Comments: Happy Birthday, Peaches!
Comments: Happy Birthday to our Peaches. I hope your day is the best! And, thanks for always working to keep the Class of '63 together. Love & hugs!! We'll celebrate when this Coronavirus is safe to visit each other.
Comments: Larry was Danny Green’s minister.
Comments: I have been reading Larry's letters to the editor for years. I lean right ( not as far as the Tea Party), but certainly to the conservative side. Larry's letters were definitely more to the liberal side and he left no doubt that he didn't like President Trump. While I didn't agree with a lot of what he wrote, his letters were well written and not hateful or nasty. If the report is true then I guess the church folks didn't approve.
Comments: Larry Pool wrote some Letters to the Editor at the Dallas Morning News that were critical of the President. The ones I saw he signed as Cecil Larry Pool and did not identify himself as affiliated with the Church.
Comments: I heard from John Southworth yesterday and he asked if I had heard about Larry Pool. Larry had been pastor at Calvary Baptist Church for 19 years and was dismissed for sending letters to the editor of the Dallas Morning News. Don’t know any details
Comments: Ken: She never mentioned that. I’ll ask her next time I see her.
Comments: Katie Knight was a cute, sweet girl. Betcha no guys messed with her. Not any boy in his right mind anyway.
Comments: Mr Gibbs, I hate to be a contrarian but I have to question the sincerity of your "decided to try ROTC" story. The smoking gun, so to speak, is located on page 233 of The Den 1961. The entire page is devoted to the Rifle Club...all young women including one Miss Katie Maureen Knight. I feel sure this was your true motivation for thinking ROTC/rifle range. My only regret is that I was oblivious to this fine organization. As far as missed time goofing off with Ken, that activity was way overrated. I'm sure your Arizona cousin would agree with that fact.
Comments: Ken, it’s funny you should mention that. My best friend in grade school and junior high was Don Chapman. We rode motor scooters together, hunted and fished together, played football together and just generally hung out together. We only lived a block apart. We went to two a days at SOC before our Sophomore year. After the first workout, Don was really worried. “I’m gonna die”. Don only weighed 130# and the first guy to hit him was Malcolm Walker. Well, two of Don’s other friends were juniors and were in ROTC. One of them was on the rifle team. The thought of spending time on the range sounded a lot more appealing than study hall. Besides, Larry Pool was not playing football and he was the only guy at Zumwalt that was slower than I was. So, I decided to try ROTC and Don immediately moved to Houston. I have always regretted that decision and realize that I missed out on the goofing off with Ken.
Comments: If you still don’t know!
Comments: Ken, i know you can read Chinese. I agree about Lynell and Barry. why didn’t they clue us in back then? I remain clueless to this day!!!!
Comments: Yikes! I have deleted those links to closed class websites. Bosko’s onto something. Those rascally Sunset or Kimball kids must have done it. Y’all stay safe. Thanks for the heads up.
Comments: Hmmm....porn? I'm not familiar with that word. What does it mean? Maybe some of the smarter people, the ones like Leftnell and Barry who didn't realize that high school was for sports, dating, and goofing off, and who actually studied and made good grades, maybe they can enlighten the rest of us as to the definition of that word. If it's bad, then I assume it must refer to someone who went to Sunset...or Adamson...or Kimball. Ugh, I should have paid more attention in class.
Comments: Oh, I forgot to say that the link to the Class of 65, in Chinese, is also a porn site.
Comments: Just like Dancing, we had planned several trips this year. We visited my cousin, Suzanne Darnell Moore, in Sedona last year and wanted to go back this year, but getting older and then the COVID-19 and we’ll see about next year. First the knee replacement, then two mini strokes, then hernia surgery, then a Pacemaker and now another hernia. I was scheduled to have the hernia repaired two weeks ago. Went to pre-op on Weds and then went for the surgery on Fri. The surgeon was scrubbing in when the anestgeologist decided that he wouldn’t put me to sleep until the heart problem is sorted. Going for a sleep study on Fri. And to make it worse, we have only been fishing once during all this! Maybe some prayers would help.
Comments: I don't remember any Chinese students in the Class of '65, but the link to their website does. I did take 2 courses of Chinese but I can't read it - maybe it's the fight song?
Comments: Hi everyone,greetings from the far north country.Paris,Tx. WILL THIS EVER END?? THIS WAS GOING TO BE A YEAR OF TRAVEL FOR ME. I'VE BEN ON HOLD FOR TO LONG NOW. I'VE PAINTED AND JUST WATCHED THE GRASS GROW FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS.I feel like a prisoner ready to break out. Even my dog is tired of seeing me around the house all day. I'M GLAD MOST OF US ARE COPING WITH ALL THAT IS GOING ON. I'M LIKING FORWARD TO GETTING OUT IN THE WORLD AGAIN. BE SAFE BE HAPPY!
Comments: Bill, it’s so nice to see you here! My husband and I still live in our beloved Dallas. We have happily been incarcerated for months except emergency runs for provision. Glad y‘all are safe and healthy. Our generation has seen some times, haven’t we?
Comments: Love your question, is this a painting or a guest page. Think I got that right. Seldom, once, commented on this site but check it every other week or so to see how folks are doing. We have lost a lot of classmates over the years, many way before their time but them we don't get to pick our time in most case. Wife and I sort of kinda maybe followed the rules during shut down. When you live in a town of 98 people it is not hard to social distance. We made it, so far, and hope everyone came through this with no lasting damage.
Comments: I’m guilty. I haven’t been looking in. I’m at our ranch staying away from Houston. We have to go in tomorrow for doc appointments, but will be back out here ASAP. I hope all who check in Here are healthy and happy. ![]()
Comments: Is this a guestbook or a painting?
Comments: Hey, SOCites, is everyone doing all right during this scary era? What are you doing to protect yourself from COVID-19? Don’t be a lurker, please. Let your classmates know what you are up to in hopes of logging another decade or two.
Comments: Jana Milham asked me to post this message for her. Trust me, she is a great crocheter!

Comments: Ken, it’s good to see you here. I’ve thought of you and your family often and hope you are faring okay. Boy, we go back a way.
Comments: Sharon, Sorry to hear about your mom and the sad events surrounding her passing. From your past comments, I know she must have been a very special lady. Praying for you and your family. I know what you mean about the old neighborhood. Through the years I've continued to drive around that area and the decline has been very sad to watch. Funny though, the good memories of those times and places remain clear in my mind. In fact, Beverly used to marvel at how I could remember things from SOC but couldn't remember what happened when I was 30,40, or 50. I kinda felt bad about that until Ralph Fincher told me he suffered from the same phenomenon. As a joke, I would take pictures of familiar landmarks from the old days: schools, theaters, hangouts, Glendale Shopping Center, Fernwood Baptist Church, etc. I would then text them to Bev with no caption...just the picture. Her response was always the same, "You are going to die". Times have certainly changed.
Comments: Sharon, i feel the same way you so about our SOC.
Comments: Michael, welcome. Good to know you are doing well. |
