I was just surfing the web and found that
I seem to be lost.
After graduation in 1964 the U.S. Air Force

After graduating I went to work for the State
of Texas and in January 2007 retired from the Office of
the Texas Attorney General, Child Support Division after
33 years; 17 years Field Office work. and 16 years Information

For those of you who have a memory of teachers
that is beyond a blur, perhaps you'll remember 'the other
Bill Allen' who taught math classes at Paschal.. He passed
away at age 86 on December 27, 2006. What you probably did
not know was that he was a Marine during WW II and was a
Japanese POW from 1941 until 1945! After he retired from
teaching he had a second career with the Tarrant County
Sheriff's Department as a baliff.

The CD containing pictures of the reunion
is still available. There are several hundred photos from
all the reunion events. You can use these to pick and choose
the ones you'd like to have as prints or, if you are particularly
clever, you could make a slide show, screen saver or whatever.
In addition to the many snapshots sent in, there is a retouched
class picture in a format that can be enlarged as much as
you like.
If you'd like a copy, send ten bucks
to:
Clif Barnhart
53 Mulligan Drive
Crested Butte, CO 81224
Proceeds will be used for the Class of '64.
