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. ![[rolleyes]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/rolleyes.gif "Roll Eyes - :rolleyes:") ![[smile]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)")
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! Hello SOC Friends, My friend, Sally Walden, and I have a crochet shop for baby blankets with matching hats on ETSY. (LadybugCrochetCo) Sally is the business manager and I crochet everything on the website. I accept special orders and color changes for any sets in stock. If you need a gift for a baby shower, or if you have a baby or grandbaby, please see our website. Thanks! Jana Milham (Mrs. Milo) 💕
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.
Comments: Sharon,I am so sorry to learn about your mother. It is painful to know that you didn’t get to see her At all. I will email you. ❤️
Comments: Sharon, I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. 101 years, wow! You have some very good genes. How sad there can be no service at this time. May your dear mom rest in eternal peace.
Everyone please stay in and stay safe.
Comments: I am in darn good health, 6'3", 190, slim, trim and svelte my wife says. However, when the inevitable happens to me, and it will, my young wife is aware of this site so she can notify folks. Facebook is fun. Find me at Michael G. Peters in Scotia NY if you desire.
Comments: First time on our '63 Site in several years. Saddened by those that have departed. Most don't remember me as I departed SOC in January '63 to Hurst but I'll always be a SOCite regardless of where I physically lived in May 63.
Comments: Forgot to add that when I left Laurel Land yesterday, decided to drive down Marsalis and see SOC. First, passed Five Mile Creek and it looked like a desert, no water and weeds 5 feet tall. Don't know the problem there. Then to SOC, it really is something to see. But my first reaction was, who in the hell thought it a good idea to put up this super-ultra modern building in this urban blight. The neighborhood is atrocious. Driving done memory lane was sad.
Comments: Hi. I haven't posted here recently and am so sad to see that we've lost two more classmates. My 101-year-old mother passed away on Monday, April 27. I was unable to see her for last 6 weeks because of the nursing home lockdown. The nursing home did not have any virus patients and she died in her sleep. Sweet, precious woman. We are not having any services at this time due to the conditions and restrictions, and it makes me sad. But, all my family and extended family are huggers and kissers, so just would not do to have a service. I have returned to work on a very limited basis. I am working a couple of days a week for a half a day, just to keep up with the bills, etc. I work in a 9-story building and there are no other people on my floor at this time. I counted 30 cars in the parking lot and garage. Stay safe.
Comments: My heart aches as I add Mary Jean Countryman Stevens to the list of our classmates who have passed. https://www.allanfullerfuneralhome.com/obituary/mary-stevens
Comments: Phillis, Sharlene did not have COVID-19, but she had dealt with health issues for years. She lived in Northern California, and is survived by her loving husband, and her older brother and sister, plus a devoted niece and many other loyal friends and loved ones. You’re right that the current mess is preventing a large gathering to mourn her.
Comments: Phyllis, This is a difficult time for the family. They are spread out all over the U S. There is nothing to report now.
Comments: I looked online for an obituary for Sharlene Ruth Houghtaling Alexander, but could not find one. Then it occurred to me that perhaps the COVID-19 crisis was preventing or delaying her funeral. How sad that so many are dying alone and cannot even be properly mourned.
Comments: It is with great sorrow that I have to tell you that Sharlene Houghtaling Alexander past away earlier today. Sharlene has been struggling with several medical issues for a number of years. For those of you in the SOC class of 1963 will remember her as being named Most Beautiful. She was just as beautiful on the inside. Heaven has gained a true angel today.
Comments: Good question Pat. I wonder also. My nieces‘ husband takes it. We’re spending our quarantine at our small ranch outside of Houston. Here we can get outside and have chores to do to keep us busy. Plus we see the beautiful Texas wild flowers.
Comments: Hey Peaches - have you taken hydroxychloroquine for your arthritis? Just thought about your experiences with it. |
