A funny incident: my granddaughter plays flute in a middle school band here. (Will be in 9th gr. this year.) Back in late October, the middle schools played with the high school at a ball game. They struck up their fight song and when I started singing along, "Go ye

I am planning to attend the reunion but still trying to convince David, my partner, to go with me. I plan to attend just Friday as my grandson's 8th birthday is Saturday. What we give up for kid's and grand babies. :-) But, I would not have it any other way. In fact, I spent today with my granddaughter, Avery. She turned 7 today and we had lunch and spent 3 hours shopping for birthday clothes which she loved. Then, you have to add in merchandise for Addy(5) and Alysse (7 months) who also attended the shopping spree also.My four grand babies keep Paw Paw broke.
Thanks, also, to you and
(I know all about being broke with having my granddaughters this summer!)

I'm hoping to be able to attend the 50th
reunion since I can't make this one. I will be going to
Retirement is going very well, but I got another reminder to enjoy life when you can. I thought I was healthy but 2 months ago started having heart problems whenever I was exerting myself running or biking. That was diagnosed as atrial flutter due to a congenital defect that took 62 years to show up! The fix was a pretty simple ablatement procedure and it's working fine now (except for getting old).
Thanks for all you and
(Enjoy your Alaskan vacation.You deserve it.But, we'll miss you.See you in FIVE years.) billh812@gmail.com

I will be at the Friday, Aug. 2 mixer by myself. I married a '62 Nederland Bulldogette but she will be visiting some PNG friends where we will stay that night. We will return to Azle Saturday the 3rd.
I taught Bio. I and II from Sept. '66 to May '69, became the Director of Student Activities in Sept. '69 and replaced Charles McBee as Principal of TJ in Sept. '74 where I enjoyed the Yellow Jacket pride and spirit until May '86. I moved to the principal's job at Azle H.S., west of

Thanks to Skippy Cole

The committee had an extra long meeting this week making decisions, delegating assignments to members, last minute changes, and trying to make an approximation of attendees

My mother is in the hospital with an infection and some cardiac issues.My mother-in-law is in the hospital across the hall with an infection.

Well, Carrie has been in a total of 5 different hospitals since her stroke on February 28th. She has yet to go home. It is the hardest thing for me to understand on how the medical industry has changed.
Just when you think she is finally getting the therapy that she needs she spiked a fever and it was because the previous hospital left a lead line in her arm and once they removed it and tested-they found it was infected. So, the therapy was put on hold. Today, June 21st, they moved her back to the previous rehabilitation hospital that did nothing for her but put her in a chair when we would ask them.
We all want her to get the treatment she needs and deserves, yet I don't know if that will ever happen. I am saddened by the whole set of circumstances and she deserves so much more.
Please say a prayer for Carrie and her family.
