Jim Gick

Our family moved back to California shortly after high school.

I was drafted into the Army in 1968 and sent to Germany for a couple of years.

After the service my Dad and I started and ran a successful publishing and crafts company for about 25 years. It was sold in 1992 and I'm now 5 years into  a pet toy company. Business is great and I get to work with my sons and wife. I love the challenge of business and suppose I'll never really retire.

My wife and I have been happily married for 3 years. I have 2 boys and 2 girls that range in age from 26 - 40. I'm a grandpa twice over.

My teacher memories from Paschal were Mr Cody ( I majored in shop ) and Mrs Gebhardt. Had her every year for English. She was a sweetheart for sure. I always deserved an "F" but could turn it into a "D" by taking flowers to her house before grades were passed out. Go figure, I became a publisher.

It was wonderful to read about everyone on the site. Brought back a lot of nice memories. Sad to discover how many had already passed away. Ah! Those were some great times in our lives!

You might have noticed from my photo that I don't have any grey hair! LOL

Life is good!

Jim Sanders

 

Just found the PHS 64 web site and I would like to contribute my Alumni Roster info.

After graduation in 64 I entered Arlington State and attended on and off until 67 when I joined the USAF.

I was in the AF less than a year when I received overseas orders to Germany.

I had the good fortune to have lived, worked and played the next 4 years in Europe ( avoided Vite Nam but missed Woodstock ).

I travel Europe extensively and experienced things a kid from the south side of Ft. Worth could never have dreamed.

I returned to The University of Texas Arlington in 71 and received my degree in Political Science in 74.

That summer I started my carer in the Foodservice Industry as a Regional Sales Mgr. and spent the next 34 years traveling the

Southwest US as a sales rep for various food manufactures.

I have married, divorced, and remarried neither of which were Ft Worth ladies, but Texans for sure.

Deb and have been married since 81. We have two children, Lance 30 (Deb's son whom I adopted) and our baby girl, Larin 22.

Larin (with me, below) just graduated from Texas Tech and is now attending UTA working on her Masters in tax accounting and Lance is being Lance.

Now for the best part I retired last year from The Imperial Sugar Co. Deb and I are adjusting to my being off the road and home 24/7.

We have been married 28 years, but I have been home only15.

My passion is bass fishing at Lake Fork where I share a camp with my brother John (class of 66).

I attended the 20 and 30 year reunion, but missed the 40th.  Hope to be able to do the 45.

I would like to offer a brief update and greetings to friends from Princeton.

This is my fourth year as dean of the graduate school and my 32nd year as a member of the faculty at Princeton U. My wife, Priscilla, has taught Spanish in the Princeton regional schools since the mid-1980's and became supervisor of world languages two years ago.

Our two sons graduated from Princeton several years back - Bailey in 2001 and Daniel in 1999. Bailey spent a year with Princeton in Asia teaching English in Penang, Malaysia, before completing a MA in photography at NYU. He now assists Vera Lutter, who specializes in camera obscura, and just returned from a project in Venice, Italy, photographing the alta aqua. Daniel is completing his PhD in computer science at Stanford this spring and will begin a postdoc, probably in Antibes, France.

We currently reside in Wyman House, built adjacent to Princeton's graduate college in 1913 as the residence of the dean.

 

Vicki Popov (Knezek)

Well it's nice to know I've been "found". I have yet to receive any information through snail mail or email from Paschal so I'm not sure what it means. It was interesting for me to note than in the list of panthers being "searched" for that most of the people I hung out with were not listed. That included the valedictorian of our class Carolyn Terrell.

Does anyone have a year book? Carol Willits was listed. The last time I saw her was 1977 when I was down for a family visit with my 5 month old first born. She married Michael Absher in I think '68. I was in the wedding. They were still married in ' 77. That might help you find her though I don't think she still lives in Fort Worth. Some of my notables that were not listed: Jane Jenkins who married Scott Kee in ' 68,both ' 64 graduates, and Stormi Miles . Stormi married David Thomas in ' 68 as well. I was also in that wedding, as were my husband of 2 years and my three and a half year old sister. Because of my relationship with Jane I also knew Marialyce Morris.

I found out about the 40th reunion from Roy Martin, a ' 65 Paschal graduate, at my husbands 40th reunion, celebrated in Las Vegas, it seems to the chagrin of a few of his classmates from the Catholic high school in Oklahoma City where Steve graduated. Roy is married to one of my husband's classmates. It really is a small world.

A brief bio: Attended TCU part time after graduation. Attended NTSU next, marrying Stephen Edward Knezek in ' 66. Finally graduated from NTSU in January ' 69 with a B.S. in Education at 2:00 in the afternoon. At midnight we left for the east coast searching for adventure. Fell in love with Connecticut and felt like we were finally home. Taught school for 3 years postponing the adventures we had planned in Europe. Having made tenure in teaching I decide to quit, planning once again for adventure. Ended up postponing again to help Steve finish his first bachelors degree, also in education and because we became involved in the Catholic charismatic renewal in 1974. That lasted about 10 years during which time Steve worked in a hospital in psychiatry, got his second bachelors in nursing and we had two boys, one born in' 77 another in ' 80 and a daughter in ' 81.

I had spotty employment ,tutoring in the public schools, working in the afterschool program, less than a year in a for profit daycare a 4 year stint at one of the Yale libraries, and etc. Mostly I wanted to be making and selling crafts and gifts and being a mom, my favorite career until now. In ' 96 Steve received a masters in social work from Columbia and our children started the process of leaving home. Paul followed Tom all through school from Catholic school, to Hopkins Grammar school (a 300 year old prep school) to Syracuse University. Our daughter Margaret is very talented and creative and hated school so after 7th grade we gave her the choice to be home educated. It was a great experience for us. She moved to Seattle, Washington when she was 18 after having just spent 2 monthes traveling on her own in France. She was in Italy when 9/11 happened having just spent a month in Palestine doing political activities on behalf of the Palestinians. She is well rounded and has a lot of political savvy. She's working toward being a photo journalist and video documentarian. Our oldest, Tom is living in Las Vegas with his girlfriend Kim and doing his own thing.

We are late bloomers so that is what I expect our children will be. We will be seeing the two of them in July when we go to San Antonio and Granbury TX to visit grandmothers. Our younger son, Paul is currently living in Boston working on a graduate degee in political science. He would like to work eventually as an analyst in the intelligence community Almost two years ago I finally moved into my own art studio and have been working on developing my creativity and a career in art. It is thrilling and painful and what life is all about. Steve is currently in private practice as a psychotherapist, he likes the word sham-an--Carl Jung can explain that one to you.

After TX we will spend 3 weeks in Maui. When we get home at the end of August we will have to hit the ground running. I just love it. My maiden name is Popov, my married name is Knezek and my professional artist name is Branch. That last one came about 15 years ago when I told our children that none of them could be president with such an ethnic last name as Knezek. We needed a new one. Tom came up with Branch which appealed to me, then I realized the first Bush was president. What the heck! It was simple and some how connected me to some of my roots so I kept it. None of my children have followed suit.

All hate mail and kindred spirits can e me at mamapearl(at)bust.com. If anyone knows the whereabouts of Carolyn Terrell I would love to make contact with her. As far as I know she went to Erie College in Pennsylvania after graduation and never looked back.

Larry Mehl

Boston, MA

A big Howdy from Boston, home of the World Champion Patriots and Red Sox! After graduating college and Law School, I relocated to Washington, DC and was with the SEC for 3 years. Thereafter I was with a few NYSE listed companies, finally ending up in Boston where I had the opportunity of a lifetime, living in London, NY City and here while raising a family. After retiring (for the first time at the end of 1992), I concentrated on golf full time and won the match play championship at my club. Having a wife who encouraged me to go back to work and get out of the house, I co-founded a seafood company which we built up and after a few years, we found someone who wanted it more than us. So, retirement again for a couple of years, and more golf! After having some serious health issues, I got a second chance at life and once again, my wife strongly encouraged me to go back to work. So, I am back to practicing law with a couple of friends, while my wife is managing a jewelry store. Our oldest son is married and in the marketing and entertainment business in Chicago, our daughter is married to a lawyer living in Dallas with their daughter, and our youngest son is a Junior at The Wharton School at U Penn. I have not been back to Texas in many years, but if I am notified in advance about the next reunion, we will attend. I have not been referred to as Boomer since College, and I really miss Tex/Mex food, barbecue and Texas winters. Best regards to all. Larry Mehl (email l.mehl(at)comcast.net)

I found myself on the lost list and wanted to let you know that I'm here in Charlotte and have enjoyed all the postings to the website so much. I spent hours with my yearbook just as everyone else did. I attended the 30th reunion with Suzy Curley and Bobby Bethea, but unfortunately didn't make it to this one.

I have lived in Charlotte for 23 years now where my husband, David, is Dean of Students at Charlotte Country Day School. I have worked in the field of medical billing and coding for about 15 years. It's very challenging and interesting to me. I have 2 children, Edmund (24 yrs) who graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill and Mary (19 yrs) who just graduated from Country Day and will attend Univ of So Carolina at Columbia next year. I have kept up with lots of people through Suzy Curley. We have remained the best of friends since being in homeroom together beginning in 1961. There really has not been a long period of time when we did not have some type of communication. We've been through some hard times but mostly great times and I can't imagine not having her in my life. She even fixed me up on a blind date with my husband when we were at TCU in 1967. Now that's a friend! She made sure that Bobby and I made to the 30th and we wanted to do it again…maybe next time.

Most of the Lorimers still live in Ft Worth. As a matter of fact, only Andy and I live out of the area. We are planning to get together next month for my dad's 85th birthday. In a strange turn of fate, my dad married Nancy Stuck last summer. Two 84 year old love birds. His health isn't the greatest, but they get around pretty well, and I think Nancy is enjoying all her new children and grandchildren (24!) and great grandchildren (3!). I have enjoyed this website so much! Everyone who has written seems to be happy and has accomplished so much. I have to say that my husband, as the disciplinarian at his school, was amazed at the bonfire article.

My favorite teacher was Rita Marie Thompson and I was in her English class when Kennedy was shot. I remember it so well. She was very good to us and I have not met an English teacher who compares to her. Thanks for this website and the opportunity to keep up. See you at the 50th!

Sherry Almquist Seymour has been found!

I recently learned about this website and am thrilled that it exists! I've just spent hours going through it and learning about where people are and what's going on in their lives. I also found out about dear friends who are now gone. It was a shock. Thank you, Clif, for putting this together.

I would have loved to come to the reunion if I'd only known. I did call the school several years ago and was told to call the Star Telegram regarding class reunions. Unfortunately, for me, I didn't follow thorough. The pictures and bios are terrific! What's really exciting is that several friends from school live very close by! Lou Levy and his wife live less than a mile from my mother-in-law in La Jolla.

I've been married to my husband, Peter Seymour, for 20 years and we have one fabulous 18 year old son who just graduated from high school here in Del Mar, California, which is part of San Diego county. He's taking this year off to travel and enjoy himself before throwing himself into college. He's currently in Paris, lucky dog.

Peter is a psychiatrist and medical director for inpatient psychiatric services at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego and has a private practice. We've gone to several of his high school and college reunions ( he grew up in La Jolla) and they've made me long to see all of you.

I graduated from Texas Tech in 1968 with a BA in psychology and a minor in French. I wanted to live in France and be a social worker. I married Gary Joe Hineman, also in our class. We were married for eight years and realized we'd grown up and were different in many ways. We painfully divorced but are still in touch as he lives in San Diego and is an editor for Harcourt Brace.

We moved to Newport, RI so he could go to Officer Candidate School and then to San Diego. I've been here since 1969. I completed my master's degree in Social Work in 1973 and have had a great career ever since. I worked in the 70's helping drug-using teens and parents through education and psychotherapy. I went on to work in the Psychiatry Department of UC San Diego for 12 years as a therapist and teaching graduate students in social work, psychology, anthropology and psychiatric reisidents. It was fun! I've always maintained a private psychotherapy practice, as well. I met Peter in 1984, and it was almost instant love. He had a "scholarship" to go throug medical school that required you pay it back at three times the amount of interest or serve in a "man power shortage area". We chose the latter and moved to Columbia, Tennessee, which is just outside Nashville. We were there for 5 years and returned to San Diego to be near our families. Andy, our son, was born there.

Enough rambling. Finding all of you has been wonderful! Current address: 13786 Pine Needles Drive Del Mar, CA 92014 858-793-0613 saseymour15(at)aol.com Hope to hear from and be in touch with people soon. Sherry

For eight years I was Corporate Quality Assurance Manager for M.E.I. Pepsi-Cola Company over 25 bottling/canning plants throughout the country. Following my years with Pepsi-Cola I worked for two national chemical companies as National Accounts Manager in Atlanta.GA My family returned back to the Metroplex about 6 years ago for family reasons, and I "dabbled" in retail grocery store management with two major companies Currently I am semi-retired while keeping busy coordinating the of drilling of natural gas wells in North Texas on family property and working to sell real estate in Keller, TX.

Sometime soon we will move back to Tulsa to rejoin our in-laws and grandchildren. Reunion: Rae and I are looking forward to the 40th Year Paschal Reunion in June. I have many fond "and some painful" memories of my Paschal days. I still have not forgotten the pain of running for Coach Turner in basketball and Coach James Cox in track. Now I wish I could jog just one lap around the track without stumbling or running out of breath. I am about 40 pounds heavier these days. I have many happy memories of my Paschal and Baylor days. Even though I have not seen many of my "old, but young-at -heart" friends of the 1964-1968 era in many years, I still think of them and wonder where and how they are doing 40 years later. I suppose that I will find out during the June 25-26th Paschal Reunion.

Paschal Days Remembered: Endless sprints in the gym and laps around the track as directed by the Coach Turner and Coach Cox....Senior Prom in 1964.

Looking forward to seeing all of you at that time.

My days at PHS will always bring back fond memories, especially the football games, art class, chorus...can't believe they don't do that any more! PE!! Do they even know what that is? Coach Cox's biology class! The senior plays! My little piece of "junk" Dodge, Lulu, and all the memories she brings.

Occupation: I am a Microbiologist - currently Director of Laboratory Operation for Bio-Medical Services in Austin, Texas.

My thoughts about my PHS days - I have really mixed memories about my days at PHS. I was a "new kid" on the block when I came to PHS, since my mother re-married during my 9th grade year and I moved from Dallas to Ft. Worth. I didn't feel very welcomed at PHS my first couple of years, but by my senior year, I had made a lot of new friends.

I was a twirler in the band my senior year and that was my real interest. Outside of "being in the band" (I was only in the band so I could be a twirler), I competed in twirling contests almost every month. I remember that I was competing in a contest during the Spring of our senior year in Midlothian, Texas, and during warm-ups, I broke my wrist when my baton hit my wrist bone on a difficult catch. I continued through the competition, winning first place (with a broken wrist). I then had to attend most of my senior activities with my arm in a cast. I twirled for a competition group call "Cowtown Cadets" and during my senior year, we won the Texas State Twirling Corp Championship and continued to the National Competition in Milwaukee Wisconsin, where we placed 9th. I remember the day President Kennedy was shot , and watching all of the TV coverage - wondering whether or not we would continue with the Sport Follies presentation that next weekend. (I was one of the Sport Follies Queen nominees).

After graduation, I attended the University of Texas at Austin and pledged Alpha Chi Omega Sorority. I majored in getting my MRS. degree and married at the end of my Sophomore year. After 23 years of marriage, my husband and I decided to go different directions. In 1983, I went back to the University of Texas and proceeded to get a BA in Microbiology and and BS in Medical Technology. I worked for 15 years as a Microbiologist at Brackenridge Hospital in Austin, and in 2002, I became Director of Laboratory Operations for Bio-Medical Services in Austin. Our company provides allergy testing services and treatment on an International scale to over 10,000 veternarians.

I have two children, a daughter - Stephanie Dugger Woodard, who is a family practice attorney in Ft. Worth. She has given me 3 adorable grandsons. I also have a son, William Michael Dugger, that lives in Pflugerville, Texas and manages an auto repair/ tire company. He is married but has no children yet. Almost a year ago, I re-connected with the guy I dated my senior year at PHS. I have been single for 14 years and he is in the middle of a divorce,but we have been dating ever since Easter 2003, and plan to get married probably within the next year. His name is Joe Percy and he was in the class of '65. He played Baritone Sax in the PHS Stage Band and graduated from Tarleton State with a degree in Music Education. He played baseball for PHS and Tarleton State.

Since it seems that there is a recurring DOG theme in everyone's bio's, you can add that 2 years ago I adopted 2 "Carin Terriers"(brothers) from the humane society in Austin. They are now 40 lbs. each and the size of small German Shepherds. Their names are Brooks and Dunn.

Occupation: Scuba Diving Charter boat Captain

After graduating from Paschal, I attended Arlington State College then to become UT at Arlington. After graduating with a Mechanical Engineer degree I then went to work for General Dynamics where I read about their scuba club and I signed up for lessons. I was hooked from the first dive in Canyon Lake.

Four years later I took my first of 4 Scuba Instructor classes in Houston. I then took a position with Cullum and Boren Sporting Goods store in Ft. Worth as there Department Manager for the scuba dept. In 1980 a friend of mine down in Houston just opened a new dive store and asked me if I would move to Houston and teach for him so I did.

In 1988 I sat for my USCG Merchant Marine Captains License 100 ton exam and passed. 3 months later I hired on with Rinn Boats out of Freeport, Texas as Captain on their newly acquired 100' scuba charter dive boat, named the M/V Fling. So for the past 17 years I have been running a lot of trips out in the Gulf of Mexico to the National Marine Sanctuary Flower Garden Banks and Stetson Bank. I am always poor but I will say this I love my job and I get to meet so many new and wonderful people and I have seen many beautiful underwater marine life animals each trip I take out. I am also very active with several Dive clubs in the Houston.

I had a lot of good times at Paschal and miss Having Coach Charlie Turner yelling at me for not doing everything right all the time. He did come up to me one day and said he would go with me to fight the Russians and now we are joined together in the greatest space venture , the International Space Station. Getting to sit in V.P. Cherry's office for 2 years instead of having to sit in study hall. I got to here and see a lot of what happened in the office. I knew how was in trouble before they new they were going to be brought in to Cherry's office. Mr. Barr was just great. Mr. Hamilton taught me a lot and gave me my interest in engineering. Then there was Miss Ripper my English teacher. I was a poor English student, did not like English, did not want to take English either and I had to wind up my first year at Paschal with the toughest English teacher as the word got back to me. Then I signed up for Ms. Ripper my Junior and Senior year. I loved the pain I guess.

Then came the Arlington Heights bon Fire. I wanted to go but did not have a way to get there. The crocodile borrowed from the Ft. Worth Zoo then placed in the halls of Arlington Heights was a blast. Wish I had known about that night before hand I would have been there for sure. Then came the morning of November 22,1963. I along with 3 other Paschal seniors (who will remain anonymous) To protect their innocence, played hooky that morning and went downtown to the Texas Hotel where president Kennedy and Jackie were to come out and say a few words. All 4 of us were not interested in hearing President Kennedy's speech, we just wanted to see Jackie and maybe get to chance to shake her hand and get an autograph. Jackie did not come out . President Kennedy said she was still tired. Then came the announcement in non other than Miss Ripper's English class that the president had been shot and died just 3 hours after I saw him.

Spending all night out at Six Flags over Texas after graduation night was to me a blast. Although my date stole my hat tassel. Then a year later my then girlfriend had my Senior ring and after we broke up she never gave it back to me. To this day I still don't have my Tassel or ring. Then going down town on Saturday night to the "Cellar Club" in hopes of seeing topless women. We even drove to Dallas on night and got into the "Carousel Club" then owned by Jack Ruby and watched Chris Colt and her 45's. Even though I did not drink beer at the time, I was asked and did go into King's Liquor and bought beer for other fellow Paschal classmates several times. They also will remain anonymous.

Paschal was good to me and I thank all my teachers for there wonderful lessons they taught me. Hello D.E.C. wherever you are.

Hi, Ya'll! Life in Colorful Colorado is still grand. I spent last year living in downtown San Francisco, as director of academics for a national charter school company, and dearly loved the adventure, but was anxious to scurry home to my mountains, less population density, a fenced backyard for my standard poodle, people who speak my language, and plenty of parking spaces.

This winter has been enhanced with snowshoeing, yoga, running and lots of varied consulting projects! I am off to Maui in March and London in October. Adventure still calls. Life is pretty darned grand, forty years since PHS! Hope yours is, too!

Spouse: Joyce Ann (Walsh) Burgett

I promised myself that I would not bore my fellow classmates with the details of my life over the past forty years and here I am doing it anyway! I attended Texas Tech for two years after PHS. Unfortunately, I didn't attend classes on a regular basis. Flunked out, received my draft notice in the mail on my 21st birthday and spent two years in the army. I was the only person in my basic training unit that could type (bless you, Ms. Parker, where ever you are!) so I became a company clerk while most everyone else in my unit went straight to the infantry.

I spent eighteen months at Ft. Hood, Texas only 130 miles from home! I've alternated over the years between feelings of relief and guilt that I escaped the morass of Viet Nam while so many others were less fortunate. Thanks to a date arranged by Kelle Birdsong Whitfill, I met Joyce Ann Walsh after our Paschal days - we didn't know each other in high school. We married while I was in the army and will have celebrated our 36th anniversary by reunion time. Surprisingly, JA and Kelle are still best friends! I went back to college after the service and majored in accounting at UTA. While in school, I worked for a company that provided coin laundry service for the apartment, military and college markets and stayed with them after graduation. I had the opportunity to purchase my own company in that same industry in 1975. That company is located in Denver, Colorado and we have been here ever since.

We have two sons, 28 and 24, both still single at this point (no grandchildren) and, much like their father at a young age, still undecided as to what to do with their lives. We enjoy riding motorcycles together and ribbing their mother about her show dogs!

Favorite teacher at PHS - Charlie Turner without a doubt - but probably not for the reason you might think. We all have our Coach Turner stories but mine is perhaps a little more personal. I had Coach Turner for last period my senior year. Coach was aware that I worked after school and weekends and was also aware of some family financial problems we were having. Our arrangement was that I would come by his office every afternoon before last period, shake his hand and leave for work. I received straight A's and perfect attendance for that class. I'd give a lot to be able to shake Coach Turner's hand one last time. Another irony - the folks I worked for that year were investors in my company a dozen years later and we have remained partners for 28 years.

I think I have bored you enough. Look forward to seeing y'all (I still get kidding about my Texas twang after all these years away from home).

Correction: Joyce Ann informs me that it was Mike Moore, not Kelle Birdsong, who arranged our first date. Must be an early onset of Alzheimer's. And to think I have blamed Kelle all these years!

Sr. Financial Advisor - Morgan Stanley

I will always consider Ft. Worth, my hometown and my days at Paschal, some of the best days of my life that included some of my first eye opening experiences. My life since has been rich and full. I left Texas for college in California and never returned. I went to college (California State University, Fresno) on a golf scholarship, played five years, joined a frat (SAE) and continued to have more of the same fun that I had begun at Paschal.

Grew up in California during the turbulent 60's and spent summers in San Francisco and Berkley, increasing my eye opening experiences. After college, I turned professional in golf and played for five years primarily on the various mini-tours in and out of the country. I returned to Fresno State at the end of my playing career and was offered the position of college golf coach.

After five years as a the golf coach I resigned and started a residential and commercial construction company with my dad which we maintained for 18 years. In 1995 I moved to Atlanta, GA to be closer to my brother and shortly after went to work for Morgan Stanley as a Financial Advisor.

The most profound change in my life came the day my son, Mathew, was born and as it turns out, this is his senior year in High School, precisely at the time when I am about to visit my old high school and all of the friends who made that experience so memorable. I have tried to explain this to him and to give him a snap shot of what he may expect 40 years from now, if he is so lucky.

I can't believe it's been 40 years! Of course, the number 1 memory is JFK's assassination and all of us in total shock. The big snow storm & doing donuts in TCU's parking lot. Being best friends with Sandra Estes & all the good times we had. We still keep in touch.

About 3 years ago, I found some of the kids that I went through all 12 years of school together & we had a mini reunion dinner. That was thanks to the Internet, but the women are still the hardest to find. What great fun that was & I look forward to seeing others that I haven't seen in 40 years.

I married a graduate of Paschal, but met him at Bell Helicopter. He graduated in '60. We later parted, but we did manage to have 2 great sons. The oldest has 2 daughters now 2 1/2 years & 13 months. Wow! I'm a grandmother! It's such great fun, so much different from raising boys. The youngest is still single. Both are doing great. I look forward to retirement, which I can do at 60.

I restore vintage motorcycles (thanks to the skills Uncle Sam so wisely taught me), write stories and poetry, ski, fish, bicycle and play mediocre golf. One wife; two grown kids - one in Colorado, the other in NYC.

I live in Crested Butte summers and winters, San Antonio autumns and springs. No whining here.

Paschal Memories - Sitting in Mr. Wyatt's office my 10th grade year - I was so overwhelmed with his presence, I forgot I was in trouble. Getting caught playing hooky with Paul Pulliam at Kips when Mr. Berry and Mr. Cherry walked in for lunch with the honchos from the "main office". Getting complimented by Mrs. Lessor and Mr. Barr for my academic acumen - a rare experience. Pep rallies getting out of control. That crazy bonfire. The pain of knowing Cynthia Preston would have rather been with Mike Carson than me for the senior graduation party at Benbrook.

I remain an irredeemable nostalgic and look forward to reminiscing with all the old Panthers. I still find it astonishing that such a short segment of my life was filled with so much positive and negative emotion: acceptance and rejection, joy and despondency, self-confidence and insecurity. From the responses to this reunion's plans, I must not be alone.

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- Wow -- What a Ride!"

PHS DAYS: The best part of my days at PHS were the wonderful friends I made. I'm so fortunate that many of them are still such an important part of my life. I remember sitting in front of Susan Webb in Mrs. Howell's history class. Every time Mrs. Howell returned quizzes, Susan always made 100's and I did well just to get anything which slightly resembled passing! And having to dissect those yucky frogs in Mrs. Grisso's biology class which, I am sure, resulted in my lifelong phobia of frogs. Mrs. Standifer's tennis drills. My favorite teacher was Mrs. Kendall who inaugurated my amateur writing career. DOS. Weejuns. Managing to have 3 lunch periods my senior year. Never getting in trouble for having 3 lunch periods my senior year.

Since days at PHS: I guess I qualify as a true Colorado resident since we've lived in the beautiful Mile High City for 28 years. It has been a wonderful place to live and raise my family. Tom and I both enjoy playing golf and there are so many beautiful places in Colorado to play. Also, there are no frogs, fleas or ticks. I spent about 10 years doing community volunteer work and then took up my true passion of breeding and showing top-winning Bearded Collies. I have made some wonderful friends through my travels with my dogs. My other passion is needlepointing which I do in between grooming dogs. I look forward to seeing everyone at the reunion. Are we sure it's our 40th? It hasn't been that long has it?

Shortly after graduation in '64 the Navy called for 4 years during which I did 2 tours in Viet Nam. Life after the Navy found it's way through defense plant work at LTV and then GD. Tarrant County Junior College laid the ground work for attending the University of Texas at Austin. While in at the University I became dedicated to the game of Rugby. After two years at the University I took a 10 year Rugby sabbatical. To support myself I hired on with SWBT. While on Rugby sabbatical I was honored by being invited to the 1976 USA Eagle (the National Rugby Team) camp, the first since the 1924 Olympics. And during this period I met Karen and we were married. Not to be out done by my wife, a Graduate of the University, this aging Rugby player and telephone man terminated his sabbatical and 18 months later graduated from the University with a BBA in Management.

With this degree Ma Bell decided I needed to go on tour to apply my telephone man skills within the company. This took the adventures, George and Karen, from Austin to St. Louis, then to Dallas, then to Chicago and back to Austin while living through the 1984 break up of the Phone Company. While on this tour my daughters Leslie and Ashley were born. And I became an expert in the maintenance and administration of telephone switching systems. My return to Austin was with the now SBC Communications. There I did applied research at SBC Laboratories. After six years and four patents dealing with next generation telephony architectures I got an offer I couldn't refuse and retired after 28 years. Now was a time of bliss in the consulting realm of the telephone industry.

This bliss came crashing down with the dot com bust of 2001. I returned to SBC where today I am applying my profession at SBC Advanced Solutions, Inc. and enjoying watching my children grow up. Yes, my wife and I waited a while to have our kids while enjoying each other and our travels. Regards

After graduation, I spent the summer of '64 in France with a TCU study tour living with as an exchange student in a French home for a month. I learned just enough French to shop, order meals and to tell everyone that I really didn't speak French. I spent my freshman and sophomore years at Baylor University where I met my first wife. I spent my junior and senior years at TCU - but I lived in Dallas and commuted every day by bus. After graduation and commissioning the Air Force assigned me as a Data Processing specialist to Scott AFB in Illinois, across the Mississippi river from St. Louis. After only two of my four year tour my unit moved to a base just south of Kansas City, Missouri. Two short years I found myself assigned to the Oakland Army Terminal in California. I spend the best 4 years of my military career as an Air Force officer on an Army base that managed all of the air and sea shipping on the West coast during Vietnam.

I must have done something well there, as my next AF assignment was Computer Science graduate school at Texas A&M University. (my dad was certain that my goal in life was to attend all of the SWC universities). From A&M, I was assigned to the Pentagon and after 4 years there, somehow the AF got 'confused' and reassigned me to the Defense Communications Engineering Center, in Reston Virginia - only 4 miles from my house. My last AF assignment was with the NATO AWACS Software Support Center in Geilenkirchen, Germany, near the Dutch border about 90 miles from Kolon. I learned just enough German to shop, order meals and to have pre-school conversations with my German neighbors. I retired from the Air Force in the summer of 1988.

My last few years with NATO were spent traveling back and forth to Boeing in Seattle. So when I retired from the Air Force, I took a job with Boeing in Seattle. My first wife decided to 'find herself' in 1991. My daughter had enlisted in the Air Force and was stationed in England at that time. I went to visit her for Christmas in 1991 and met my current wife, Frances, New Year's Eve. Frances and I were married in November 1992 and now I have a total of four grown children - two in the US and two in England. Frances and I try to go to England at least once a year and often host English friends over here for 'summer holidays'. It was easier when I worked for Boeing, since they shut down every year for about 2 weeks at Christmas. However, I took early retirement from Boeing on 31-Aug-2001.

My son, Matt was in the Pentagon on 11-Sep-2001. He heard the airplane hit the building and then evacuated with a friend to safety. He said the most scary part was the next day when he realized that the plane hit the new offices that he had declined just a few months before! I started my 3rd career with Washington Mutual Bank on 17-Sep-2001. I am currently an Assistant Vice President for Software Release Management. Frances and enjoy the Seattle area and traveling to both business conferences and on holidays with our friends. We have two grandsons by my daughter who lives in the DC-area. My son is now out of the Air Force and is a government contractor working at his old job in the Pentagon. My English daughter and her husband live in Norwich England (100 miles NE of London) and my English son live in Milton Keynes about 90 miles north of London.

It seems like I have had some major life event for every past PHS reunion. I was packing up a household in Virginia headed for Germany in 1984. And in 1994, I was restarting a household and career here in the Seattle area. I think of many of you often and have enjoyed reading the published bios - and sadly the 'obits' also. Moving around so often over the past 40 years has offered me the advantages of getting to know many people and many places - but it also means that when I look around for someone they are simply not there. Emails help bridge the gap whether its across the street or around the world. For a photo of me and Frances, try my website: http://home.comcast.net/~john.d.tomlinson/ or send an e-mail.

My favorite memories of PHS were manning the Library 'pass desk' during the lunch periods. I remember my English teacher, MS Kendell, since I had her all three years. And of course I remember our all-night graduation party at 6-Flags!

After graduating, I went to Texas Tech and majored in Music (piano performance). No, you don't remember me in anything musical at Paschal and yes, it was probably not the best choice of majors. However, I persevered and it has turned out well. Married my husband of 36 years, Leon, in '67.

We have lived in or near Lubbock ever since, except for 3 Army years spent mostly in Mineral Wells. Have lived in Shallowater (10 miles NW of Lubbock) for 25 years. We have 2 married sons and 4 grandchildren. They are all the best and cutest, but you don't have time for the details. Leon, also a musician, has been in and out and back into public school music, and, after getting elem. certification, I taught 4th & 6th grades in Shallowater for 17 years and then became the middle school counselor. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, I also have a small private practice. My hobbies are music, photography, speaking at educational and counseling conferences, travel and a little fly fishing in Colorado.

Best memories of PHS: friendships that grow sweeter every year, the bon fire, visiting with friends in the front hall every day before school, charity club meetings, graduation night at the Benbrook party (too cold, too loud, too out of control - where were the adults?) Best teachers: Mrs.. Kendall and Mr.. Barr. They were real and they cared.

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE AT THE REUNION.

It seems like eons ago that the world of high school existed. Regrettably I have not participated in the past reunions. However, I would like to be part of the 40th.

A brief summary since those bygone days of fun and frolic:

After High School I meandered around colleges for five years until dad said "get a job". Six years in the care and feeding of the United States Army. (Two active, four reserve) Degrees: yes, several (if only Mrs. Lesser could have lived to see it) BS in Mechanical Engineering ("Laudy How Come") and after being laid off twice, changed career paths and second, BA in Finance and Marketing (Magna Cum Laude) and then an MBA several years later.

Employed: 4 years various Aerospace companies, design engineer, in the area. 3 years president of Prelim Architectural Renderings (an art firm) 9 years United States Steel Corporation as Director of Marketing Communications 20 years Lockheed Martin, Financial, Cost/Price Analyst

Hobbies: Art (becoming a 3D graphic art junky), reading (Louise Ann Smith would probably had trouble believing I'd ever learn to read) and golf [8 Hdcp] (Mr. Gault once said that football was a better sport for me)

Family: Married 25 years to an Arizona beauty; four daughters and a son; five grandsons and one precious nine month old granddaughter

Incidental: Extremely near sighted (but contacts have eliminated those great black horn rimmed glasses we used wear). Lived in Wedgwood for 15 years and recently built a new home in Mansfield to be closer to the kids. Recently found out that John Polk works for the same company, though back east. Bob McElroy and I attend the same church.

Remember when we had decals that said "The High School"?

Thanks, Bill

Elaine Davis (Cue) here. Wow has time passed flown or what? 40 years.....unbelievable! As you can see from my return address I am now in Asheville, North Carolina and the Executive Director of a college that is 100 years old!! This area of the country is where I originally came from, with both my mother and father attending college in North Carolina.

I have two grown children. Kelly, my daughter, is now 34 married with two daughters and lives in Seattle. She is a PhD in Clinical Psychology and is a research scientist at the University of Washington. Her husband is Director of the department at Microsoft that creates the games for the Xbox. My son Chris, is married, with a son and daughter and lives in Myrtle Beach, SC. He is 30 and I think may have finally "found himself". He is going back to school and is also a very popular DJ.

I have been fortunate and lived all over the country since graduation. I went to NTSU and married Bill Cue. We divorced in 1985 and remain great friends. After the divorce, I sold the Peanut Shack that I owned at Six Flags Mall and fell into education. I have run colleges in Dallas, Columbia(SC), San Francisco, Tucson, Lafayette(Ind.), Cleveland (OH) and now Asheville.

Sad news for our family was of course the passing of my Dad, Pete Davis in 1994. Many of you contacted me when you saw the obituary in the Star Telegram and I appreciate your concerns very much. One year ago, my sister Delia Anne (6 years younger than us) passed away. She had been very ill and we were deeply saddened by the loss of such an incredibly vibrant person. Anne graduated from Paschal in 1970.

I have our college graduation on June 27, 2004, but I am planning on coming to the reunion anyway. I just may have to take a red-eye to get back in time for the celebration here. I will look forward to hearing from anyone that would like to catch up (ha........40 years!!!!!!!) and I am really looking forward to the reunion.

Wow.......Colonial..........I "took my bow" there along with Gail Allen, Micki Cooles among others. And Dad was chairman of the Colonial Tournament for several years in the 70's.............his portrait was still on the wall downstairs the last time I was there, along with the other chairmen. This will be so much fun! Thanks for finding me and thanks for the invitation!

We live in White Bear Lake, which is a northern suburb of St Paul, where we've been for the past 22 1/2 years. Winters are great if you love snow and cold temperatures and sports. This winter, the city of St Paul built an ice castle which was great fun along with a hockey all star tournament. I'm sure you've all heard of Herb Brooks the Olympic hockey coach whose story is told in the current movie, Miracle. He lived in this city as well. White Bear Lake is also mentioned in the movie Fargo.

I would like to invite ya'll to come on up and visit sometime. We have over 10,000 lakes in Minnesota and there are lots of things to do. I just learned downhill skiing the past two years and hope to do some higher mountain skiing next winter, maybe in Colorado. See you at the reunion. Best wishes, Suzanne

Occupation: investments

I am currently quasi-retired after 20+ years as an automobile dealer in Houston. My wife of 35+ years (Mary Gwen) and I have 2 grown daughters and 2 grandsons. I thought retirement would be tough because I loved what I was doing, but it turns out that I enjoy the heck out of doing whatever I want to do whenever I want to do it. Included in the list of enjoyed activities are tennis, golf, fly fishing, skiing, mountain biking, reading, traveling, and grandparenting. We spend a good amount time at our home in Crested Butte, Colorado, and frequently get back to Fort Worth where my parents and brother still live.

Judging from a quick perusal of Paschal alum bios, Charlie Turner wins the prize as Paschal's most unforgettable character. I still remember exactly how he walked, how he sounded, and much of what he said, yet I often can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday. His persona is pretty much summed up for me by comments he made one day in gym class when we were all on our backs on the floor doing leg raises to see who would collapse last, and thus were a captive audience for a while. Paraphrasing: "I know it is probably hard for you to appreciate right now why all this pain is necessary, so I will tell you. When you leave Paschal and are shipped to Viet Nam and the first Viet Cong you meet runs you through the belly with his bayonet, I want him to feel how tough it is and say with admiration 'That must have been one of Charlie Turner's boys'."

We have two married daughters and each of them have three kids. So we now have six grandkids, all under the age of five. Started my own C.P.A. firm in June, 1975 and worked it until June, 2000. Sold it to some younger accountants and I am now retired from accounting work. Doing some investments, oil and gas properties and ranching.

My mid-life crisis has taken me to motorcycle riding for several years. My highlight of that phase was a trip to Sturgis with Clif and Steve Barnhart and some friends from FW (like Jim Loveless).

I enjoyed lots of stuff at Paschal. POSSE, football games, and my three favorite teachers were Mrs. Ripper, Mrs. Lester and Mr. Gire. Learned a lot from them.

My current mid-life crisis is team roping and general ranch work (and fun). My wife and I enjoy our church, Bible studies, and many other parts of life. We all have big ups and downs. Just got to get through them one day at a time.

WoW!! 40 years? Where did the time go? I attended Tarleton State for 2 years. My maternal grandparents owned a ranch near Stephenville, and I left for college, majoring in agriculture, certain that I wanted to raise cattle and horses. During my first semester, my agronomy professor (who was also my freshman counselor) Mr. Evans called me into his office and asked me why I was wasting my time in Ag courses, what did I really want to do. So at his urging I changed my major to pre-veterinary medicine.

I went to summer school for 2 years and was accepted into vet school at Texas A&M in June 1966. At the time the veterinary curiculum there was 9 trimesters, so we attended classes year round for 3 years. I graduated with honors and a DVM at the tender age of 23, still not knowing what my life's work might be. I considered going to graduate school in pathology and also considered, all but briefly, law school. In September 1969 I got a job as a veterinarian working for Dr. Ed Ellison at Wedgewood Animal Hospital in Fort Worth earning the handsome sum of $750 monthly. I got my first paycheck and invested part of it on a Labrador Retriever puppy. I subsequently attended a retriever field trail (bad mistake), and I have been heavily involved with competition retrievers since 1971.

In 1974, I left Dr. Ellison, and went into partnership in a veterinary practice (small animal medicine and surgery) in a growing northern suburb of Dallas, Lewisville. My partner retired from practice in 1990, and I became the sole proprietor. I have 2 associate veterinarians who work for me. I'm currently working 3 1/2 days a week and loving it, because I enjoy my profession and I have a great staff.

I met my wife of 20 years, Judy, at a field trial in 1977. We live on 40 acres in rural Denton County and we own a 600 acre farm/retriever training facility in Cooke County near Valley view. We own 10 black Labrador Retrievers, 5 of which are in competition, 4 Jack Russell Terriers, and 3 cats. We were both previously married and both of us are childless. Judy was born in New Jersey, and grew up in Chicago. Her father was the head of the National Merit Scholarship Foundation for many years. The midwest city girl has embraced rural Texas life with considerable vigor. She spends part of her day on one her 4 Kubota tractors and we train dogs together. She has trained 2 National Champion Retrievers and is a member of the Retriever Hall of Fame. We compete in about 12 or 15 field trials each year, most of them in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.

Besides training dogs, for fun, I go pheasant hunting in South Dakota twice a year and in Kansas twice a year. Oh, and Eddie became Ed after I left PHS.

Joyce Ann (Walsh) Burgett called me and shamed me into participating in this nostalgic activity.

Hello to all of the PHS class of 64. Reading the bio's has been great fun. Our class definitely produced many successful adults; many still married to their original spouses(you are my heroes) and many living far from Fort Worth. We have lost a few good friends, but most are still here and relatively healthy and look great too.

My fondest memories of PHS are of Carlson's, Merry-Go--Round, Parkaire Drive- In, parties at my house on Mistletoe Dr., Phylades, finally getting to car date at 16, when I was a junior!! Mrs. Aubyn Kendall encouraged me to read, read, and read. It is one of my favorite pastimes. Mrs. Dunning encouraged me to develope my artistic talents, and I majored in Art at Texas Tech for a year and a half. I guess that I am using these artistic talents today in my business. I am a cosmetologist and have had my business in Hurst the last 20 years. I realized too late that I should have gotten a degree in psychology too. My clients could then get an hour session and have their nails done at the same time and I could charged a lot more than I do now! Now I listen to it at no charge!

I've been very fortunate to maintain many friendships from PHS. Some I see often, others I talk to frequently, others only occasionally. They all mean so much to me. Steve Webb and I married in 1966. Jennifer was born in 1969. She and her husband, Scott have 3 daughters, Mackinsey 6, Sydney 4, and Carson Grace, 4 months. Jim was born in 1970. He has a daughter, Ashley 13, and my only grandson, Stephen Dillon 10. My grandchildren make their GaGa feel special all the time. I love being being a grandmother.

My life is calm now. I have accepted Christ as my Savior. I love to garden, fill my bird feeders, walk, play with Lucie, my dog that I found 4 years ago. I date occasionally, still like to go dancing. Someday, before I get too old, I would like to learn to play the drums and finish my scuba diving lessons. Guess I'll close this novel now. Looking forward to seeing everyone in June. Remember: Joy is contagious, but don't wait to catch it from others; be a carrier. Love, Pandora

An open letter:

Professor Robert Barr, Ph.D.

Dear Dr. Barr,

I am writing at the suggestion of my parents, John Watson and Trish Clardy Watson. They believe that it is high time for you to take responsibility for the consequences of your actions, namely me! You see, the way they tell it, my story begins in a “shack” (?) on Berry Street in Fort Worth in the year 1962. They say they were trying to stay awake during your history class and minding their own businesses. As they tell the story, you then asked each of them if they had a date for the following Saturday. Since neither did (no surprise to me!), you suggested they go out together. And the rest is history (so to speak) . . . .

After high school, Dad took a degree in political science at Rice and Mom took hers in medical technology at TCU. After college, they married (1968, so I figure they’ve been together about 40 years!) and moved to Austin, where Dad took a law degree while Mom worked to support them. (He says he’s paid her back for that; she says she’ll let him know when they’re even.) They then moved to Houston, where Dad joined Fulbright & Jaworski. He has been practicing corporate and securities law there ever since. (Don’t ask me what he actually does, but I think some of it involves writing very boring books he calls prospectuses.)

Mom continued to work as a Medical Technologist until I was born in 1975. I have been her full-time job ever since. Right now, I’m a resident in surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, so I need all the help I can get! When Mom is not doing my laundry and running my errands, she does charity work through her job as President of her college sorority alumnae association and her commitments to the Houston Ronald McDonald House.

They spend a lot of time at Rice as community associates of Dad’s old residential college. This is a perfect job for him. Some of his lame old stories aren’t too bad, but I got tired of them a long time ago. Since he’s too old to get any fresh stories, it’s good that he has fresh audiences at Rice – and they turn over every four years! Dad denies he’s too old to get fresh stories. To prove it to me (he swears that’s the only reason), he worked as a massage therapist on the models at the Victoria’s secret fashion show last fall. Since no one would believe that, he put his evidence on the web at http://home.houston.rr.com/jaw/images/Victoria_s_Secret_Massage_Gig.pdf. (Check out the massive sweat stains on him. I never thought I would feel pity for a lingerie model.) In addition to his massage therapy work (he’ll work on cancer patients if no supermodels are around) and work for Rice, Dad does combat handgun instructing, rides his motorcycle (looks like a dork with all his protective gear), works in Photoshop on digital photographs (I take better photos than he does – see http://www.ofoto.com/I.jsp?c=rt703pr.ufb59a3&x=1&y=mkgz8k for proof), plays with the dogs and works on the course he will teach at Rice when he retires in a few years (something about neo-Darwinism and human nature).

Mom sure as heck doesn’t want him around the house making messes. Let him go pester those poor Rice kids. (The old fool still thinks the country would be better off if Barry Goldwater had beaten Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 presidential race. He should get over it already!)

As an only child (who wants to share?), I feel it is my duty to run Mom ragged. It seems to give her a purpose. Honestly, medical school and residency would have been a lot harder if not for all her help. But don’t tell her that. She hints about wanting grandchildren, but who has time for that nonsense? Of course, if I do have kids, they will have to raise them for me. My only condition is that Dad must never speak to them! I don’t want them infected, as I was, with his warped sense of humor.

Mom and Dad plan to attend Paschal’s 40th reunion this summer. Maybe they will see you there. Thank God at least I don’t have to go. But they seem to be looking forward to it. Mom and Dad define success in life in terms of the positive influence you have on others. They consider you to be one of the most successful men they have known. Thanks for helping me get born.

Yours truly, Ginger Watson, M.D.

p.s. I’ve attached a photo of the three of us for your continued amusement.

My daughter Lee Erin just got married after graduation from Skidmore and lives in Brooklyn Heights and my son Ross is half way through Emory. I have attended the 10th, 20th and 30th reunions so I don’t plan to break that streak.

It has been so good to hear from someone "back home" this past weekend! I am in the retirement state of mind--I was going to get around to it sooner or later! (I won't rehash that boring old "round tuit" joke.)

Rob and I live in Princeton, Indiana, which is 30 miles north of Kentucky and 10 miles east of Illinois. Our house was built in 1901, and we have three-quarters of an acre for gardening, flowers, and Rob's tractors and backhoe. (I don't know anybody else whose husband owns a backhoe, but he likes it!)

I'm not sure I have any goofy pictures from high school--I was too serious and too shy back then. I have certainly made up for it as an adult! I have ridden motorcycles; camped, hiked, and canoed with the Boy Scouts; directed a church choir and sung with an African-American Gospel choir; and written letters to legislators. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot--I taught in public, private, and prison schools for a total of 29 years.

I have great memories of my years at Paschal, with good friends and playing drums in the band and stageband. I continued to play drums professionally for about 12 years after graduation. I went to Texas Wesleyan College for two years, and then went to work at General Dynamics in the Logistics Department (while still playing drums at night at clubs and dance halls around the area).

As a Union member at GD, I was asked to work full time for the Union-- Office and Professional Employees Internatioal-- and retired from the Union and GD in 2001. I have two sons, 38 and 35 and three grandsons.

My wife, Carol and I live on the lake in Granbury where we enjoy boatng and fishing. Since having two by-pass surgeries, I enjoy the gift of every day and appreciate all life's blessings!! Best of everything to all the '64 grads, and especially Charlie Cramer and Richard Thomas from the band!!

Hey Panthers, Here is another '64 Paschalite from the sunny state of Florida.

I had never really thought about attending any of the reunions until this year when I received an e-mail from Clif Barnhart. I guess the older you get the more important memories are, and I have some great ones from my years at Paschal and Fort Worth. Tom Davis lives close by and we get together occasionally and reminisce about "the bonfire" and other great times we had.

After graduating in'64 I attended (goofed off at) UTA for a couple of years then joined the Navy during the height of the Viet Nam war. After leaving the Navy, I moved to Kansas City/St. Louis Missouri. While in Missouri I received my degree in business from Columbia College.

In 1981 I returned to Cowtown as the regional operations manager for Whataburger until 1993. In 1994 I moved to Lake Granbury where I became involved in managing properties and facilities for several companies. In 2001 I received a great offer from Sprint and moved to Atlanta, GA. After only a year in Atlanta I transferred to the Orlando area where I manage the Sprint facilities in the state of Florida. As great as Texas is, we really love Florida and plan to retire here.

I met the love of my life, Cindy, the second time around and life couldn't be better. Cindy is a travel agent for Dillard's. I have two beautiful daughters, Natalie, 24, and Christy, 31. Both are graduates of Texas Wesleyan with degrees in theatre. Christy is the director for theatre in the Aledo Public Schools and Natalie works for Harris Hospital while pursuing her career in acting. Natalie was in a couple of plays at Casa Manana with our class mate John Cadenhead, now deceased. I have two sons (by marriage), Blake Thornhill, an Optometrist in Atlanta and a graduate of TCU and the University of Houston. Brandon also lives in Atlanta and is the rebel in the family. I have twin grand daughters, Emily and Katy, 7, and expecting a grandson right before the reunion.

So now I have two reasons to come back to Ft. Worth. I enjoy scuba diving; I'm a hacker at golf, and love to travel to Mexico (Cindy gets some great deals). I look forward to seeing many of you I have not seen for 40 years. Where did time go?

Hi Everyone,

We moved to the Atlanta Georgia suburbs back in 1991. After working in banking for almost 30 years, I took an early retirement. My wife; Mary Ann, and I run a small business out of home now. We have a 25 year old son (Brad) and a 3 year old grandson (Tyler).

I'm sorry to say that we will not be able to attend the Alumni Reunion Party due to some prior commitments. I would like to know when the Alumni Directory will be ready. I would like to purchase one.

By the way, Bill Williams, Jr. is living in Athens, Georgia. I ran into him one day while at the mall but I did not get his phone number or address. Everybody have a great party and thanks for asking us to attend.

I'm still here in Guatemala. And so is Nancy Kelley, which is in itself a testament to human endurance, I suspect. That's her endurance, not mine.

The snail-mail invitation did arrive while I was out of the country, and I barely received your e-mail due to my having changed an e-mail address. (I've found spam is like crabgrass--the only way to get rid of it is to move.) I visited the website you've put together, and it's spectacular. I was impressed. So much so that I lingered there for a good 2 hours. That's a trick not many websites can perform.

It's not too likely we will be able to attend the reunion all the way from Guatemala. Nancy and I both have some wonderful memories of Paschal--I think it might be a great time to renew acquaintances with classmates as adults (I will not say "mature" for fear of having to prove that I am, in reality, mature). I hope to add more to the biographies section, and perhaps the favorite teachers section--I notice my own personal favorite has yet to be mentioned.

I began looking for my name in the discussion of The Big Crush, but then realized this was not a sci-fi bulletin board and therefore let it drop.

Even if we cannot attend, we will look forward to seeing the photos and reading what other Panthers have to say about it. And who knows, perhaps two more members of the Class of '64 will show up, after all.

Blessings, my friend... H. Rhea

My life has been a very good ride up to this point. I have had a dual-track career. I worked at the Star-Telegram from 1964-1979 as a sports writer and later a feature writer.

In 1979 I began working for Tarrant County and served as constable until I retired the last day of 2000. Retirement wasn't really too hot--sitting around every day waiting for Oprah to come on. I now work part-time (weekends, holidays) for the Star-Telegram in the obituary department. I also work part-time during the week for the Tarrant County Sheriff's Department as an extradition officer.

I am divorced and have a son, David, who is an attorney in Fort Worth.

Favorite places for meeting classmates from the class of '64--The Paris Coffee Shop, Cashons Delicatessen, Caro's Restaurant, the Oui Lounge. I would love to hear from anybody interested.

Occupation: Gospel Singer

After receiving the invitation to the forty year reunion, I started thinking back to those days. So I took the old Paschal 64 yearbook off the shelf and dusted it off. Thumbing through the pages brought back memories of several things….being in Mr. Gaults class and hearing about the assassination of President John Kennedy; Charlie Turner and those licks for doing something dumb; and spanking Tech 42 to 0. We had a good football team in those days. Merry Go Round for some good burgers and Lone Star Drive-In on the week-ends.

I didn’t have many friends from Paschal that lived in the TCU area, my home was in southeast Fort Worth. I was very shy in high school and didn’t make friends easily but I do remember some good folks: Tricia Bares, Marshal Billingsley, Dan Bishop, Ross Dumpke, George Gomez, Dan Grantland, Dwayne Green, Jimmy Huckaby, Linda Lace, David Lumpkin, Mike McLemore, Glenda Mann- Linda Mann, Diane Newman, Betty Nowell, Beverly Peters, Bonnie Petrash, Don Roberts, Bob Roland, Lois Singleton, Jim Slaughter and Gary Youngblood.

After graduating, by the skin of my teeth, I joined the Air Force and spent a tour in Viet Nam. Following discharge from the Air Force I spent 27 years in commercial construction. Nine years ago I met three guys in church who all had a desire to form a gospel quartet. For a while we sang on week-ends while continuing to hold full time jobs during the week. About four years ago after much prayer and with the blessings of our wives, we quit our jobs and went into full-time service singing the gospel.

Since making that commitment , God has taken us on a wonderful journey. We have made friends all over the US. In 2000 we were privileged to sing at several locations in Sydney, Australia during the Olympic games. This year we have put together a cruise to Alaska and have 370 of our fans going with us. Next year our quartet will be taking more fans with us on a cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. If interested you can look at our quartets website www.shilohquartet.com .

In 1980 I married my wife, Charlotte. Together we have 4 adult children and are expecting our eighth grandchild in July. “ Ain’t God Good!!”

I’ve been in Ft. Worth all my life, except for the 3 years I spent in the navy.

I’ve been happily married to the same girl ( Mary Magdaline Perez from Tech High School) for 37-1/2 years and have 3 children. Our oldest has 2 boys and another child on the way. Our youngest son is still single and our oldest son died in a motorcycle accident when he was 22 years old.

I played rugby football with the Fort Worth Rugby Football club for 14 years. That was a great part of my life. I took up Tae Kwon Do and received a black belt. Now I pump iron, swim, and play racquetball. My son decided to play rugby about 6 years ago, so I came out of retirement so that we could play on the same pitch together. That is an absolutely great feeling.

It will be fun to see my classmates again. Adam Pacheco Jr.

As much as I would like to attend the reunion, I do not think I will be able to make it as we are overseas (Geneva, Switzerland). So this brief review will have to do unless you are passing through Geneva.

You can find me at the U.S. Mission in Geneva (022-749-4391 if calling from Geneva or 41-22-749-4391 if calling from the States).

After Paschal, I attended Lawrence Univ. in Appleton, WI and graduated in history. Then two years in the Peace Corps in Turkey where I met my wife Marjorie, also a Volunteer in Turkey and later married in 1972. Following a stint with the Office of Economic Opportunity (the old War on Poverty program) in Wash DC and Philadelphia, we went to Juba, Sudan to manage a refugee food program from 72-74. Juba is near the end of the world, and this is the hardest thing we have done.

Back to states for 6 years in Wisconsin to work at the state and local level in the anti-poverty program. Joined the Foreign Service (State Department) in 1980 and have been with State ever since. We have had assignments in Turkey, Moscow (when it was still part of the evil empire), Zambia, Hong Kong, Taiwan as well as Washington DC. Currently we are in Geneva and will be here until the summer of 2006. I do management work at embassies (i.e. keep them running) or in this case at the U.S. Mission to United Nations agencies in Geneva.

We have four kids, three of whom were born overseas. Three are independent and one is still with us. Stop by and say hello if you find yourself in Geneva.

Hi Fellow Panthers,

There's been so much in what seems to be such a short time since entering and graduating from Paschal. The memories are more than nostalgic, they are a true part of my life. The Fall after graduation I attended The University of Texas at Austin and graduated four years later with a Bachelor's of Arts degree in Language Science. To this day, I have never used my training in a vocation, and wonder at times if my language is much of a science.

After UT, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and spent a tour of duty in Viet Nam in 1969 as an Infantry Platoon Commander. Upon my completion of active duty in 1971, I returned to Texas and found work in the oilfields.

After many years of trial and errors and a few successes along the way, I actually learned that I could be an oil and gas operator, even with a language degree. Today, I own an independent oil and gas exploration and development and operating company based in Austin, with field activities in the Gulf Coast area and in South Texas. I am married to a wonderful and beautiful woman, Peggy Hutchison, who is a PhD audiologist in private practice. We have a bright Black Lab, who is a very special member of our pack.

It's going to be great renewing old friendships and meeting many classmates that I never had the experience of getting to know.

Since 1971, engaged in property tax consulting working in approximately 35 states. Current focus is in the southwest part of the country. My favorite "extracurricular" PHS memories were the chaining of the road equipment to the front door of the school and securing our home-made Paschal flag to the top of the Height"s flag pole and greasing it down. I'm primarily proud that I was able to evade Fort Worth's finest the night of these events. Some of my fellow Panthers were not as fortunate. However, they shall remain unnamed.

My favorite teachers were Carole Applewhite(who I had a crush on) and Julia Lesser. After Mama Lesser's EA class, I knew I could do numbers!

Life has been good to me. I have a loving marriage and two wonderful children. I have been able to provide for my family, and my health is still excellent. I have truly been blessed!

Hello!

I guess I was one of the invisible kids wandering the halls at Paschal. I started not to write anything because I doubt if many remember me. I was a little chunky (maybe more than a little), shy and without much direction. After graduation I went to UTA (Arlington State) and actually graduated with a degree in engineering. This surprised even me since I was never much of a student at PHS.

After finishing at UTA I worked for General Dynamics before losing my critical industry deferment and getting drafted. I ended up spending 5 years in the Army. Went through Officer Candidates School then Flight School and spent my military career at an Infantry Officer/Helicopter Pilot. I went to Viet Nam and spent a year with an Air Cav unit in the Delta. I was a lean mean fighting machine.

Since leaving the Army I've been a recruiter (headhunter) both for large companies and now self-employed since 1990.

I married in '72 to Brenda and have two children Matt (27), a network analyst, and Kristin (23), hopefully to graduate next December with a degree in Mass Communications.

Forty Years - WOW!

I think of Paschal often. Not so much the good times, not so much the great teachers and classmates, but the values it gave me. Paschal and Fort Worth in the 50s and 60s was a magical place.

Life is good. After graduation, I bounced in and out of several universities and colleges before receiving a business degree from North Texas State in January of 69. I joined the Air Force Reserve at Carswell in 1968 where I served as a military public health specialist. In 1970 I married Susan Ellman (PHS '65) and together we have a wonderful family.

If I have any accomplishment it's having Susan and a great family. Our daughter, Jackie, is a media director for Starcom Media Worldwide in Chicago and she and her husband have a son with another child expected in late May. Our son, Harry, is in his second year of law school at Michigan State University. In 1973 we moved with my father and brother to a small town in South Dakota where we managed a meat processing plant for ten years. In 1984 we sold the business and Susan and I moved to another South Dakota small town where we lived until this past September when we moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Sioux Falls in many ways is like Fort Worth when we grew up. While the population is about one half of what Fort Worth was, Sioux Falls is a cow town, the people are friendly, honest, hard working, church going, and interested in having a good time. Like Fort Worth we have a small river running through town with many beautiful parks. There is little traffic and little if any pollution. The weather can get interesting at times but we do have four distinct seasons. Fall and Spring are the best and we have even more days of sunshine than Fort Worth.

After leaving the meat packing business, I consulted on various agricultural and business ventures for about two years. In 1986 I founded a small business selling replacement tractor parts. After eighteen years I am still at that today. I sell nationwide, but primarily in the five state area surrounding South Dakota. A growing part of our sales are over the Internet including EBAY. It's a fun business and keeps me out of trouble. I still look forward to going to work every day.

My Passions
Since moving to South Dakota I've been involved in public affairs and as a volunteer activist for the Republican Party. I served for twelve years (two different stints) as state party chairman and have been involved with hundreds of campaigns for public office. While there have been many good days and a few not so good days in politics, I think I've made my community a little better place to live. A few personal highlights were having a private lunch with President Reagan in the cabinet room at the White House (not exactly private - there were nine other chairman there as well, although lunch lasted almost two hours), and serving as a member of the Electoral College and voting in 1996 for Bob Dole and 2000 for George W Bush. See http://www.state.sd.us/governor/ec/ Currently I have organized a Political Action Committee that works with young adults and encourages them to become candidates for office. Our focus is on legislative, city and county offices, and school boards. The PAC has given me a wonderful opportunity to work with and make friends with many young people.

My other passion is College Basketball. This started when my son became a student at Indiana University. I began following the Hoosiers and Bobby Knight and other Big 10 and Big 12 teams. On most winter nights I am at home watching games and sometimes wondering how a Texas boy cannot even bring himself to watch even one quarter of a football game. With Coach Knight now at Texas Tech I can't believe I'm rooting for the Raiders over the Frogs - but as the Beatles said, "it's a long and winding road."

I have enjoyed the website and the memories but unfortunately will not be joining you at the reunion, it would be fun however to hear from any of you. If you are so inclined, please email at jr(at)centralplains.com Joel Rosenthal

Since Paschal there has been so much. I attended TCU with what seemed like half of Paschal. There were at least 6 of us who were Chi Omegas there. While at TCU I met my husband, Henry A. Serafin II, know as Hank. We married in March of 1968 while he was attending Baylor Law School. After his graduation from Law School, we moved to Houston, where he is practicing law. He has his won firm is in the field of Real Estate and Banking Law.

In 1978 I received my Real Estate License and am still active. I did take off some time to raise two children, Allison who is 28 and being married in October of 2004. She is moving back to Houston from Philadelphia where she was a Program Director for Teach for America. She received her BA from TCU and her Master of Social Work from UT - Arlington, and then taught with Teach for America. Tony, our son is in the energy business in Houston. He is 24.

I do hope to get to Ft. Worth for the Reunion. My mother still lives on Bellaire Circle and is doing great. My dad passed away in April of 1995. Marc and his wife live in Redstone, Co. It seems as though a lot have ended up in Colorado.

My favorite thing to do in addition to selling homes in Houston is to travel. I was lucky enough to be in Berlin two weeks before Check Point Charlie came down. We also went to Prague, Vienna, all over Eastern Germany. Have also done the British Isles, and Ireland . Hank and I try to go to Las Vegas at least twice a year.

Please e-mail me if you can. I have heard a lot from Clif, and I to keep up with others thru my Mother. Have a great spring, and I look forward to June.

Graduated TCU 1968 with BS in Biology. Next was Univ of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas 1972. Internship and residency in Pathology at Parkland Hospital, Dallas. Stayed at Southwestern for 7 years on faculty in Pathology Dept as Assoc Professor: Course Director for sophomore Pathology Course and Director of Autopsy Service at Parkland. Entered private practice at Medical City Dallas Hospital, where I and 3 associates did general pathology, mainly examination of surgical specimens.

Retired 2000. Moved back to Ft Worth. Also have another house outside Telluride, CO. Spend a fair amount of time traveling.

Hobbies: photography, sailing (currently boatless, however), skiing, scuba diving, hiking. No kids.

While I was at Paschal I was impressed with the talent and diversity of the students, impressions that have been strengthened with the reports I read in the current roster of our classmates. We should be justifiably proud of our collective selves.

Also, I have 3 suggestions for anyone considering retiring to "travel to see the world":

1. Don't retire at the beginning of a prolonged bear market, eg, summer of 2000
2. If you must retain a permanent residence, make it as small as possible and divest yourself of plants and animals. Otherwise, you will never be able to leave for long.
3. Travel alone. Be especially cautious of companions who might have different ideas of what to do or who have familial ties that prevent extended travel.

Won't make the reunion...I'll be traveling.

Matt Sullivan, Artist (Currently at Columbia University, NY)

I'm sure I hold the distinction of being the happiest member of our class of '64. I've been married to a wonderful woman for 35 years, have the two greatest sons imaginable, a terrific daughter-in-law, a beautiful granddaughter, and everyone is successful and in good health. Both of my parents are still living productively, my wife Jeany has a very fulfilling job, and I've had a great career of 28 years (and counting) at Williamson-Dickie here in Fort Worth.

We live in the Berkeley addition, one mile from Paschal. I wish all of my classmates could have been so lucky. Call us Ozzie and Harriet. I was one of those kids who was neither "popular" nor a nerd - just drifting down the middle, having fun within my circle of friends, and trying to grow up before I was ready. Most of my close friendships were developed later in life.

Favorite teachers? There seems to be a consensus: Mrs. Ripper, Mrs. Lesser, Mr. Barr, Barry Sullivan (no relation), and yes, Charlie Turner. Ah, and Miss Carole Applewhite, fresh out of college, very tall and cute, and trying in vain to help me understand the mystifying world of physics. I never did get it. I was also very fond of my senior English teacher Sue Coffman, who later became the Grammar Doctor on the Internet, and who really influenced my decision to pursue English Literature. She attended our 20th reunion, and I hope to see her at this one as well.

Odds and ends - English Lit. BA from the University of Houston, four years as a Communications Technician in the US Navy, one brief job of two years and then the beginning of a rewarding career with Dickies. Lots of travel, generally domestic but occasionally overseas. I fill my time outside of work and family with computer projects (mostly related to photography and music), motorcycles (BMW R1100RT), and music - mostly guitar, keyboards, and vocals. I have a small home-recording studio for my own amusement. I enjoy volunteer work, was a Big Brother for eight years, and was recently elected to the Board of Trustees of the North Central Texas chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Wow - does it seem like forty years? It's fun to look back at the photos of those school years and remember the silly things that I thought were important at that time, and compare them to the values I hold today. Well, we were kids.

I wish you all peace and joy and good health, and I look forward to seeing old friends.

Joe Riddell was nice enough to find me and I've just sent my check. I'll send a picture and and bio in the next few days. I am really excited about this. I have always felt like Ft. Worth was my home town as we were only in Corpus Christi for a few years and then my parents moved to Houston when I was in college. I've been in New York, NY for 34 years.

Occupation: Petroleum Landman

Although I was in the class of 1964 I graduated with my brother, Bill Nunnallee, in the class of 1965. I married Bonnie Butler (class of 1967) on January 21, 1966, just 38 years ago. We have a daughter, Coby, who is married and has two (2) sons and three (3) step children. Coby, her husband, Duane, and her children live in the same subdivision as Bonnie and I so we see them all of the time.

When Bonnie and I married I worked at the GM plant in Arlington for a few months and then got a job at General Dynamics (GD) in the Traffic Department. I worked at GD throughout most of the F-111 program. After being laid off from GD in 1973, I opened an auto repair shop with another class of 1964 graduate, James "Dennis" Nelson. In 1974 Bonnie and I moved to Houston and I began my career as a Petroleum Landman and continue that profession today.

I have many fond memories of Paschal HS and my classmates of both 1964 and 1965.

Clifton Barnhart asked for a picture and a bio, so here goes:

After Paschal graduation, I attended Texas Christian University and traveled. In 1981, I finally met the love of my life, Russell Schnee. Following our Fort Worth nuptials, we settled in the Mid-Cities area, so he could be closer to his family business, Schnee-Morehead, Inc., one of Irving's oldest companies, which employs 160 people.

We enjoyed two glorious decades together before his recent passing. I also lost my mother in 1997, and my father in 2001. In 1989, I became a partner in the Tunstill Mineral Trust.

I am currently undergoing therapy for an injured back, and regret my inability to attend our 2004 Paschal reunion. But I'd love to hear from my old friends, so do write to me. Have a great reunion!

Clif asked me today, June 4th, 2004, if I had written my bio for the website so I decided I would and give up looking for pictures to include. Instead of a very bad picture of me - I hate having my picture taken, I will fill my space with a very special heartfelt message for all of you.

I am very excited about this reunion because I have not been back for any of the others and have not seen one of my classmates in all of these past 40 years! I hope every one of you have had more blessings in your lives than burdens. Ft. Worth was my home from the time I was born until I was 26 years old. After Paschal, where I was just a mediocre student, I wasn't ready for college. I got a job and after a year I decided to try Arlington State for a year. I made excellent grades in subjects I loved and horrid grades in subjects I didn't care for. I worked at various jobs in Ft. Worth until we moved to Austin when I was 26. "We" were my mom and dad and myself. My brother had already moved to Austin to go to U. T. He married and they had my parent's only grandchild and my nephew. Next, my sister moved to Austin to go to U. T. My dad's job allowed him to live almost anywhere in Texas. My parents and I moved to Austin to be with the rest of our family and I looked at it as a fantastic adventure. My brother was hired by Fulbright and Jaworski after getting his law degree and moved his wife and my parent's only grandchild to Houston. Still, my parents, sister and I were together and a lot closer to my brother's family than if we had stayed in Ft. Worth.

Besides, there was a wonderful, unexpected reason I was supposed to be in Austin. We moved here in May of '72 and within a few months I had met the love of my life, my strength, my best friend, my soulmate. It was my fate to come here so I could meet and marry him. My husband, who came to Austin to go to U. T. from Corpus Christi, and I were married in the Zilker Park Rose Garden on May 22nd, 1977.

He and I didn't have kids - we didn't want them. My sister was married for eleven years and then divorced. They never had kids. So, my parents still have the one grandchild. And he married his sweetheart in May of 1999 and they just had my parent's first great-grandchild. Her name is Madeline Elyse Irvin, born January 19, 2004. She is the apple of my eye just like my nephew, her daddy has always been. Her mother is the sweetest, lovliest Filipino girl and we all love her to pieces. The three of them live near Houston. My husband, Than, and I settled into long-term professions with different state agencies before we married. I retired after 25 years on October 31, 2000 at the age of 55. I had to wait for Than to retire after 29 years at 58. We are both completely retired and loving it.

We celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary this past May. We went to Paris for 5 days and nights for our 25th anniversary. We had been there three times before but had always had relatives with us before. Since we didn't have kids we traveled a lot during our careers and always had and still do have at least one furry, fuzzy kid, feline or canine. I work rescuing animals.

I've written mostly about family. There is a reason for that. My life has been full of blessings and a couple of curses as with most people. And, it is all about family. My blessings include having the most wonderful man for my husband, and having a great family in general. My mom and dad are still alive and healthy. Mom is 85 and Dad is 84 and I thank God for every day I have with them. They have had to be very strong and they have been. I have the greatest brother and sister-in-law, a fantastic nephew, neice by marriage and a wonderful sister.

I have had two curses in my life, too. My sister is severely mentally ill. It has been so hard. It is so tragic and so sad but it is no one's fault and our whole family helps each other deal with it. My other burden is that I have had systemic lupus erythematosis (diagnosed) since 1986 that has progressed to the verge of kidney failure. Stage IV lupus nephritis. Stage V is completely hopeless. I went throught the horrible treatment and it literally brought me back from the brink of kidney failure and it has been in remission for a little over a year and 8 months. It can come back and it can kill me or I may live to be 100! But, I rarely think about it because I am too busy living life to its fullest every day. I'm so lucky to have the most loving, supportive family and to have a husband who has been my rock and has been right by my side through all of this.

I could have told all of you more details about my life like what our hobbies are and I'm not saying that things like that are not important. I've enjoyed reading about you all. But, as I wrote this tonight I just wanted to tell everyone to live every day to the fullest and take the time - just a minute - to count your blessings. We can talk about details at the reunion. What I most wanted to say to you all now is may your blessings far outweigh your burdens. I can't wait to see every one of you! I would love to hear from any of you.

New York, NY

I hope I’m not too long winded, but a lot has happened in 40+ years. We moved to Corpus Christi in early 1962. After graduation there, I went to Duke, majored in Economics and became a life-long basketball fan. My parents moved to Houston when I was in college, so I lost touch with almost everyone. After a MBA from Harvard Business School, I move to New York, New York and have been here for 34 years.

My business world has been cable and satellite TV which I have found to be very interesting. After RCA, Westinghouse, my own start-up, consulting, I have ended up licensing interactive television patents and hanging out with the lawyers. My husband is an inventor and in a way, after being professionally independent for 25 years I joined the “family” business.

I married John Harvey in 1977, Yale ’66, and we have two wonderful daughters, Alex, now 17 and Kitty, now 23. Alex is almost a senior in high school and not looking forward to all the excitement of applying to college. I’m hoping I will be able to talk her into going to Duke. Kitty graduated from Yale in 2003 and is now in Officer Candidate School for the Navy in Pensacola, Florida and will go into Navy Intelligence with a first tour on an aircraft carrier.

We like to travel and have been all over the world including Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Hong Kong, Morocco, Croatia, Western Europe, etc., etc. Our daughter Alex is off to Bali and India this summer so I guess she has inherited our travel lust. In the last few years I only work part time and have filled up the time with church and school boards and other “good works.” I think for-profits are easier to deal with than non-profits, but that is just the way it is.

My wonderful mother is still alive and going strong and lives in Houston. The attached picture includes my girls, my husband and Mom in our living room last Christmas, my favorite time of year.

Reflections: When my dad was transferred to Corpus Christi during our sophomore year, I thought my world had come to an end. I’d come back to Ft. Worth as often as I could and always considered Ft. Worth more my home than Corpus. However, in retrospect, having to start over gave me the motivation/confidence/courage to go far away to school which led to my life her in Manhattan. While I have no doubt that there could have been other happy lives to be had, I’m happy with the one I’ve been granted. I admit that I’m very happy to have the chance to come back to visit Ft. Worth for the first time in 20 years

After the lost of a beloved wife, Diana, of thirty two years and seeking God's will in my life, a prayer was answered. I married Kasey, on 3 May 2003, this is a picture of us leaving FBC Newark, Tx. I am a deacon there and Kasey is my pastor's niece.

I retired from DFW Airport after 22 years in order to pursue other interests. I presently design and build custom printed circuits in my shop. I own a small farm in the town of Aurora, about 1/2 mile from the Aurora Spaceman burial site. I have 17 foster daughters and many of them consider me their Dad. Kasey has 3 children, the youngest which just graduated and 3 grandchildren. Thusly, we have at present some 16 or so "grandchildren".

I never finished my EE degree, for I got my "putting wife through college, first" degree. Diana received her BA in Elementary Ed and worked with special need children for the Northwest ISD. I call UT my alma mater, for my time and money went there for several years. Besides, Austin is a Mecca that one never leaves.

My interests are Amateur Radio (N5TDE), computers (naturally), electronics and applications. I once raised animals,but the fires of 1996 in Wise County, destroyed virtually all I had, so I just garden and grow hay for sale.

Hi! Like allof you I am stunned to think it has been 40 years! My, so much has happened! I graduated from Texas Tech, married a young man I met at Tech, had a beautiful daughter. Divorced, then married my current wonderful husband, Richard Shelley. Together we have 5 children - his 3, my 1 and our adopted darlin' who is 16, and 8 beautiful grandchildren!

My first husband was in the Air Force which gave us opportunities to see different parts of the country and we spent 2 yrs. on Guam. I worked briefly (4 yrs.) as the Program Director of the YWCA in Lubbock, Texas after graduating from Tech.

I have worked in administrative capacities since then. Richard and I married in 1989 and live in Oklahoma City. I work as the Secretary/Bookkeeper of our church and really love it. I also serve as Prayer Director. I look forward to seeing everyone.

I have enjoyed the website and pictures so much, but, must admit that I have to sit with my yearbook and look up all the names to try to figure out who everybody is! I don't recognize many of the faces anymore! We have all changed a great deal!

After graduating from Paschal, I earned my degree in science at TCU and headed for Houston, where I worked in research at MD Anderson Hospital. Shortly after, I met Marion Scott, a physics grad student, and we married the next year.

His career as a physicist took us to California and New Mexico. Our 2 sons, Michael and Stephen, were born in Ridgecrest, CA. In 1977, we moved to Albuquerque where we lived until 1985 except for a 2 year interval in Livermore, CA. In 1983, I returned to college and earned a secondary teaching credential at U. of New Mexico. I was able to begin teaching middle school science when we moved to Los Alamos, NM in 1985.We were in Los Alamos for 15 years. During all of this time we had a very rewarding family life and thoroughly enjoyed exploring new territory in the west and making new friends along the way.

In 2000, my husband had an opportunity to retire and since my 2 brothers and sister needed help with our aging mother, we decided to move back to Texas and chose Denton because we wanted to be in a smaller community. It has worked out well for us so far. We pursue our hobbies of bridge, astronomy, RVing, and I do some quilting, in addition to frequent trips to Irving where my mother is in assisted living.

We are glad to be able to come to the reunion and appreciate the hard work of the reunion committee, so that all of us can meet, share memories, and renew friendships.

I, like everyone else, can't believe it's been 40 years since PHS. I don't ever think I'll forget that day in our junior year when I was working in the office and a guy came down the hall and said," The President has been shot!" I was so shocked that someone would just say that, but I soon found out that it was the truth and something we would never forget. We had great teachers, but my memory is so bad that only a few, Lois Ann Smith in particular, stand out in my mind. It has taken me a while, but I finally figured out that the reason that I don't remember the teachers Susan and Clif talk about is because I took American History at Kapaa High School in Kauai, Hawaii (from a Japanese teacher!) during our junior summer, and I wasn't there! I thought I had just forgotten!!!

I graduated from Paschal at mid term and started taking classed at TCU. After a while it all seemed too familiar, so I transferred to OU and graduated with a degree in Foreign Language Education. After my practice teaching experience at a technical high school in Oklahoma City, I quickly retired from the profession and decided there had to be something better. Patty Zimmerman told me banking was fun, so I briefly worked at Fort Worth National Bank, but shortly thereafter moved to Houston where I worked for First City National Bank for over 20+ years until it failed the second time! Mrs. Lesser would have been amazed! Houston was fun and I had some great trips- even went to Paris to cooking school.

The Banking career proved to be interesting and has taken me from testifying before the Watergate Grand Jury to traveling to Hollywood to negotiate loan documents with Michael Douglas. While in Houston, I ran across several classmates from time to time. I was fortunate to call on David Ott when my husband, Grant, needed heart bypass surgery 12 years ago! We have been married 24 years and moved to Fort Worth about 5 years ago to enjoy a slower pace. Grant's consolation prize for the move was a Harley which he has enjoyed riding with some other PHS classmates. He is now on his 2nd one. He has 2 grown sons, but no grandkids.

After a brief retirement, I decided to go back to work and am with TexasBank where I work for a regional president and two directors. Although I had not planned to work this hard at this age, it is so nice to be in a positive environment as opposed to being at the point of litigation all the time. We also try to travel as often as time allows. Last year we visited friends in Haines, Alaska where I won 2 Blue Ribbons for Laura Bush's cookies in the Southeast Alaska State Fair. That's my big claim to fame!

This website that Clif created is really a treat. I think it shows what a great group of individuals our class produced.

After being chastised by Dr. Barnhart, I submit the following:

Jimmy Loveless, PHS '62 (Marilyn's brother) and I married while I was in TCU. Therefore, we are fast closing in on four decades of marriage. I taught elementary school, third and fourth grades, for eight years before having our sons. Lon, 28, is an attorney in Dallas. Miles, 26, is an investment broker in Indianapolis and married to Hollie, his classmate since the fifth grade. Throughout the past twenty years, I have done much community volunteer work, focusing on educational endeavors. This culminated in serving on the steering committee to raise $28 Million to build a new campus for our school- Trinity Valley.

Since we are third generation Horned Frogs, most recently my energy has been directed toward TCU, having served six years on the Board of Directors of the National Alumni Association. I also participated in fundraising and renovation of two campus buildings located on Worth Hills. Remember Stadium Drive being completely re-routed our senior year to build this complex?

Now, we are in the midst of restoring our almost 75 year old home in Ryan Place. We are less than a mile from the Paschal campus. On early fall mornings I can hear the band practicing, and if the wind is "right" can even hear the bells ringing between classes! What wonderful memories we all have! Jimmy and I adore keeping in close touch with our PHS classmates, and are so looking forward to seeing and visiting with everyone again!

My service has been at the City of Cleburne for twenty-five years, the last eight as Mayor. Service includes the Texas Municiple League Insurance Board, Chairman Johnson County Elected officials, and a founding father of our new college.

I hold licenses in tax, engineering, and real estate. We own our own businesses, still ranch, and work for our daughter's corporation. Mary Elizabeth graduated Trinity Valley with Honors, Tulane business with honors, and is a third year law student and editor in chief of the law review.

I had melanoma 12 years ago and we deceided to do all we could as fast as we could. We raised five students in our home, three foreign students, and sit on four scholarship foundations, including our fund. We have been blessed. Now we are in a position where we can slow down and enjoy life more. We have been independent and on our own since 1981 and are still buying real estate (just like annuals) and are having a great time in the Barnett Shale Gas Field.

Joe Riddell

Austin, Texas

My parents believed in the value of an education, and they backed it up by supporting me through my higher education. After graduation from Paschal, I headed directly to UT Austin, where I earned a BS in Physics. Seeking the tools to understand the universe on a cosmic scale, I went to graduate school in math at Caltech. I gradually realized I did not particularly have the inclination or the talent to be math professor; so I left with a master's degree and headed to law school back in Austin.

After I got my law degree (1973), my first few years as a grown-up included a variety of jobs, from solo-practicing law out of my home to doing research at the Texas Legislature to picking vegetables and painting houses on some extended travels. Having fallen in love with Barton Creek on an inter-tubing trip a week after I took the bar exam, I also did a lot of volunteer work to help keep Austin clean and green.

In the early 80's I settled down and now have a wife (Sandra, Class of '64 at Neville High, Monroe, La), a daughter (Rebecca, age 17), and a stepdaughter (Sara, 25). Rebecca is excelling in a magnet program (in liberal arts and science) at LBJ High in Austin, where the school colors are purple and white and the mascot is a jaguar!

I am about to retire after working 20 years as an Assistant Attorney General at the Texas Attorney General's Office, primarily in environmental protection and natural resources law. If you are interested in knowing more about the laws related to navigating streams in Texas, you can read about them in an overview I compiled at: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/texaswater/rivers/riddellindex.phtml

I plan to take a year off starting this July and then go back to work (somewhere) in the fall of 2005 when Rebecca enters college. My favorite fun activity is running whitewater, and I'm leading an 18-day raft and kayak trip down the Grand Canyon starting this July 20th. I also enjoy bicycle riding, being out in nature, landscaping, making gear, traveling with my family, celebrating special times, and working on an occasional cause of one kind or another. Two of my favorite sayings are "You can't do everything at the same time" and "If you want your children to follow in your footsteps, be very careful where you place your feet."

Looking back, my days at Paschal seem simple and easygoing compared to life in today's schools. I am grateful for the many good teachers and caring classmates who made learning and growing up a fun experience. I am looking forward to the reunion, and then to visits with a few old friends as I travel some during the coming year.

Here is a brief bio on me for the few people who remember me. (I entered Paschal as a Senior, and getting to know people...especially Seniors...was difficult, at best!) I only spent my Senior year at Paschal, but the memories are vivid and wonderful. I made friends with most of the people I know AFTER I graduated from Paschal. Sheila Van Y, Patty Zimmerman, Lucy Wilson, TexAnn Chance....just to name a few....became wonderful friends. We still see each other when I come in town to this day.

I left Texas in 1979 and moved to California to marry a complete nut-case who ended up, after our divorce, joining the cult headed by the Bagwan Shree Ragneesh (we called him the Bagworm, for short!!) The last I heard of him was that some "people" were looking for him..... Married again, on the rebound, only to realize that no one can MAKE you happy....you must make YOURSELF happy!

Ten years in the Mortgage Banking industry led me to get into real estate. I worked for builders in California selling new homes for 18 years, and 4 1/2 years ago I left the building industry and joined Century 21 Superstars...the largest Century 21 franchise in California. Life has been good to me in Real Estate!

After swearing off of marriage for a long time, I met my current husband in 1989 at a biker bar in San Juan Capistrano. He danced into my heart, and we have been dancing together ever since. We will be married 12 years on January 1st! I never had children, and my husband, Michael had never married before. We live on a 2-acre "ranch" (we call it a ranch in California, but in Texas they just call it a big lot!!!), and we raise quarter horses. We also have two registered Texas Longhorn steers (Billy-Bob and Bubba), 5 dogs, 3 cats, a multitude of chickens, ducks & peacocks, and whatever happens to show up on our doorstep.

Michael is a General Contractor for a large commercial developer, and he is the nicest person I have ever met in my life! I thank God for him every day. I am looking forward to seeing some friends I haven't seen for a long time, but most of all I am looking forward to seeing my dear friends with whom I still remain in contact. Paschal was a wonderful time in my life! P.S. The palomino photo is our quarter horse stallion, Hollywood Dutch, whom we stand at stud. Two weeks ago we were blessed with a palomino stud colt who will be just as pretty as his daddy!

Can it really be 40 years? !! I’d love to attend the reunion, and haven’t ruled it out all together – will have to wait on the results of a family medical procedure before I know if I’ll be able to get away.

After graduation, I attended TCU and North Texas State before beginning my career as a Customer Support Rep in the Xerox Fort Worth branch office. In 1967, I married my first husband, an AF Officer, at Carswell Air Force Base. We immediately moved to Rantoul, Il (outside of Champaign/Urbana), residing on Chanute AFB. Here I learned that I am definitely NOT a cold weather girl. My son, Hank, was born in 1969, and in 1970, he and I moved to Oahu, HI, while his father was stationed at Johnston Island. At the completion of his 1 year tour, he was assigned to Hickam AFB on Oahu. I had continued working for Xerox in Illinois until taking leave for my pregnancy, and returned to work once we were assigned to Hickam. Our divorce was finalized in 1973 when I also changed careers and went to work for IBM.

In 1976 I was promoted to Marketing Support Manager in Dallas, TX. In 1977, I married (a fellow IBMer I had known in HI), but that also ended in divorce in 1981 (after I had been diagnosed with a chronic illness, SLE, in 1979). During my 14 years in Dallas, I held a variety of management positions, with state, regional and national responsibilities. In 1990, I accepted a Program Manager job in Tampa, FL.

In 1994, after 21 years with IBM, I “retired” and became a Buyer’s Broker, finding homes in the Tampa Bay area for corporate execs and employees transferring from other locales. I fully “retired” in 1996. After two failed marriages, needless to say, I had sworn off!! But in 1993, I met Bob, a 75/767 Captain flying for UPS. We married in 1996 (I finally got it right!!) which is also when we moved into our house (that we totally remodeled) that overlooks Clearwater Bay. We both love the water, and are now enjoying our second boat (a 40’ SeaRay Sundancer), where we spend every chance we get. We’ve cruised to the Bahamas, Bimini and the Abacos, to the Florida Keys, and all up and down the east and west coasts of Florida. We both enjoy skiing (once each year in Park City, UT), scuba diving, snorkeling, crosswords, reading and playing with our “children” – our two Westies, Duffy and Brody. I love golf, but have played very little since my back surgery in 1993 – but my plan is to take some lessons this fall and get my hubby to come with me!!

My son, Hank, married in 1994 and he and his beautiful wife, Beth, now have three gorgeous children (of course, I’m NOT prejudiced). Elizabeth is 8, Hank IV is 4 and Dallas is 2. They live in Corpus Christi where Hank is a Border Patrol Agent. He just got promoted to the Canine Unit and is currently in training with his dog, Alto. My only complaint is that I don’t get to see them nearly often enough!!!

As you can see, I have been very blessed in my life. I’d love to come to the reunion – though my memory is terrible, and I’d have to be very good at reading name tags. Unfortunately, with all my traveling, I didn’t keep in touch with anyone, but have been lucky to have been contacted by several people in the last couple of years: Ray Torres, Tom Davis, Dave Neely, Twila Impson, Jan Johnson, Deidre Faudry…… If I’m not able to attend, you all have my best wishes for good health and many more happy years to enjoy with family and friends!!

After graduation from Paschal, I went off to Rice with several other people from our class, including Chip Bruce, John Watson, Bill Russel, David Nichols, Pat Hollifield, Bill Sheets, and Michelle Etier. (I've probably left someone out of this list, for which I apologize.) I graduated in 68 with a degree in Math, then headed off to Brandeis University outside Boston to get my Ph.D. However, in October, my parents called to inform me that my draft notice had arrived in the mail. I got an automatic extension to finish the semester, and in the meantime decided to go the Officer Candidate School route, partly because under something called the Delayed Entry Program I could wait another 4 months before having to enter the Army.

So at the end of April of 69, I reported to the Army receiving station in Boston. (Even though I didn't quite finish the spring semester, Brandeis went ahead and awarded me a Masters degree as a sort of consolation prize.) I was immediately shipped down to Ft. Leonard Wood, MO, (by coincidence, only 100 miles up the interstate from where I currently reside) for Basic Training. Since I had put Artillery down as my first choice of branch (naively thinking that in the Field Artillery one would be well behind the lines; I was unfamiliar with the term "Forward Observer," and the fact that artillery firebases were sometimes overrun by the Viet Cong), I was then sent to Ft. Sill, OK, for AIT (Advanced Individual Training) and Artillery OCS. After I graduated from OCS in March of 1970, I was assigned to a small group in the Artillery School (about a dozen lieutenants and a couple of captains) headed by a major.

This group gave lectures on writing and public speaking to officer candidates and officers attending the Artillery School for advanced training, and everyone but me had majored in English or Speech. (Actually, I suppose the English majors in that group would tell me that it should be, "everyone but I," but the heck with them.) I had been sent to this part of the Artillery School by the post personnel office because there was another group there that taught Operations Research (a mathematical subject), but that group turned out to be overstaffed already, so the colonel in charge put me into the Communicative Arts group. The major who headed the group, who was a really nice guy, said, when I introduced myself, that he thought that "Clayton" sounded too stuffy, so he was just going to call me "Clay." I decided that I didn't want to raise a stink about it, and, in fact, thought that maybe it would make it easier for me to pick up women (Ha!), so I started introducing myself that way from then on.

In November of that year, I was notified that I would be going to Viet Nam, but that night Nixon went on TV to announce the first troop withdrawals, so a day later I was told that my orders were canceled, but not to get too comfortable, because I'd probably get new orders soon. Sure enough, in another month or so, I got new orders for Nam. While I was making preparations to leave Ft. Sill, I took a few days leave to come back home at Christmas; while there, I got an invitation to a Christmas party at the home of our old classmate John Reynolds. At the party, John, whom I hadn't seen in several years, told me that he'd been drafted, too, but had decided not to go to OCS. However, because of his computer expertise, he had wangled an assignment to the computer center at West Point, where, even though he was nominally under the command of a captain, he was essentially running the show; he asked me whether I wanted him to see whether his captain could get me assigned to them, instead of going to Nam. I kind of off-handedly said, "Sure," even though I didn't really expect anything to come of it, then promptly forgot about it. I returned to Ft. Sill and continued my processing to leave there. Much to my surprise, I got a call at my office from someone who said, "This is Capt. So-and-so from West Point. I called the Pentagon to see about getting you transferred to West Point instead of Nam, but they told me that you weren't going there anyway, but were going to stay there at Ft. Sill for the rest of your enlistment; I presume you'd rather do that than transfer up here." Well, this was news to me, since I had never received any notification that my orders had been changed, so I called the post personnel office; they called the Pentagon, and, sure enough, the captain was right. Apparently, in a typical Army snafu, somebody had forgotten to notify Ft. Sill about the change in plans (which was apparently caused by yet another troop reduction). Since travel orders were cut locally, I wouldn't have been surprised if the error wouldn't have been caught until I had arrived in Viet Nam; and then I wouldn't have been surprised if the personnel people over there had said, "Well, you're not really supposed to be here, but as long as the Army has gone to the expense of flying you all the way over here ... ." The Pentagon people also told the Ft. Sill people that since they had now canceled my orders twice, they wouldn't put me through all that again, and that I could just stay there at Ft. Sill, which was fine with me, since I had not exactly been itching to go to Nam in the first place. Shortly after that, I was shifted to another group in the Artillery School, this time one that taught data processing, which made a little more sense in light of my background.

I was finally discharged at the beginning of Dec., 1971 (a bit ahead of schedule, again because of a "reduction in force.") It was too late in the academic year to go back to grad school, so I moved back in with my parents temporarily. The only job I could find was one teaching data processing courses at Brantley-Draughon College, a business school that was located at the time near the corner of Henderson and the freeway; the job didn't pay very much (for one thing I was only working 30 hours a week), but I figured it was a way of killing time until the fall semester; it also didn't escape my notice that the enrollment at this place was at least 80% female. In fact, the best thing about the job was that I met my future bride, Donna, there. (Hm'm, maybe there was something to my "Clay versus Clayton" strategy after all).

Because of her, and because I had suffered from severe culture shock in Boston (at the time there were only 2 Mexican restaurants listed in the entire Boston area yellow pages - I tried one, but the food was floating in so much grease that I couldn't finish it - the cold weather also turned me off), I decided to go back to Rice for my Ph.D., rather than return to Brandeis. So I returned to Houston in the fall of 72; then in June of the next year, Donna and I were married. (Amazingly enough, as will be apparent to anyone who sees her at the reunion, Donna was only 4 years old at the time!) The professor that I had chosen as my thesis advisor took off on leave for the spring and fall semesters of 73, which kind of left me at loose ends; then, to make things even more complicated, while he was gone he got into a snit because of some departmental politics, and decided not to come back to Rice, but instead to take an offer from the University of Illinois (which, believe it or not, is more highly rated in mathematics than Rice is (partly because the department at Rice is comparatively small)). He arranged things so that I could have a graduate assistantship there, while maintaining my enrollment at Rice.

So Donna and I (and dog) moved to Urbana, while I did the research for my dissertation. Then after only a year and a half, my advisor got bored with life there amidst the cornfields of central Illinois, and took an offer from the University of Utah (he liked to ski), another highly regarded graduate program in math. Once again, Donna and I (and dog) packed up, and followed him to Salt Lake City. Finally, 9 months later, in June of 76, I received my Ph.D. from Rice (even though I hadn't set foot in Houston in 2.5 years), which was just in time, since Donna was pregnant with our daughter, Cindy, by then.

After considering several options, I accepted an offer at New Mexico State University, in Las Cruces. In the fall of 1980, a friend of mine at Cornell (we had shared the same advisor at Rice) took a two-year position as a Distinguished Visitor at Texas Tech; as one of the perks, he got to bring along a junior colleague, which turned out to be me. So we rented out our house for two years and moved to Lubbock. We then returned to Las Cruces for two years.

By this time, I was due for a sabbatical, so we took off again; I spent the fall semester at Texas A&M, and the spring and early summer at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ, where I renewed acquaintances with my old Paschal and Rice classmate Bill Russel . (Since Bill has so far modestly refrained from tooting his own horn on this website, I will do a little tooting for him: Bill was a professor in the Chemical Engineering Dept. of Princeton University at the time; he later became Chair of that department, and is currently Dean of Graduate Studies - way to go, Bill!)

After returning to New Mexico State, I became increasingly annoyed with the financial situation there, so in the fall of 87, accepted a position at Southwest Missouri State in Springfield, where I have been ever since. In addition to teaching, I have had a modestly successful research career over the years, with frequent support from the National Science Foundation. (For the dozens of readers who will no doubt be interested in perusing my publication list in the mathematical area of Algebraic K-Theory, my email address is above.)

When I'm not busy taking care of the 10 million things that always seem to need doing around our house and 2-acre yard full of vegetation requiring incessant attention, I enjoy travel, reading, and playing basketball. Since the latter will probably come as a surprise to the few people who remember me, I will expand on it a bit:

Beginning in the third grade, I lived across the street from Charlie Turner. (I can still see him now, standing, as he did on most spring and summer evenings, in his undershirt watering his lawn by hand.) He helped my father erect a basketball goal over the garage when I was in the fifth grade, but when it became clear after a couple of years that I was never going to be more than average height or particularly well-coordinated, he kind of lost interest in my future athletic development. However, I will be eternally grateful to him for getting me started on a path which has been a source of so much enjoyment over the years, not to mention exercise: without basketball, I would probably weigh 400 pounds by now.. Every day when the weather was suitable, I would spend at least an hour shooting baskets, using second-hand basketballs that Coach Turner would provide periodically from those that he had retired from service at Paschal. With all this practice, I became a fairly proficient shot from outside, since this is a skill that even a person of modest athletic endowment can acquire with enough practice. (I only wish I had devoted some of that time to developing some other basketball skills!

One evening at Ft. Sill, when I was relaxing at one of the gyms on post by shooting by myself, a guy introduced himself and said that he was the coach of the post team; he said he'd been watching me shoot, and wanted to know whether I'd be interested in trying out for the team; I politely declined, explaining that that was really the only skill that I had.) I didn't really get into playing basketball (as opposed to shooting baskets) until I got into the Army. (In college, I had, instead, gotten into Tae Kwon Do, studying in the summers in Ft. Worth with Pat Burleson (a former national karate champion who, a few years later, achieved some local noteriety by serving as Priscilla Davis's bodyguard after the shootings at the Cullen Davis mansion), and during the school year with a classmate who, as a black belt, founded a Karate Club at Rice; I eventually worked my way up to 2nd degree brown belt before heading off to grad school.)

Almost everywhere I've been, starting with the Army, I've found a group of faculty/staff./students who would get together a couple of times a week to play (the primary exception being the Institute for Advanced Study - too many eggheads!) In addition to my shooting touch, I possess a 3-inch vertical jump and can run baseline to baseline in 10 seconds or so (on a good day, on the high school court on campus where we usually play). I'll tell you, there's nothing like chasing some kid 37 years your junior up and down a basketball court to give you a workout! (In case anyone's wondering, I am the second-oldest guy in our group, the only older player being a 6'4", 59-year-old archaeologist whose excavations in the Arabian desert were featured on an episode of Nova a few years ago.)

Well, I think that's more information than anyone was expecting (or desiring), so I'll knock off. After all, I only have two weeks to lose 15 pounds and to grow hair to cover the enormous bald spot on top of my head!

What special people come from Paschal and what a special place it is. All the bios reflected the intense feelings we had and have for Paschal. They made me cry. Those were great years. You know, we were a very kind, good-to-each other class. Why? Who knows, but we weathered lots of changes- the change from Mr. Wyatt to Mr. Berry, Kennedy's passing, Cold War scares, and then we became the class of '68 in college with the huge political upheavals, Vietnam War, Martin Luther King's and Bobby Kennedy's assassinations, marches for Civil Rights and anti-war during that year,and on and on. It is certainly an understatement to say that those were intense years. But, Paschal prepared us well and what great memories.

Favorite teachers and classes? The most fun was, without a doubt, the annual staff. We really had fun. Ricky Rapfogel and I did the events section. I can't remember who took pictures- Ricky or Barbara Blakistone or Chip Bruce or Paul Debenport? Poor Miss Zelma Rhodes, faculty editor, had to put a lid on the dirty captions that did NOT get in the annual. To quote her:" I will never forget the funny things that happened. How have we survived it all? Good luck and all that sort of thing. At least you didn't get me fired. Zelma W. Rhodes, alias THE DRAGON" ( I choose to consider the "you" as all-inclusive of the annual staff). The hardest thing? Writing with Ricky the page about the assassination of JFK because everyone had their own memory of that day and the page had to reflect everyone's memory.

Favorite teachers were, also, of course, Dr. Barr, Lois Smith, and Miss Ruth Mitchell, the music teacher. The choirs were a lot of fun. She was very patient with us. It was very, very sad to see the passing of classmates. Diane Conrad was one of the most cheerful,kind, gracious persons I've ever known. Pat Holeifield is one of the bravest, David Leatherbury such a sad loss of talent. I remember Miss Lois Smith singling out his senior research paper on Walt Disney for creativity and good writing.

Rest of the story? I headed off to Baylor, met Robert ( Bob) Fink, were friends for four years. He went off to Vietnam and we wrote and fell in love (although I had been for four years already). We had a total of about four dates, so we have spent 33 years getting to know each other. He teaches English and is Director of Writing Workshop at Hardin Simmons Univ. in Abilene, and I am an elementary school counselor. We had twin sons, born two months premature in '75. The going was tough for awhile with their health, but they are twenty-nineand in good health. One is married with a PhD in History and raising with his wife two adorable children. The other is teaching Creative Writing at Emory and unmarried.

We've had many travels in the summer, but mostly to Colorado, universities, for writing research, and Andover prep school in Massachusetts where Bob taught two summers. I'm looking forward to the reunion and seeing everyone. We're trying to make it on Saturday. Clifton, thanks for the excellent web page!

Just made my flight arrangements and am sending in the reservations - Can’t wait,

Kudos to Fellow Panthers! I was thrilled to hear from Joyce Ann (Walsh) Burgett recently with additional news of the Reunion. As other Roster participants have indicated, “Hard to Believe!!!” Of course, same was true in celebrating my most recent Birthday (did I say celebrating?).

After graduating, I attended St. Mary’s College in Omaha, NE… (from the halls of Paschal to the halls and dorms of a Catholic girls’ school – go figure!) Very quickly chose to major in Speech. Reasoning for the choice - quite simple…lose the accent! Soon after leaving Omaha, moved to Boston – I had visited my brother, Mike (class of ’67) and decided to relo. My sister, Betsey (class of ’72) visited me and subsequently stayed. Loved the time in New England – Married, divorced, with no regrets as I have a wonderful stepson, Curt, and 2 great sons, Matt and Brad.

From Boston onto Winston-Salem, NC, where I lived and played on a golf course, and in order to do both, managed an executive search (head-hunting) firm. The Carolinas, of course, were beautiful and especially turned out to be a great place to bring up my sons; however, once they left for college in New England, I returned to Ft. Worth/Dallas to assist in caring for my father, who was in the final stages of bone cancer. Lived in Dallas, stayed in the employment industry, however went into the IT end as a Technical Recruiter. After Dad’s death, stayed on another 5 years until my company transferred me to Denver (also, after successfully talking my mother into the move).

Can’t say enough about the joys of living in Colorado - After New England, even the winters are delightful and obviously after TX, the summers are perfect! Though the real motivation for the move was family: a sister, Kelly, (class of ’77), brother, Bill, (class of ’69) along with their spouses and children and my son, Brad. (Working on the other 2 boys to get them here, but it’s okay as it’s a great excuse to go back to New England.) Having mentioned the kids, must add that the adopted love of my life, an Australian cattle dog mix, is downright euphoric about the herding challenges in the mountains.

I arrived in Colorado just in time to register to vote for my brother, Bill, in his run for Governor. Glad to say that it was successful and the pride I feel in seeing firsthand the great job he is doing has been an enriching experience. Fortunately, Mom was also able to relish in the role of The First Mother of CO for several years. Sorrowfully, we lost her this past July to a stroke and she is dearly missed.

Other than business trips, I have not been back to TX, so am very much looking forward to seeing all of you in a few weeks!!!

Best Regards, Mary K. Lowe

PS – GREAT JOB ON THE WEBSITE!!!

Hello Everyone: I wasn't going to write but when my schedule wouldn't allow me to make the reunion. I decided to write to those that were expecting me for an update ... I'm semi-retired & looking for something to do.

After Paschal and military service, I went on to get a BA from St. Martin's College in Olympia, WA and a MA in Urban Affairs from UTA ... Spend some time in Washington DC working for the Feds. After that, through the years, I did traveling to Canada, Europe, Australia, Asia and the Caribbean. Eventually, came back to Fort Worth and entered the City Management profession. Started my government career in Weatherford, White Settlement, Springtown and Keller as City Manager. Then I was Executive Director of the South Wise County Chamber of Commerce for a couple of years. After 25 years of public service I decided to hang it up. Then for a couple years I did marketing in the private sector, while I decided what I wanted to do when I grew up. I'm still a kid at heart and looking for something to do.

Presently, I formed a company with a partner called Eagles International which specializes in Domestic and International Business Trade, i.e., our company specializes in international business trading from Korea, Mexico and India and expanding to other counties ... Also, I am associated with Advanced Aerobics Programmer, which builds electrical panels for septic systems ... While our domestic business is good, were planning a joint project for a public works infra-structure program with the government of Mexico to bring drinkable water and treated wastewater to isolated areas. In addition, I do consulting involving both domestic and international banking interests, retail bulk internet sales market providers and do municipal consulting. And my favorite project is that I'm looking for a distributor for an agave distillery in Mexico that is looking for outlet here in the states. As I mentioned, I don't have enough to keep me busy.

Enough of me, let me hear from those "ole" lost friends. Sorry, I won't be able to attend the reunion. I miss the good times at PHS. Hope to see everyone at the 50th Reunion. Best wishes to Tom Hazlewood, Nick Rogers, Rick Cooper, Terri Turner Hollis who I had contact with over the years and Mike Rokey (Who I found thru the Lost Panthers site) and others. Wish I could be there. Best regards,

Random Notes
I keep a picture of my dad and me on the mantle. I'm four years old and my father carries a clipboard in one hand and holds onto me with the other. We're walking across Farrington Field where the Panthers are about to face off against North Side. Curiously, I still vividly remember the moment the photographer snapped the picture. For me, Paschal has always been The High School. I suppose that's true because, from right after WWII until he was called back into the military toward the end of the Korean War, my father coached football and golf at Paschal. All the trips to Farrington Field as a four and five year old; the nights at Charlie Turner's house, they all stuck in my mind, even when we lived in, say, Japan. I lusted after Coach Turner's daughter, Judy, for years. So in 1960, when my dad suffered a major coronary on the way to Vietnam, we ended up back home in Fort Worth, which meant that Paschal was no longer something to look back on but rather something to look forward to experiencing. All four of my siblings attended Paschal and, from the day the plans for this reunion were announced, my brother, Dusty, has been hawking me to make sure I show up. I am. Got a plane reservation and everything.

BIO:
A year after graduation from Paschal, David Leatherbury and I worked for the city of Fort Worth "weed-whipping", which is a euphemism for working in the thick heat chopping weeds for a less than minimum wage. The grass-burns, chigger-bites and borderline heat stroke were on the house. Our supervisor, Del, disliked David a little and me a lot. Whenever he tried to encourage us to work harder, I would simply stare him down, letting my mouth drop partially open, using a technique I developed in Grada Stedman's English class and honed to a fine science in Carole Applewhite's physics class. The results were as predictable as my physics grade. Del went nuts, stuttering, and then shouting incoherently. Through our laughter, we kept a sharp eye on the weed whip in Del's hand, just in case he went postal on us.

The only truly enjoyable moments were spent in the truck with David, talking about what our futures might hold. I had a chance to play football at San Jose State University in California but was decidedly neutral on the matter. That whole summer it was touch and go whether I would leave. I was mostly interested in San Jose because Playboy Magazine had recently named it the number one party school in America. In late August, I left Texas for California; while I thought it would be a three or four year vacation, I have only returned to Texas occasionally since then. Not so long after that, David left Texas as well.

When I wasn't adding to San Jose's reputation as the number one party school, I played running back and flanker on the football team. More important than sports and fun, though, in the turmoil of the late sixties, I actually managed to get semi-educated.

Upon graduation, I spent almost a year working on a novel and a book full of poetry. Then something dawned on me. I liked money. I wanted money. I needed money. And I wasn't going to get it working out of the back bedroom of an apartment in Haight-Ashbury. I immediately accepted a job as cub reporter for the Oakland Tribune. Somehow, journalism didn't quite appeal so I went to work as an advertising copywriter. On the side, I started a waterbed business with my brother, Dusty, and Pete Gibbs, brother of Robin. The waterbed craze died out faster than I could ship beds to Fort Worth. I think Dusty spent years trying to give beds away. On the other hand, I proved good at making up lies about products and then convincing other people the lies were true (I suppose politics might have been another option). I ended up becoming Creative Director at Foote, Cone and Belding Advertising in San Francisco.

In 1988, I called it quits on advertising agency life. I became a commercial television director. I have been fortunate in that I have gotten to travel all over the world filming commercials for every kind of company and product from AT&T to Nike, from Ford to Baked Lays to Coke to Viagra…blah, blah, blah…

I have also directed the television series Once and Again. Recently, after four years filming and editing, I completed a documentary feature film called "Borrowing Time". It will be entered in film festivals this year and next year it will be coming to theatres across America.

Along the way, I married and got divorced. I have two children; Jeffrey, who is a singer/songwriter about to finish his first CD and Whitney, who I thought was going to graduate school in New York this fall but instead has opted to stay in San Diego and enjoy the beach life and the surfer boys that come with it.

For most of my life, I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area; specifically the city itself or Mill Valley and Tiburon, which are both just over the Golden Gate Bridge. In 1996, tired of commuting to Los Angeles, I moved south (Left Tiburon for L.A.? What a moron.). I currently live in the Hollywood Hills with Trish O'Keefe, my fiancé. We spend most of the summer in Olympia, Washington at Trish's beach house. I wanted to let Paula Black know that Trish used to teach art at the Woodinville High School where Paula now lives.

I have never forgotten the faces and people I came of age with at Paschal. It is with great anticipation that I look forward to seeing you again. It is also with much sadness that I remember those of us, like David, who have passed on. Perhaps because I have been gone so long, in my memory, they all remain great and good eighteen-year-old boys and girls with all of life spreading ahead. In my mirror, on the other hand, I have somehow turned into a pudgier, balding version of the boy I once was. Sometimes you can't believe it all happened so fast, can you? Then again, maybe the point is to just keep it happening and keep moving ahead. Life is good. And I pray it's good for you as well.

It's fun to brag that not only our high school, not only the alumni, BUT also our own class has its own web site. I guess we were 'kinda special'.

No digital picture today. The last "dressed up picture" would turn a basilisk to stone. (I'm currently what Dr. Gerald Osborne at UH's course in career counseling would call an "OMU"--old, mean, and ugly.) (It comes from 15 years of eating sack lunches and "band candy" at school and trying to keep a straight face when dealing with a roomful of comedians. )

In 1978 married Patrick Forristal. Pat is now network administrator for St. Thomas Episcopal School in Houston. We have two sons (one 21 and one 13). That means, while most of you are retiring, I'm still trying to get John through school and Eagle Scouts. I'm even going to Hale Scout Reservation this summer with Troop 125. (Visualize an over-stuffed olive climbing a steep mountain trail.).

We live in Bellaire, TX, near the Galleria and are remodeling. Dad died in 1978 and Mom died in 1997. I'm still going through "stuff"--family pictures, books, genealogical records to condense it.

I graduated from Trinity University in 1968 with a degree in painting and secondary education. From 1969 -1977 I worked in local television, first for KUHT (PBS affiliate) and then for KTRK-TV (ABC Affiliate) in Houston as a Production Assistant and then Public Service Director. It was during this time that KTRK finally 'broke' the 'color' and 'gender' barrier (women as cinematographers, camera operators, and sales) (people of other ethnicities in more than token positions). I like to think I helped. (Yes, I worked with MAAR-VIN ZINDLER, Eye-witness News during the time the station "busted" the Chicken Ranch.)

1977- 1988 - I next worked for the City of Houston Office of Public Transportation and the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO) as media or audio visual specialist and then associate producer of METRO Monthly TV magazine. I wrote a newsletter for public officials, took photos, wrote and produced slide shows, helped open the ContraFlow lane (before Transitways) without any accidents with only two weeks' notice! (Yes, they let me play in traffic.) Our group won two Silver Anvil Awards from the Public Relations Society of America in one year (a big deal) for turning public opinion around .

From 1988-present I've been teaching "English Language Arts" at Cullen Middle School (HISD), a school considered "inner city". To update my certification, I've taken courses at U. of H., St. Thomas University, and Rice University's summer Pre-AP workshops. I've taught Greek mythology and diagramming and literary terminology to "wanna be rappers" in 6th and 7th grades. (Shades of McLean Jr. High's Martha Melton and Mrs. Deardorff!) I've got about five more years until retirement, with any luck.

Occupation: retired teacher

Schools: After graduation I attended Arlington State College--majored in German, minored in French. My Senior Year (67-68) spent in Germany and the University of Vienna..Easter vacation in Prague during the Prague Spring when Dubcek was in power and tried to restore freedoms...a month after I arrived back home, the Russians invaded Czechoslovakia. That year was insane, but exciting: student demonstrations in Paris, assassinations of M.L.King, Jr, and Bobby Kennedy, the Musical Hair (in German in Vienna), Beatles' music style changed with Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Vienna was intriguing to say the least. Returned home from Europe to find that A.S.C. changed from the A&M college system to the U.T. college system as U.T.A; graduated Jan. '69 and started teaching high school; went back the summer of '70 and studied French in Neuchatel, Switzerland.

Taught high school German and French at Baytown Sterling H.S. until '77, then at Stratford H.S. in Spring Branch with Jan Logan who was Sophomore Reporter our senior year. Both schools went to the state finals in football in the '70's. I had fun announcing the bands during half-time at both schools, often in the Astrodome. My hobby then was acting in community theater productions. Continued my teaching career in a couple of other schools in Harris County, Brazoria County. Bought a Perry townhouse in Midtown and taught ESL for several years. My hobby during the mid/late '90's were teaching advanced step aerobics and group fitness classes, becoming instructor of the year in 1999 at Bally's W. University which served the Rice University area.Injured knee in 2001 and "retired" from teaching aerobics.

Now my hobby is, though I am really a very non-techie person, is playing around with various Linux Operating Systems on my desktop and laptop computers at home (Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE and a couple of Debian distributions, all multibooting with WinXP on the desktop as well. No viruses, antivirus software needed, no trojans....really secure and private. My favorite city to visit every summer is Montreal where I can take my "cheap European vacation" and speak French..along with a couple of days in Quebec City. Have many friends in Houston to speak German with. Houston Midtown/Downtown have become fabulous, especially with the new MetroRail just 5 blocks from my home to go to Reliant Stadium, Angelika Theater, downtown shopping (miles of underground shops), Museum district, Theater District, Medical Center, etc....

I see that Rob Johnson has a lot of experience with Real Estate in the inner city here, and that Ben Tobor's office on Louisiana is only about a 4 minute drive from where I live.

Ah, memories: McLean with Mrs. Melton and Mrs. Deardorff, in whose class I sat behind Carolann Earl and drew a big Z (for Zorro) on the back of her sailor collar. It was the only time I was ever sent to the office for discipline. (From her picture here you can tell that she became a beautiful, elegant lady). Sad to learn of Peyton Bickford's death, who was a friend in the Texas Boys Choir in 6th and 7th grades...and of Ginger Jones, whom I "dated" in fifth grade at Alice Carlson, then found out we were fifth cousins. Working after school at Casa Manana changing scenery during the winter of plays and making friendships with such movie stars as Martha Raye, Sal Mineo, and Laraine Day. Enjoying and admiring Jim Palmer's wit and dry sense of humour, which always fascinated and humored me. Slyly "comparing answers" on German tests in the back row with Glenna Schroeder's. David Sankary and I sitting on the last row in typing class at the electric typewriters (wow!) and going to that class early from lunch to hear KILT on the loudspeakers that our President had been shot; then attending Mrs. Thompson's English class, who touchingly held the class together before being dismissed to go home. Lou Levy's explanations to me in physics class when I was getting lost. Chatting with Trudi Lipshitz who sat behind me in Millie Rosenstein's study hall (who seemed to wear the same clothes every day) and grumpily telling me to be quiet. The love and warmth of Rita Marie Thompson for both Sophomore and Senior English. In the late 60's and early seventies I went back and visited her class a couple of times; she was then Student Council sponsor. It was she and Mrs. Dierdorff who inspired me to later become a teacher.

Many years later as a F.L. teacher I got to know Annette Wiley at Foreign Language events in the state while she was Foreign Language Coordinator for F.W.I.S.D. (I started French in college). And our all-night celebration at Six Flags with my date Karen Imber...returning to her house at 6:00 am and sitting on her front lawn another hour watching the sun rise. I loved the talent shows: especially when Penny Locke did her comedy routine about peanut butter sticking to the roof of her mouth. I wish Stan Bigelow had left his e-mail in Geneva. (I took piano lessons from his father for a year. Stan's kind and gently personality came from his father, for sure!)

I loved coming to Paschal where I felt a sense of security and warmth and the self-confidence of my fellow classmates...not one of whom was ever snobbish, cliquish or insincere, no matter how popular he/she was. It was a great three years which I have always cherished. I'm sorry I won't be able to make the reunion, but hope to hear from a few of you in the not so distant future. Cheers!

I didn't know that I was lost, but after our last move many of our friends think that we have lost our minds. After living for twenty-five years in Arlington, my husband Dennis retired from Vought Aerospace and wanted to leave the "metro-mess". So, we bought a 1936 home in Mineola, TX, which we renovated. After nine years in Mineola, small town life became too hectic, so last year we purchased five acres on Lake Fork in Wood County, built a new house and I became a "country girl." All this time I continued to teach, but this spring I finally retired. I'm not sure what I plan to do now that I have finally finished going to school, but I do know that four grandsons, ages three to eleven, will probably keep me pretty busy. They and their parents live in Frisco and Celina, which is only about an hour and a half drive from where we live now.

I'm sorry that I didn't get the information about the reunion in time to make arrangements to attend.Dennis and I will be celebrating our 36th anniversary. Tell everyone "howdy" from East Texas, and please let me know how I can get a copy of the class directory when you get it together.
