Delia girlfriend.................. how are you???? I like your Forum Pic. It's your cute side........ Ok, ok, both sides were and ......... Sorry, Sorry, I'll stop.......... Didn't mean to flirt or anything...... Just good to here your voice again or read you words again................. A flower. If you know what I mean. Or remember.............. Those were the days............ I miss Tulia, I miss Mom and Dad, all my friends and the good old days. Oh well........................ So life goes.........

Seems like I remember Jay Hon.... but it's foggy........ unclear..... the name just sounds so familiar. But, sorry I can't help.

Buttlers party sounded like fun, but I wasn't invited. Even though I loved the Beetles and had dance moves that no one had ever seen before especially after several shots of the stuff from the other side of the boarder. Even Gene Bernett and her girlfriends said so!!!!!!!!!!!!

Class of 70, John (Jay) Hon, missing Class mate is now on our Web site. He posted his profile. It's good to have another Tulia person found. Jay still has a sister living in Tulia , and grew up with most of you. Check out his profile and welcome our newest wild child from the 1970 era. His other sisters, are Jackie and Judy from the Tulia Web. I remembered them and that's how we found Jay.

Debra............ Just got an email this morning about Odell........ Dam......... I'm glad I got to see him at our reunion. We talked at the park a long time. He was a long time friend. Hate to here he left us behind. There was another time I remember being left behind by Odell.

Odell and I gave em hell in the Tulia Hornet Football backfield. He was Right Halfback and I was Left Halfback. I remember a game in Canyon. Odell and I were back to receive a punt. We were taught that whoever the punt was kicked to the other one would yell go or stop, giving the receiver a heads up on what to do when he caught the ball and giving the receiver the opportunity to keep his eye on the ball and not fumble the catch.

The punt was kicked to Odell and Canyon was on top of him so I yelled stop giving Odell an opportunity to signal a fare catch. But, he didn't. He caught the punt and took off running choking me on heel dust.

Odell old buddy. GO! GO! GO! You just keep on running up there and chock em in cloud dust. See you later buddy.

Thanks Delia........................

Were having a Texas like day here in Bama. For the last couple of weeks we have been having two and three days a week with 30 - 35 mile per hour winds. Makes me home sick for Texas. I'm looking out my study window now watching the trees sway and listening to the wind whistle threw the window. Reminds me of the good old days on the farm except for the trees of course.

More storms are on their way this afternoon. Last week they hit near Huntsville. Harvest and Tanner, two towns all but wiped out last year, were hit again last week. Some people were still rebuilding their homes from last years Tornados when they were destroyed once again last week. That's bad shit I don't care who you are.

If I live through this round of storms I'll talk to ya'll again...............................

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!! Looks like this web site is losing it's intererst in posting. If you have facebook, Everyone is posting on a Remember in Tulia site. It is busy sometimes, and not so much other times.

It is fun to hear some of the things people remember. You might like to read some of the things going on Randy . Facebook isn't as scary as I thought it would be. I just keep everything to Friends only! None of this friends of friend. I know anything posted is not really private. Just be careful what you post. No long tales! I think you would like it. People post old Photos of people and things that use to be going on in Tulia.

Have a Blessed Easter everyone.........

All right dam it don't make me cuss and fuss. Hell I can't even spell most cuss words correctly. They just didn't teach that in Advanced English back when. Do they now? That would be a good job for me. Don't ya think!!!!!!!

Sorry I got busy and haven't written in a while. Hell, some of you haven't written since the crust of the earth cooled. It's cool now. So come on. What ya waiten fur!!!

I would like to hear from my classmates. At least from someof ya and yes maybe the rest also. Take a little time out and just say something. Why don't we want to talk to one another. I know face book is out there but there are some like me that will never be on that shit. Hey, why ride a public bus when you can walk and listen to the birds sing, smell the toxic air and maybe even see someone shagging in the bushes. I know some of you would be scared if you saw the shagging. HEART ATTACK!!!!!!! Others might have forgot what it looked like or sounded like. So maybe you should take the buss. Maybe the short buss.

Celinda talk to me. Say something and maybe I will remember something and write about it. Shit there were all those naked days in Low School. Remember. Well maybe we won't talk about them. Yes No Maybe Kinda Sometime Never Gotta Notta Wouldn't you like to know Ok maybe I won't tell Or maybe I will. Ok, ok so there wasn't any but it sure sounds like fun. Right. So let's get together this year and make some later day naked days. Now thats fun I don't care who you are.

PS I'm in Atlanta. Chasing those GA. Peaches. Caught two last night. Maybe that's why I'm feeling frisky tonight.

I had trouble getting on this site. Not sure if that's the reason you haven't heard from anyone.

Randy, I know alot of get togethers are being planned durning the week and weekend of picnic. July weekend of 20-21.

You should reconsider the facebook, Remember in Tulia....... Alot of people are on the site...... They just talk about things they remember and post photos. It is nice to read about all the crazy fun times. You would enjoy the things people post. There is a big get together planed during the week of picnic, 17th or 18th? Alot of people in Town for picnic and reunions. Hope you will be able to be here in July. There are shirts for sale here in Town, for the big reunion. See ya in July......

Randall - I'm out here but like Delia, have had some trouble getting on the site on occasion. I could easily access from my iPhone but work had the site blocked as an "unacceptable social or dating site". All of a sudden that restriction was lifted and here I am back in from my work computer. Shhhhhh - don't tell. I hate it when work interferes with my social life.

There are some interesting gatherings planned for this Picnic. I recall that we, as a class, were going to have a 60th birthday reunion this year but the plans were never firmed up. According to the poll I posted months ago, the majority wanted to do it in Tulia, in July and during Picnic. Here's our chance . . . I plan to be in Tulia (mom turns 89 this year) and for anyone who lives nearby or plans to make the trip just let me know. I have no doubt we can always throw something together for those who want to reunite! Those of you who are on Facebook have probably seen the references to a reunion from the "Remember in Tulia" group. It's a very diverse gang with folks of all ages who either grew up in Tulia, graduated HS there, or who lived there at one time. The information exchange, photos and ping pong quips back and forth are quite entertaining. It's been fun reconnecting with so many people who were part of Tulia's past history.

I posted a new prayer request - it seems like they are coming more often these days. This time it is Marsha Sharp who needs your thoughts and prayers as her family mourns the loss of her brother, David, who was killed in an auto accident on Monday.

The site has been quiet but there are still a significant number of visitors who pop in from time to time! Again, if you are interested in pulling together a reunion of sorts to celebrate our lives as sexegenarians (for those with a dirty mind - Randall of course - that simply means people who are in their 60's). Not all of you have reached that distinction but most will this year. I think we have at least one exception (Gay) who is a bit younger but you don't have to be in your 60's to join the reunion! Just let me know and we will come up with a time, place, etc.

Stop and smell those flowers, my friends. Life is so precious and often too short!

"toes in the water, ass in the sand, not a worry in the world a cold beer in your hand...................." and gave us no thought. BUSTED! GOT YA! This sounds much better than blaming it on old age.

Randall: If only that was true. Believe me, I'd much rather be sunning on a beach and summoning the cabana boy for frozen fruity drinks with umbrellas! Unfortunately, I am more likely to have been chained to my desk here at work with a time release lock that only let's me out at quitting time. Sad, but true.

I do pledge to be ever diligent in maintaining the site in the future! TGIF to all. Welcome back, RS. I've missed you.

Ok... I received email messages about a few posts on this site. I am glad the site is working again. It is a good way to keep up with our classmates. I still think you should get on facebook and be apart of the Remember in Tulia site, Randy and anyone else out there from Tulia. The photos they post are so fun and such great history of Tulia and the people. I am glad to know we can get in touch with everyone again..... Thanks Cindi....

I have had a busy Summer. My grandsons both came for a visit the first part of the Summer....so Blessed to have grandsons and my sweet daughters and family. I just came home from a wonderful trip to Colorado. I went out to my niece's Wedding in Eagle, with my brother and sister. We flew out together and my brother filmed our trip,

Donna, Delia and Donnie's great adventure to Dora's Wedding...... Ha you can imagine the rest.... our other sister is in Eagle, so the whole Family was there! It was a wonderful Wedding and so great to have everyone together.

I pray everyone has had a good Summer. Fall is in the air and it has been raining a wonderful light rain since I drove in to Tulia last evening. Thank God for the rain..... God Bless everyone!

I am happy to report that site activity has increased significantly so it appears folks are checking in periodically. When I sent the last email I did get some "bouncebacks" so some classmates have changed their email addresses but did not update their profile on our class site. If you have any way of contacting the folks below, please ask them to log on to the new link www.tulia1970.org and update their profile. If your profile is not up to date you will not receive site messages or emails from classmates who attempt to reach you through the site. Those with out of date emails are: Brenda Hicks; Mike Cosby; Mark Miller; Lonnie Treadway; Rita Stark & Katrina Donnell. Get the message out to these folks!

I am sure your summer is winding down and, hopefully, most of you are experiencing some cooler weather. I can't say the same for residents of the Southern Cal Desert area. We are still in the 100's with a possible break in heat with temps down to 99 by next Monday. We had a significant increase in our humidity through the summer this year so we can no longer claim "its a dry heat". It was by far the most miserable summer I've experienced since relocating here in 1980. Of course, getting older doesn't help my tolerance level for heat so thank goodness this is a great place weather-wise for 9 months out of the year!

My mom has officially moved from Tulia which was her home for over 65 years. When I was there in July I helped with getting her into Palo Duro Village in Canyon. It's an independent living apartment complex for seniors and she seems to really love it there. She moved in mid-August and will soon put her house on the market. She and my dad bought that house while under construction (built by Bob Hickman) when I was about 9 years old. It was bittersweet to realize I spent my last night in my childhood home in July. She was the last widow standing on the corner of Crockett & Park. We still plan to hold a 90th birthday bash in Tulia for her next July.

Thanks to all who have sent emails of support for the continued maintenance of this site! Check in often.

Celinda.....................Sorry to hear that a piece of your childhood will be going away with your Mom's move and the selling of the house. That sucks but sometimes some things just happen and we have to roll with the punches or get knocked out. Rolling is a bit better that being knocked out. Both suck but................

Growing up in Swisher County I remember living in five different places. First we rented the old Ward place (may have been related to you) in the middle of a pasture. Then we bought the house at Dallas Street when I was just a toddler. Next we moved back to the country at a place we called The Rattle Snake Place about a mile from what would become the home place. Then we moved to the Home Place and while there I road a bus to Happy and acquire my elementary education. Then we moved back to Dallas Street and after I graduated the family moved to Hale St. but I lived either at Dallas St. or at the Home Place after that, being all grown up and all.

First the house on The Rattle Snake Place clasped, Then Dallas St. was sold and later torn down and then the Home Place was torn down. Mom sold Hale St. several years ago. My childhood life is now filled with passing ghosts in the night and memories of what was. That sucks toooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

You can remember it. You can dream about it. You can smile about it. You can revisit it. You can feel it. You can sometimes even smell it. You can do a lot of things about it but the one thing you want to do you can't. You can't bring it back to you and you can't go back to it. All you can do is hold it in your heart. Remember. Smile. Cry. And cuss. That sucks tooooooooo. But that's it.

Yet all that wonderful stuff of yester year will always be alive in my heart and being remembered in my mind will always be. And as you know there is one other thing you can do. You can recreate it again to some degree where you are now by pictures on the wall of your house. In your garden. At your shop. The old truck you drive. The bird bath in your yard...........

Maybe thats why I live way out in the country, rase horses and drive a big green tractor. One that is sexy of course. YEW HAW YAH!!! GET YOU SOME OF THAT!!!!!

Somebody just say Boooooooooooooooooo
