Subject:  Mary Benton Shaw

Date Posted: 19:57:18 09/11/05 Sun A lady (Cindy) that I know who is high up in one of the animal rescue organizations here in Houston is from the area where Mary and husband Tim are living now, and Cindy is personally over there working animal relief. Although Cindy has not talked to Tim or Mary directly, she has talked to extended family (seems like everyone either knows or is related to everyone else in that area) and Tim and Mary are supposed to be okay. Don't know the status of their home, but they personally are safe. The animal relief work there is tremendous - and in some ways, if you are an animal lover, more heart breaking than the people stories. We have several friends and acquaintances that are over there working in the trenches. We are working with the local SPCA here, if anyone wants to make donation to the animals, Houston Humane Society, or of course the Red Cross. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 21:45:36 09/05/05 Mon Hey Folks, hope all is well in your lives. I was wondering if any of you all have been in contact with one of our classmates, Mary(Benton) Shaw? She lived north of Biloxi-Gulfport. I had emailed her last Sunday, 8/28,and then the hurricane hit. Let's hope she had already battened the hatches and fled. Just thought I would ask. I am really glad that I have 1300 feet between me and sea level. Take Care My Friends. Bob Ech [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 19:44:08 09/09/05 Fri I have been trying to reach her since it struck with no success. We talked the afternoon before it hit, with strict instructions to her to call me or email ASAP after it struck. So far- nothing. I have someone that I know that lives about 50 miles from them that was going to try to get word. She was acquainted with Mary also through the dogs. The person that I know that said that some local phone calls would go through when long distance would not. Again, so far nothing. From what I can tell from Mapquest, Mary lives about 30 miles from the coast right between Biloxi and New Orleans. She had told me she was about a 40 minutes (or mile - I forget) drive from Biloxi as we were supposed to have gone to dog shows in Biloxi this weekend and were considering staying with her. They were planning on riding it out as they had horses and cattle - and Tim, her husband's parents had farm animals also. I will let you know if and when I hear something. The person that I know and has internet service says that she really can't go check on her right now due to the gas situation being in very, very limited supply, limited to 5 gallons at a time - if you can get it.

When things get too crazy in the office, I open it up and just seeing everyone's names and reading all the stories (Greg, you're still a hoot) makes me smile. Hope to see you all soon.

Date Posted: 12:17:53 03/06/05 Sun In the spirit of fine tuning-- Great find, Michael. At first blush an excellent free web site. Thumbnail "contact" prints (someone help me with the right words for a group of digital thumbnail photographs--maybe thumbnails is it) load very rapidly. I have never seen one faster. Most surprising to me, enlargements of the thumbnail photos load as rapidly and almost as flawlessly. But, had pop-ups begin to appear as I enlarged #43--a group of us from a balcony view, and they continued as I proceeded through the rest of the gallery. Hope it stays this good-or better.

It also said it had attempted a delivery 27 times. Go figure. I'll try again later. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 21:27:38 08/23/05 Tue I am sorry to hear about Mr. Jenkins. I loved his study hall and Civics class. I do think he enjoyed teaching very much. I hope you all are doing well. I do not get to Harrison much, but I will be there at "The Hub" (the old Dogpatch) for the Fire on the Mountain motorcycle rally on Saturday night Sept. 3rd. My husband Terry is going to be playing in a band from 6-8 before the Acuff band, so if you do not have anything to do, come see me. We will be there Saturday about noon until Sunday at noon. I will not be hard to find because I just had surgery for carpel tunnel and tendonitis surgery on my left hand and I am having the right hand done the Monday before the event. I will have braces on both arms, my hair will be a mess and I will be on meds....but hey gotta have some fun huh? We are staying at the motel there on the hill. (And to think I was the youngest in the class..Ha...I do not turn 50 until the end of this year!) Malia I was wondering how Jackie was doing also. Greg you never stop amazing me with stories! Congratulations Michael on the 1st Grandbaby. He is a doll and there is nothing like them. You can put this in your browser and see some family pictures I had made for my Mom for Mothers Day here: If the ‘View album’ button doesn’t work, copy and paste this link into your browser: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=9Aas27Vo1asdW I hope to see some of you Labor Day weekend.

Date Posted: 17:00:37 08/24/05 Wed Face it Becky, I'm an amazing man with amazing stories. Sort of like Carlton's believe it or not. You know when I was a batboy the crowds used to get on to me for having long hair hanging out of my baseball cap. I guess that I was one of the first "hippie" batboys. Sometime I'll tell you about meeting Marilyn Monroes's former husband Joltin' Joe DiMaggio. I hope you heal up soon. Sounds like you've went through alot. Tell your husband that two days ago I bought an Ibanez guitar (electric) and am playing again after about a fifteen year layoff. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 00:10:08 08/27/05 Sat Greg, Yes you do have some stories. My son in law is the biggest baseball fan of the century. A friend gave me 2 original posters (we are not sure where they came from) of the 1947 NY Yankees American League Champs and the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers National League Champs. I gave them to my Son in Law for his birthday. Try to make it to the "hub" on Sat. the 3rd of Sept. Terry will be playing from 6-8 and 10-12. I will tell him about you starting to play again. You should enjoy it out there Greg...they are having a bikini bike washing contest!!!!!! And of course lots of other activites that you can see http://www.hubinfo.com/home.htm I know you will also enjoy the REPCO Show Girls whoever they are. Twenty bucks gets you in all day and night for all events! I hope to see you then. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 08:37:24 08/26/05 Fri I had to go to the dentist a couple of weeks ago.. I taught all five of the Keeners who were prenatally influenced to be dentists.. I've gone to Louie for several years. while there Larry gave me this URL for the good web page that Michael has provided.. I have been retired for 20 years; a whole generation has grown up. Earl and I had a wonderful retirement but now he is gone and I am alone. Shara , our daughter lives in Springfield, MO; her husband Jerry Cash is also a dentist. In the living room I have a cabinet with 35 tigers, bulldogs, bobcats, and even goblins inside..annuals.. but none of them have ever jumped out and attacked me!! I like to review and remember those of you who were in my classes. I am apparently in good health. I never felt old for one minute recently. I am proud of all of you.. and I enjoy seeing those who live here. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 17:12:55 08/24/05 Wed Sorry to here about Mr Jenkins. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He was always "Charlie Tuna" to me too. I have come to realize that what Mr. Jenkins taught us about being good citizens and all the times he busted some of us on the "behind" was for our own good. It is a good thing to visit this web page and keep up to date on everyone. I am going to the Doctor tomorrow for an MRI on my back, I may have to have surgery. I will find out tommorrow. I have also been busy at work. I am still working full time for Uncle Sam with HQS 1-142d FA, Arkansas Army National Guard here in Harrison. We are sending more soldiers to IRAQ and KOSOVO, so I have been on the road a lot here lately. Gerald " Ted Fox " Pederson [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 22:27:08 04/03/05 Sun Wow, I just stumbled onto this board (thanks to Greg Carlton) and it's nice to see it up and alive. I've tried to connect to the old one for months and got an "error" message. All is well in Harrison at the Poe household. My kids are 17/15 -junior and freshman (I know, we started late) and we're having lots of fun. The only teacher left from our era is Numbers Nelson, and it's fun to see him at PTA things. No great news about anything, just a boring note from me. P.S., what's a good time start saving for your kid's college education? Is it too soon? I hate to have too much in the fund and it go to waste. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 19:33:16 03/05/05 Sat It's baseball season again. How 'bout them steroids! Speaking of those, I just printed off four copies of me and Barry Bonds' godfather, Willie Mays. The photo was taken by a Look magazine photographer in 1968. Willie has on his Giant's uniform, and mine says Chicago (of course when I was a batboy). Mays was always my favorite player as a kid and to talk to him, stand next to him, and watch him play right in front of me was a dream come true for me. May's is the greatest living ballplayer, not Bonds. You'd better e-mail me, Anna Sue, and tell me what's going on. I go to church with an old friend of yours. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 13:33:40 03/06/05 Sun Well Michael, it's kind of a long story. In 1964, the year the Cardinals beat the Yankees in the World Series, I attended spring training in Arizona that year with my grandparents and my mother. As we were walking in the gate of the ballpark where the Cubs trained, a official with the opposing team, the Los Angeles Angels, came up to me and aked me "Do you want a batboy." He was using the term loosely as a verb meaning "do you want to be a batboy for us." I thought he was saying "Do you want a bat, boy." So, of course I wanted a bat. So I said yes and my mother nodded approval and I proceeded to follow him into the visitors clubhouse. As soon as I entered I knew I didn't understand what was going on because a coach came up to me and told me to "suit up" and get out on the field. Of course being only nine at the time, I misconstrued this as meaning I was going to have to play and I knew at nine that I couldn't hit major league pitching. So I became scared and left the clubhouse and said I don't want to do it and appeared up in the stands by my mother with a tear in my eye. I told her I just couldn't hit that fast pitching. She then pointed out to me what a batboy was and I agreed to do it the next day (like it was an easy job to get with a major league baseball team.) Sure enough, the next day I arrived at the ballpark and my mother asked some coaches if they needed a batboy. Several minutes later the equipment manager for the Chicago Cubs came and got me, offered me a cup of soup, showed me what to do, and the rest is history. With the exception of 1965 I attended spring training for two weeks every year and was the Cub's batboy and would also travel to do the same thing for them in St. Louis during the regular season. The neat thing about that is the most heated rivalry in the National League is between the Cardinals and the Cubs and the games were always packed with people from Chicago and St. Louis. I continued doing this through my senior year in high school, for nine years, and met everybody from DiMaggio to Mays from Brock to Gibson and many more. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
