Wow, Marian We're praying for you guys. What an ordeal! There's nothing worse than watching our little ones go through that kind of thing. Hang in there Grandma!

Thanks for your concern Tommy and please give Aunt Delores, Ronnie and Charlotte my love!  We took Baby Sophie home yesterday from Texas Childrens.  She is still healing from surgeries but so far, so good!

Thanks Susan for your thoughtfulness.  Our sweet pea, Sophie Elizabeth, is one tough baby girl having had three surgeries in first 18 days of her life.  She is 6 wks old now and just had second cast placement  on her club foot up to her hip.  She will have weekly cast changes as her foot and leg grow for 6 wks to 3 mos. to try to avoid surgery later on.  We are so pleased she is is in such good condition overall.  My facebook page is full of her pictures and videos if you care to take a look.  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my friends and classmates!

I was nerer missing, just nerer wanted to be found until now. After 3 heart attacks and other medical issues, i' just about used up my 9 lives and my guardian angel is tired and ready to retire. My life has been one adventure after another. I'm tired,too. I have one last final adventure and looking forward to it.

Susan Stokes Simmons

Glad things are somewhat better for you George. 

On another note, Linda Sweeney lost her sister Beverly (class of 1967) yesterday 12-17-11.  She had a stroke a while back and has been in a nursing home in Jasper, Texas.  Linda has been back and forth to be with her. Please keep Linda's family in your thoughts & prayers.

George Dent Shepherd

I have read the list of our departed classmates. So many, so young. It saddens my heart to have lost so many friends. May God hold them close.

Leah Rene Chauvin

George, I hope that you can add another adventure into your schedule.  You need to attend our next reunion.  We have, as a group, become outrageous, adventurous and fun.  We had a rousing good time at our 40th reunion in 2008 and our pre-60th birthday party in 2009.   We are glad that you joined us.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

It seems that our site has lost some of its interest but none the less it is still here and so are we. Thank you Darby for keeping it going.

I pray that everyone has a great time over the next few days of celebration and time with your families. Also, I pray for good health for all in the new year.

A big hello to all.  Hope you had a blessed Christmas.  December has been really cold and snowy here in Colorado--I'm still chopping ice off the driveway from last week's snow.   I guess that's a small price to pay the for the beautiful white Christmas!   Here's best wishes for a wonderful 2012. 

Jasper Michael Darby

I do my best George,I guess everyone has been busy shopping,but as you know I have had my hands full keeping all the Women striaght,(mostly Wanda and Debbie),but I have to keep my eye on a few others also.   Bev,you can close the door to the north pole now,We almost had a freeze last week. You can send it all back to Diz  He is snowed in anyway so he wont even notice a little extra!!

George Dent Shepherd

I wish everyone the happiest and prosperous New Year. The deep woods of East Texas is the perfect place for me to spend my days. Happy New Year, y'all !!!

Sharon Sue Brannon Zeringue

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, and a request for prayers for Francis,  he has been diagonised with B cell lymphoma again (4th time) and this time it is in his right maxillary sinus.  Waiting on word from MDA as to when and what the treatments will be. 

George Dent Shepherd

Spent Nov. and Dec.,I've been in the hospital 4 times-my 3rd heart attack,conjustive heart failure,shortness of breath,dehydration caused by to many pee pills which brought about diabetes. Today is the start of a New Year and I feel better than I have in the last 2 months. I was about ready to give up,but I feel a lot better, hope this is a good omen. God has watched over me and given me another chance at life and I am very grateful.

Susan Stokes Simmons

My family and I had a great holiday with all the kids and grandkids.   Our house was filled with much noise and laughter on Christmas.  Loved every minute of it.  Hope everyone had a great holiday season.  Sorry to hear about your husband Sharon.  George S. glad you are on the mend.  Beverly I agree with Darby, you and Diz close that door at the North Pole. I'm a warm weather person.  Hope everyone has a prosperous 2012.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Sharon, Carolyn and I will be in prayer for Francis. I can only imagine what it is like to hear that the cancer is back!

DIZ....close that door! We are going to get cooler tomorrow and I am not ready for that.

Darby, I hope the girls, especially Wanda and Debby are not so hard on you this year. Give your Carolyn our best from Mesquite!

Hello Classmates...So glad everyone has had a great Christmas and hopefully a good start to 2012.  Happy New Year All!!! 

First our sympathies to Linda, the loss of Beverly is a great loss to all of us. 

Good to hear from George Shepard and we hope you contiunue to feel good and continue to heal...God willing we will see you at our next Class get together.

Wishing Frances painless treatments and a speedy recovery.  You know, Sharon, and any of our Classmates who need us, we are here for you.  We are all just a phone call or post away. 

I started the New Year with a very nasty flu that settled in my back.  Spent the whole New Years holiday on a heating pad..had to bring the darned thing with me to work today.   My husband came through with a great New Years dinner.

There are plans to meet real soon to plan the next Big Event for our Class, so stay tuned for the date and time.

I wish for all of you a blessed New Year with a chance to work on that Bucket List or Whatever makes you Happy!

Take care All!

I finally found my grade school photos from the first and fourth grades at Danforth Elementary School.  First grade for me was 1955-56 and fourth grade was 1958-59.  I need help in identifying the students in the photos.  If any of you attended Danforth during the years 1955 through 1961, you might know some of these students.  Any help will be appreciated.

George Dent Shepherd

I went to Danforth. So did Jaquita Carden, Sharon Clepper, Jimmy Spence, Boyd Gill. If I think of any more, I'll let you know.

I attended the premiere opening of the new TCHS....there has been a lot of talk about whether it was a good investment or not. I did enjoy the tour and was a little jealous that these new kids who have NO IDEA who some of the people certain areas are named after....are enjoying the fruits of labor from some of our great teachers from the past.

They even have the Stingaree emblem on every single desk in every single classroom...they auditorium is smaller but the grand hall is huge and 2 stories high.  I don't envy the kids the stairs they have to climb and it's a maze getting around thru the hallways....geez!  If I get the time, I will post a few photos of the ribbon cutting ceremony and some of the highlights of the new school and try to point out what/where they are.  A committee member(?) told me the A-D wings of the old school will be torn down and a 2 story structure will be put up to accommodate the kids coming over when the school converts to Blocker.  I did see Linda M. Land's husband there and he spoke during the ceremony.  Thanks for your input Mike.  Hope the new year started out better for you than for me....enough said. 

Leah Rene Chauvin

There is a Blocker Demons Alumni on Facebook now.  It has over 500+ members.  Anyone who attended Blocker Junior High is encouraged to join.  Where are the warm bodies that used to chit-chat on this site?  Are you all hibernating?

Jasper Michael Darby

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to all of our Jan. classmates, and to My Good Friend Bab's,because I know She always feels down in the Dump in Jan. because Her Cowboy's are in Dallas (AGAIN). Happy Birthday Bab's and remember I always tell you how nice and sweet you always were.

Leah Rene Chauvin

Thank you, Diz, for being selfish enough to keep all the snow and cold weather up your way.  We, here down in the south, could use a tad more rain.  Got any extra?  Send it here.
