also.

During my SOC years, Jack Cowley, Tommy Daniel, and I engaged in marathon Wiffle ball games in my backyard and my neighbor's yard. Three doors down the alley and adjacent to our "ball field" was the home of Dennis Stephens. Dick Fant, who went to Adamson, lived across the street. I knew him from summer baseball and the fact that both of our dads were firemen. Right around the corner from Dick's house was where Donna Muir lived. Dennis is struggling and the other four are gone. I have great memories of those days, but also great sadness. Somedays, happy wins. Somedays, sad wins.

Oh, Kenneth, Kenneth, Kenneth. Your youth was such a hoot. How did you ever survive?

Hope your hand has not fallen off. I wouldn’t want to lose standing with you-know-who. Or is it whom?

Sharon, I’m sorry about your trouble. This was a once in a lifetime event. Our icemaker croaked 20 years back, so David cut off the attic water supply  We have plastic trays. Thank God David can maneuver them. Amazingly they feed through the ice dispenser door. people are impressed by our square cubes. 

Happy to hear you are well.

Very sad reading about Dennis and Tommy. However, I remember a happier time..sorta...with both guys. We were driving down Lancaster road, took a right on Ledbetter, and headed in the direction of Glendale Park. Dennis was driving, I was riding shotgun, and Tommy was in the back seat. As we we drove along we saw some girls walking on the sidewalk..Tommy and I hollered at the young ladies, then turned around to see if they were responding. Unfortunately, Dennis also turned around to look .....and that's when we rear ended the car in front of us. We all had a good laugh about it later....Tommy and I more so than Dennis. Good times.

Went without running water from last Wednesday until late Sunday afternoon.  Had running water all during the deep freeze but my ice maker line burst last Wednesday morning.  I should consider myself lucky since the noise sounded as if it were in the wall behind my shower.  Of course, my wood floors in the kitchen are now buckled and will have to be replaced.  However, not gonna worry about it.  Really hate to hear of our classmates, so sad.

received message from Pamela Kaumeyer..........

The family of Dennis Stephens needs our prayers. It is a hard time for his family as his dementia has progressed to the point he has been placed in assisted living. Pamela knows prayers work and pray that prayers will lead to peace at this difficult time........

I am just getting sadder and sadder to hear of so many of our classmates.

I hate to hear that about Tommy. I've known him longer than anyone else I went to school with. His parents and mine moved into an "apartment " complex about the same time when were were about 3 years old. Our folks called the place "The Projects". 

Tommy and I were outside playing one day and he hit me in the head with a metal trash can lid. I still have a scar from then encounter.

Prayers said for him and his family.

I just received a text from Barbara Florence Herrington....

Some sad news. Tommy Daniel is very ill and on hospice. He has fibrosis of the lungs complicated by heart disease. Kay (ex wife mother of his 2 daughters) said he was declining fast. 

Please pray for him and his family during this very difficult time.

Mike Peters, so nice to hear from you! You can be our official cold weather consultant if you want the job. So many who lived in NYC have moved to Florida. I know you’re not in the Big Apple though. We were plenty miserable in Dalias at 2°. Be glad you missed that!

Hope everyone is safe and that power has been restored.  ERCOT is poorly managed and was not prepared for the Winter Hit.  They are prepared for the Summer power requirements but they apparently have no clue for managing the sudden Winter requirements.  Their CEO is a lawyer with very little experience managing a power grid.  The demand overwhelmed their suppliers or they way they manage their suppliers.  Good Luck Everyone. At least warmer weather is on the way.   In NY we stay very cold until March.  Only one day above freezing since December
