So sorry to hear about Jim Norwood.  His father was my bus driver for 4 years.

I remember when he had the route all the way to Aldine. Back then I thought we

were brats but it's nothing compared to now days.

Things were much different when we were at MacArthur than now, .... A computer  to us was something that was on the Mercury Space Capsules and we didnt know what it really did, ... The gasoline for the automobiles was blue in color and 19 cents a gallon, ... Jack in the Box had one kind of hamburger, .... Some places had specials on Fridays, 5 Hamburgers for a dollar, ...  Our cars had a lot of chrome and we would polish them up to shine in the neon lights on Saturday night, ...  Harleys and Corvettes were few in number and rarely seen,... Aldine Mail Route was a country road with nothing much but fields and pastures, ... Our teachers wore neckties and dresses and we respected them,  Mr Ennis had a reputation for giving hard swats, ... and one more thing; the winters were COLD!

John,

 

You are absolutely right on every point.  I know as a student we were expected to dress respectfully and i was sent home for wearing a dress too short....the letter jacket raised my dress in the back...and it did not help I was standing on stage....I was so humiliated....today....how much can I show is the rule of thumb...

 

I enjoy going back in the day...but keep my head in the now, as this old world looks for those who are gullible by expectations that truly do not exist in the bigger world...we are seriously too multi-cultured and our America will never be the same again.

Charles (Chuck) Goodwin (1969)

Hello Every one:

I have been missing in action from Texas for the last 13 years, I have been living in Washington State. We were there to take care of my wife's father. I had to move back 11/2 years ago so I could take care of everything finance wise.

I missed the 300 days of sun viruses 300 days of clouds and rain. The northwest is very eclectic and it is a complete culture shock when you come from the south. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and I will be praying that we won't be missing any one else before then. I hope this finds everyone in good health since we are all approaching senior citizen status.

God bless and see you soon.

Charles Goodwin (Chuck)

I am getting the 2013 Reunion Video's wrapped up. If you have not signed up to attend the Reunion on September 28th, you will really miss a great time. Get signed up now/today so your school picture and name will not be left out of the Video's and Memory Book. I still don't see Sandy, Presley, or Bud's name on the attendee's list. Come on guys, you know what fun it was to see some of our classmates the first time in many years. It was really a good feeling. If you don't know how to sign up, email or call me, Peggy or Linda and we will walk you through it. A little over 3 weeks till the Reunion. Please don't put it off. Sign up today. Eddie

Had a good time last nite (2013 reunion).  Memories, friends, Long time no see. Never would have recognized some.  Maybe the trip  thing will get going and we can get together at times....Lots of fall festivals in small towns comming up. Appreciate all the people that worked and made the reunion possible. Wish I had the resources and wits to find some of my classmates that I havent heard from in years.

Peggy Sue Hammers (Moran) (1969)

Thanks so all to our classmates who attended the 2013 Mulit-Class Reunion !  The MCR Committee worked very hard to make the room, and evening special for all attendees. 

I personally wish to thank my former students, Sam Herrera for the  loan of the awesome MacArthur banner, and Denette Clark Craig, for her officiating the door, and dinner tickets, Debbie Clark (1971) Busy Bees commanding the reception desk with their usual perfessionalism, Jackie Harris Shedd's daughters, Deborah Shedd monitoring the REDGO sheet sells,and Stacy Shedd Rahimi our awesome photographer.

The generosity of our classmates, (trying to find everyone's name), for thier donations to the Silent Auction, Glenna Dawson's, $20.00 contribution, Gloria Rodriquez Moustakis's, donation of $25.00 gift certificate, Cathy Allen's, donation of two huge bottles of nice wine, Steven Guinn's donation of helium, and the time, energy and devotion of the committee members to make it the best party !

2015 We will be moving the reunion to a different venue,and providing monthly gathering opportunities, as this was a wish and request of classmates.

With Deepest Appreciation,

PeggySue Hammers-Moran

What a wonderful sight and what a beautiful surprise when reading messages from fellas that lived in Freeway Forest so long ago, hahahaha...... I have often wondered what happened to that guy who lived in the back of the hood.  His parents were wonderful and I believe he had a younger brother and sister.  This is such a wonderful sight in assisting the past to come forward.  Hope you all enjoy it as I do.

As they say -- better late than never.  

I had a great time at the reunion.    I wish I had got up and mingled more.   While looking out over the banquet room there were few faces I recognized but I'm sure if I had got up and talked with others the little light over my head would  have lit up.    I will surely take the opportunity next time to chat more and I can't wait.

This is Terry Parker (1972):  Is there anyone from my class going to the reunion.  I know on the web it says for '67-'71 but I have heard that there maybe friends from my class as well that will be attending.  I will be there with  my wife and sister Peggy who graduated a few years earlier.  Just checking if anyone from '72 is coming I sure would like to know.  Thanks

To all 1972 Classmates, I'm hoping to see a good representation of our class at this important 2 evening event. I know the web site link says 67-71, but our class has been officially added. We wanted to be included and now we are, so lets not waste this opportunity. The planning commitee has worked tirelessly to produce a 1st class party for all to enjoy. At our age more and more of us are passing away on a more frequent basis, so this may be the last opportunity for some of us to reconnect with friends from our youth. Don't create another life regret by missing this opportunity. I sincerely, hope to see many of my friends next week, most of whom I haven't seen in years. Lets share old memories and make new memories..
