Comments: I loved Ouida, too. She was such a sweet and nice kid always. It breaks my heart to see how many of us leave the arena every year. I wish more would chime in on our website. Could be SOC63.com isn't intended to be.
Comments: Lynell, I was reading that just the other day. As I went down the list, I was so saddened by all our classmate gone from us. Some very early on too. Some of them I've known since grade school and some I grew up with in Cliff Temple Baptist Church. I am so glad that I went to the 55th SOC reunion. I visited with my precious, almost lifetime, friend Ouida Ruth Hoyle Rose. She was so pretty, without a gray hair in her head. And, then she was gone.
Comments: With sadness I added Gary Strzinek to our memoriam page.
Comments: Hey, what’s everybody up to this summer? I hope y’all are staying cool, and that you didn’t blow away in that storm that hit Dallas a few weeks back. The wind shifted our fence and the wall it’s attached to. This will be a big project to fix. Some days renting sounds like a great idea!
Comments: Just a hiccup huh? Hmmmm.
Comments: Hi all, I haven't checked in in a long while. Im reading to catch up. lynell and Sharon R let me know about Gary. He was such a fun, crazy guy in high school. Harriet's right. It is so sad to be losing oir classmates. All is well here at my house. However, my husband had back surgery 2 weeks ago and I have been his Nurse Ratchet. Thankfully, 2 years ago we put an elevator in our townhouse. That has been a big help. He can now drive and that makes him happy. It was 94* here in Houston today. How fast the season change from spring to summer ...ugh.

Comments: Well happy summer everyone.Im already getting tired of mowing. Looks like I can sit on the porch here in Paris and see it growing.Thank the lord for riding mowers and tractors. I just spoke to my son in Florida .He purchased a house in the panhandle near the beach. He wants Nancy and me to come down and help him pick out paint colors. Really Nancy. Looks like we will have to drive down for a week in the sand and sun in a few weeks. Darn it. I was so looking forward to mowing my yard every week this summer. . Hope you are all doing well!
Comments: Hope everyone is okay after the storm. My neighborhood in south Garland just had a lot of twigs and leaves everywhere, but no major damage. On my drive to work, which took an hour and 40 minutes due to the signal lights not working, the damage in the Lake Highlands area was devastating. Stay safe.
Comments: Yes, Phillis, that Vale Conga dude has taken a liking to us. I delete and ban him every time. Thanks for the heads up. Guess they want some cash from all us rich folks. Ha.
Comments: Happy Mother's Day, too. Is that Vale Conga message some type of spam?
Comments: Happy Mother's Day.
Comments: Steve, Doug, et al, it’s great to see you young ‘uns drop by and visit! I did not realize Deb was Jeff Bryant’s sister. I thought her claim to fame was to marry a SOC guy! 😜 Best of luck to you with your books. Gotta keep the juices moving.
Comments: A 64 grad just dropping by to say hello and say I enjoy visiting your website from time to time. I know none of you but feel like I do reading your contributions. Seeing where some of you are painting I commend you for staying busy. My wife (Deb, sister of the late Jeff Bryant, SOC 62) is of the class of Waxahachie 1970. She and I find it helps greatly in these senior years to stay busy as though we are working(?) and also taking daily walks. She has a craft room and I do my writing. Currently I am writing 3 books and reading at least 5 including the Bible for the 14th time. Since our grandchildren all live so far away, as of course do our children, we are "church people" and stay socially active there and in our senior center in Benbrook. If you have to be a good writer to write I would have quit many years ago but I just keep writing as though someone will read it someday. Hope each of you who are reading this are well and enjoying your senior years as well. Thanks for letting me visit.
Comments: Forgot to mention that I will be singing
Comments: recently there was discussion about the poor state of modern music. Well, we all know oldies are the best. And low and behold now comes a chance to hear some oldies, ca. 1791, with a live orchestra and chorus!! That would be this coming Sunday, May 5, at 4pm. at First UMC Church located at 313 Center St. in scenic downtown Arlington, TX. The concert is free and open to the public. This is your chance to hear a live performance, with orchestra, of Mozart's Requiem. Be there or be square.
Comments: Dan S. I wish I had the patience for oil.
Comments: Thanks you. May never talk with Tim again but it is nice to know he is doing well. Have passed this on to a couple of people who were concerned. Thanks again.
Comments: I heard from Tim Wright last night. He sounds great! He said to tell y'all he and Lisa are doing great. His problem was just a hiccup in his life that only lasted 14 months. He still has the same positive outlook on life. He went right back to living his life in Georgetown. It was absolutely great to hear from him. I did hear from his after he came back in November 2016; however, his numbers changed.
Comments: Thanks. If you find out something please let me know.
Comments: I tried calling him before our 55th reunion. The numbers I had plus for his son are no longer working. I just sent an email to see if I get a response back.
Comments: I hope this question does not muddy the water. Was talking with Ron Bays and he ask if I ever heard anymore new about Tim Wright. We know what happened but does anyone know his current status.
Comments: Thanks. I was hoping my memory hadn't gotten that bad.
Comments: My Brother, SOC 59, went to Lisbon first thru seventh and SOC eight thru 12. SOC was still new and not near full.
Comments: Back then 9th grade was still in Junior High School. We started SOC in 10th Grade. I actually think that was better, 9th graders are still on the immature side.
Comments: Question? When we were at SOC, it didn't have a 9th grade, did it? I seem to recall starting there in the 10th grade.
Comments: Ron, I’m sorry about your classmate. Dan, I’d like to be an oil painter but my breathing can’t take it. Google "South Oak Cliff At Last!“ Maybe you’ll slap your head. Maybe not. I hope children are helped.
Comments: Lynell, I am an oil painter. My wife Nancy paints like you, but she is the real artist.Pottery,jewelry and oil painting. I can barely hold a paint brush. I started when Bill Alexander was on PBS. Stopped painting for years and picked it back up 10 or 12 years ago. Now that Im in Paris,Tx I have an art studio attached to my house and paint almost daily on something. i would rate my work along Yosimity Sam.Keep painting Lynell it is so relaxing! Dan |
