ALSO - A BIG THANK YOU: to Dr. Linda Foster and Mrs. Mary Zuschlag

Hannah, & Caitlin (& to Day Doughty Smith for facilitating
Re-Cap
of Weekend Events:
Mixer
at Barn Door - We guardedly walked in, unsure of who we would know,
or if anyone would know us, but as the evening progressed, many old
and new friendships were re-kindled. A good time was had. Thank goodness
for NameTags & Reading Glasses. Also, earlier that evening,
several members of Woodridge Elementary 1959/1960 First Grade Class,
honored their former Teacher, Mrs. Evelyn Lee, and her husband at a
nostalgic dinner. Members included: Walton Tassos Selig, Gordon Stevenson,
Libby Castleberry Brocard, Mark Sullivan, and Shelley Daniel Janicek.
Living
History Tour - Battle of The Alamo: Our own talented and entertaining
Tom Jackson, a veteran living historian, conducted an enjoyable living
history tour of Alamo Plaza in historical attire with flintlock rifle
to explain the siege and battle of the Alamo. (Mannti Cummins "assisted"
with his Mexican Vanna White gig)
Golf
- Friday morning, 7ladies & gents played at Brackenridge:
Max Wier, Dev Temple, Jim O'Brien, Jim Gorman, Ginny Seymour Johnson,
Meredith Wheeler, & Richard Clark. Max qualified for having hit
the most trees. Meredith and Ginny tied for most ear piercings, Gentleman
Jim Gorman was most eligible bachelor. Jim O'Brien was discovered communicating
with the squirrels. Dev was Mr. Congeniality, as always. On Saturday,
12 played at Rebecca Creek: Jim Jung, Richard Jung, Susan McCullough
Altgelt, John McCaleb, David Bongio, George Wyatt, Don Rymer, Shelley
Daniel Janicek, Donnie Janicek, Mike Caruthers, Russ Huffington, Max
Wier. Again, Max pretended to hit the most trees. And Shelley Daniel,
she always seemed so sweet and demure - a KILLER of golf balls. John
McCaleb, Shelley Daniel Janicek, & Russ Huffington were on the winning
team. Nice birdie on #18 John.
Family
Picnic @ the home of Steve & Shannon Gilliland Nisbet - was an opportunity
to kick back, enjoy a sunny October day, visit with old and new friends.
We also got to ooooo and ahhhhh over the youngest child of a '71 Grad
- Catherine Alice Jacob, daughter of Lynda & Mark Jacob - what a
little doll, but 'fraid we bored her stiff, as she slept thru the afternoon.
Thanks again Shannon for sharing your lovely yard.
Tour
of the High School Current Principal, Dr. Linda Foster, and Mrs. Mary
Zuschlag (who began her first year at AHHS with us in '67 and will retire
this year) guided 65 Grads and families on a wonderful, nostalgic tour.
We turned back the clock 30+ years as we clowned around the different
wings, sat in the desks of our former classrooms, filed up and down
those old stairs. Plus saw many great new additions to the campus. Good
and Not-so-Good Memories flooded back. The Biology Lab looked pretty
much the same, tall black tables. The Library has that same wonderful
'library smell'. New cafeteria above ground. The Hoof Print is now downstairs
instead. New cool Band Hall. Mule Stall and Tennis Courts are long gone.
Funny how the place looks so small now - it seemed larger back on that
first day in 1967.
2001:
Odyssey Party - San Antonio Garden Center - Dinner catered by El
Jarro de Arturo; Bar by Raffles Restaurant & Bar; Music
& Special Video Presentation by our very talented classmate, Robert
Schonhoff. The Memorabilia/Nostalgia Displays provided retrospect
entertainment, and The Memorial Corner was an honorable & loving
tribute to our deceased classmates. It was great to visit with some of
our former teachers. Mr. Larry Williams (Jr. High History) was heartbroken
that a bad cold prevented him from attending, but he sent his love to
all. The evening & entire weekend simply went by too quickly. We'll
plan more casual visiting time at our 35th. return to top
