Bob Eikel sends along
this photo from Poe Elementary School, Kindergarten, 1946. Louie
Brazelton, Edwin Hermance, Monroe Luther, and Marsha Cunningham
are on the front row. Bryan Miller is in the second row. Linnie
Mae Mower and Bob are in the top row. On the far left in the
second row you'll find Pat Rankin. Perhaps others can put
names to additional faces. Check out the Poe photos below which
show these classmates growing up.
Trivial factoids from Bob: "The wooden structure behind us was
the bicycle rack. Our teacher was Mrs. English." |

Carol Henderson's son
Kevin reports (June 6, 2008) that Carol "is in bed resting and
wanted me to tell you how much she appreciates the phone
calls, cards, and emails. I have read all of them to her, and
once she is able, she will respond to all correspondences from
her good friends and family. I personally would like to thank
all of you for the kind thoughts and prayers you have expressed
for my mother. In today's busy world, random acts of kindness
seldom occur. I have also enclosed a couple of pictures of Mom
from the Tanglewood days." On June 14, Kevin sent along the
collage showing Carol at Lanier; Carol, Kirby, and Lois; the
home on Colquitt; and Judy Fleming and Judy Horton describing
his mom as "not one to sit in the stands and watch the Rodeo,
she was down on the bull, riding for eight seconds." Carol's
health continues to decline.

sends
along this photo and note: "Ran across these pictures in an old
file. Some mothers save everything. February 8, 1954, at the
River Oaks Recreation Center, Mardi Gras costumes.
Linnie Mower as a ballerina (?)
with a jeweled mask, Jim Schoonover
as the Shiek of Araby, Julie
Peyton as perhaps Little Bo Peep, and
me as a Wild Man from Borneo.
On top of that mop is a red rubber doggie bone and I believe it
kept falling off. Not exactly PC, but I was only about 13 ½. "

Charles D. Summers
tells a story
"I was thinking about the Principal, Mrs. Zelda Shumate. She drove that green 1950 Studebaker
at a usual speed was between 10-15 mph and could barely
see under the steering wheel. She lived down about the 6600 block of
Buffalo Speedway. The police at West University gave her a wide
berth when I worked for the Fire Department.
One time [Ernie Dunlop and I] came across a cheap cigar or two (I don't remember
which) and decided to have a smoke after school on the school
grounds, so we hid under one of the shacks. We had a pretty good
cloud of smoke going when we heard a commotion from inside the
classroom. We had thought it was vacant, but a teacher came out
with a few others and began to look around underneath. We hid
behind the stone supports and were not detected. We must have
both been glad that our cigar smoking experiment had ended.
Ernie knew where to go on the roof over the walkway by the
library, and the new brick building in the back. I went with him
several times after school and we could transverse almost the
entire school on the roof.
I thought I'd share those memories."

From Donna Mills Nelson: "Received notice of
Patsy Wren’s obituary, and came across this old photo of a first
or second grade birthday party at my old house, 2509 Elmen St., in
Houston, Texas. Thought her family would enjoy seeing the photo, and
since I am in contact with both Sue and Sally, that it would be of
interest to them too. I am the third from the left on the top row,
with Patsy at my right, Sue is at the far left, kneeling on the
ground, and Sally is in front with the purse. Hope all is well with
the rest of this group from the past. Donna"
Ford Smith writes "I was a school mate of
Patsy’s from elementary school (Woodrow Wilson) thru Lamar High
School. Patsy was a sweet , pretty, and a good friend. Everyone
loved Patsy and wanted to be her friend. I didn’t see her at our 50th
Class Reunion for she was one of my classmates I wanted to visit.
Patsy will be missed by all of us that knew her well." |
