Hey Curtis,
I understand exactly what you are saying. My reference to Elvis being a 'king' was only what he was known for....the King of Rock and Roll. Nothing more.
You know... I liked Elvis' music and my grandmother had all of his albums, but that doesn't negate the fact the he was a cheating husband, a liar, a drug addict, and used his influence (and money) to corrupt doctors into fueling his habits. There ar…

Where Were You August 16, 1977?...
If you're old enough to remember the tragic shooting of our beloved president, John F. Kennedy, you most likely remember, exactly where you were and what you were doing when you received the devastating news of his death, November 23, 1964.
In that same vein, fast forward a short thirteen years, and again, if you were old enough, you know exactly where you were and what you were doing on August 16,1977.

The 4th of July in The Great State!
In Texas, we celebrate everything BIG TIME!
You know, the old 'Bigger is Better' adage is ALMOST the Texas tagline. So it's no surprise that the Fourth of July is one of the biggest celebrations of all!
Texans are mighty proud of their state, and their freedoms. They don't take it for granted.
(They had to fight TWICE for it! )
I won't go into a history lesson here, but believe me...we LOVE to have a good time, and July 4th is one mighty BIG reason to

"Going Home"
Before Saturday's Project Graduation a week ago, I got to visit with lots of folks - most of whom had grown up here. Lots of families were attending a backyard barbecue, so lots of different ages were represented. But it was the 'twenty somethings' I talked to, that had moved back that interested me the most. Their parents (and some grandparents) were still here, and they had found (after going away for awhile) that being back home wasn't so bad after all.
In fact it was pretty great!

- Hey Cindi
Congratulations on your 30th anniversary. That's an impressive milestone in these times. Sounds like ya'll had a great time and got to visit a very historic and interesting place.
We are trying to dig out of about a foot of snow with 3 to 4 foot drifts, seems like I've been trying to plow thru them all weekend. And get this, we may have another 8 inches by Wed. I think it's about time to head south. :) Looks like ya'll have had a bit of nasty weather this winter also.
Watchin' the Super Bowl, looks like the game could get interesting here in the last few minutes. Don't really have a favorite in the game, so whoever wins is OK with me. It's been a pretty good game so far.
Anyway just wanted to say Hi. Looks like the Saints are gonna pull it out.

- Yeah, I'm watchin' the Tech game too. Gotta watch all of the Big 12 games
Watched the Sooners finally win a bowl game. I'm a big OU fan, have been since the Midland days.
I'll be pullin' for the Horns later this week.

- this old man doesn't have any idea where this will be posted. But in response to a reply to my early post, I say thanks for Mama Dinka. That said, how many folks out there remember when there was no loop? How many remember the Star Dust Honky Tonk in Odessa? That was where I met my wife.

Thanks for bringing back the great memories and everything else you do. As I've said before you are one heck of a person.

- Good job. That would really be interesting to see what kind of response it would get. I think it would get quite a few hits. I'm surprised thatyou hadn't known about the accident. Of course, I don't really remember hearing anything about in the years that I lived there either.
Hey, sounds like your weekend was a bunch of fun. I really enjoy listening to Asleep at the Wheel, they have some great music. I got to hear them at a fair in Euless back in the 90s. It was great and I even got to meet Ray Benson. Nice guy and really tall.
Let's hope the story works out.
Talk at ya later.

I put a response to the airplane collision out on the discussion. Just thinking, the anniversay of the crash is Saturday, it would be unteresting to see if you could get the original stry re-printed this weekend.

Just a quick note to say Hi. You must be stayin' busy, I haven't heard much from you lately. Hope all is going well for you. Glad to see football season is well underway, I try to listen to the Rebels on Friday nights, looks like they are playing some close games, just not quite there yet and it looks like they have a tough schedule the rest of the way.
The fall colors are beginning to pop out up here, looks like we are gonna have some pretty awesome color this fall.
Have a good one and we'll talk at ya'll later.

I just listened to the LHS-MHS game. What a game, how exciting does it get. After last week I was a little worried but the boys came thru with flying colors tonite. Let's hope that gets the boys in maroon on a roll for the rest of the season. GO REBELS!!!!
How are ya doin'? We've had some great weather this week, But that's gonna change as we're headin' south in the morning for Big D. We'll be there all week visiting with the kids and spoiling the grandkids.
Just wanted to say HI and let ya know I'm listening to some great West Texas again up here in Ohio.
Have a great weekend and we'll holler at ya'll later

- Hey Cindi
Sounds like everyone had a great time. Glad to hear it.
Ahhh Ruidoso, I remember it well, seemed like we used to get over there about every other year or so. I bet it was a great relief from those 100 degree days in Midland. We always had an awesome time when we went. Going to the horse races and even going on a trail ride, it was great. The drive up to Sierra Blanca was also interesting. I remember the road up to the top was narrow and winding. My mom was freaking out all the way up, telling my dad he was getting to close to edge. It was worth it though, it was awesome once you got up there.
Everytime we chat you bring back some great memories that I hadn't thought of in many many years. Great stuff!!!
Try to stay cool and we'll holler at ya'll later.

I'm a little tardy on inquiring as to how everything went with the reunion. I read your article on attending your reunion, good stuff as usual.
Hope the festivities went well and everyone was able to reconnect with old friends. My 40th will be coming up in 2011 and I am looking forward to coming back and seeing the old homestead again and visiting with everyone.
I'm sure that you have everything under control there in West Texas, we are enjoying some nice weather here lately. We're trying to get our plans together to get down that way to visit the kids and grandkids, probably sometime this fall.
Just wanted to drop a note to say HI and hope ya'll are having a good summer.

Just a quick note to say Hi. Hope all is going well. Sounds like you must have had a busy week. That sounds like it would be a fulfilling event to be a part of. Good for you and the kids.
It's getting close to time for the big weekend. Are you all ready to go? I hope ya'll have a great turnout and everyone has a great time. Sounds like with your great planning, all should go off well.
Again, enjoy the renewing of old friendships this weekend.

- Hi Mama-Dinka,
I just opened up my own business here in Midland last week & am now trying to get the word out! I have noticed that you are head of Midland and Lee High's 35th High School Class Reunion's and thought that some of the attendee's might be interested in some of my service's. I was wondering if you would give me some advice as to getting in touch with them about my services and the discounts I am currently offering? Thank You!!!
