Lisa and I were in homeroom together at Paschal. I was quiet and she was... not. What a clever and funny person she was, with so much energy and the willingness to share her opinions.
We will miss her smile but we'll see her go-go dancing in heaven!
Hank and I attended Alice Carlson Elementary, McLean, and Paschal together, and we played together - both Hank and his brother Beau - for one year of youth baseball on the KXOL Cubs team. He was really good and he was also a fast runner. Extremely fast!
One of my favorite memories of Hank was at Paschal when some guy said something mean to him. Hank just smiled and said, "And I love you, too!" When I asked him about his reply, he said that was how he preferred to respond to bullies.
What a nice guy!
I called Hank in November to tell him about this year's reunion and he said he didn't think he could make it. He had worked hard and succeeded in business and was looking forward to retiring and traveling. Unfortunately, his serious health issues were preventing him from enjoying his golden years.
We are all better people for having been Hank's friend.
Thank you, Ned and Chris. You're two of my favorite friends every and we had so much fun, from tennis to Burger's Lake and, of course, Paschal. After being off Dr Pepper for 1,204 days, I gave in to the cravings. Ah, yes... that sweet nectar!!! Bubba
I remember one of his comments that he used frequently. Instead of just agreeing with something, he would say, "Ya ain't wrong!"
Because Trey and Chris Sumrow were such longtime friends, that opened the door for me to get to experience Trey a little.
What a fond memory.
Robert was such a nice guy, and he always had this mischievous smile that implied, “I know something you don’t know.” And since he was so smart, he definitely did know things we didn’t know. He also has this calming presence and sense of confidence.
I did have the opportunity to visit with him for a while at our 50th reunion, so I’ll have that memory of our last visit together.
Here Ned James and I are returning Raschal the Paschal Panther to Paschal on Monday afternoon. Ned and I became best friends in elementary school and here we are now... just a couple years later! I had to watch out because Raschal was leaping for me.
KUDOS to Ned and the entire 50th Reunion Committee for planning and fulfilling an absolutely AMAZING weekend!

Liz always had such a friendly smile and was so nice to everyone at Paschal. We will definitely miss seeing her. I'll keep Liz and her family in my prayers.
I am really looking forward to our 50th reunion this spring. Thanks to the incredible work that our classmate Sue Bailey has given over so many years to bring us all together and the committee that Ned James is leading, we owe it to ourselves to make this a priority and have an amazing time. The Class of '69 truly is... SO FINE!
Danny was a great friend at Paschal. I thought of him as a gentle giant and wondered how he could make himself do battle against other football teams because he WAS such a nice guy. Danny and I had a brief visit at the PantherCare party and we all would have spent more time with him had we known it would be our final opportunity. He was such a wonderful person...
