Date Posted: 18:07:48 07/09/06 Sun Thank you, Becky, for getting the ball rolling, so to speak. Now, for my answer to your question: 1. Long Cool Woman by the Hollies; 2. I'm Your Captain/Getting Closer to Home by Grand Funk (Am I the only person who likes this song? The oldies stations never play it!); and 3. Layla by Derek and the Dominos.

Date Posted: 20:30:15 07/17/06 Mon You know Kevin, I saw Grand Funk Railroad on their first concert tour in Little Rock in about 1970. Their famous song at the time was "Inside Looking Out." They were just starting to become the super popular band that they finally became. My mother made me dress up and wear my polyester pants and dress shoes to the concert. So when me and my friends arrived at the concert we were like ducks out of water. Everybody else had long hair and was asking for spare change. Good concert though. One of the first big name bands to come to Barton Coliseum. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 22:26:35 07/12/06 Wed "Joy to the World"....or was it Jeremiah was a bullfrog? by Three Dog Night. Everytime I hear it I still smell the corndogs and greasy fries at Joel's place. Used to spend $1.00 on that for lunch everyday (remember we could leave campus) and the rest of my change on the juke box, playing that crazy song. Sadly, my eating habits were imprinted early in life. I can also remember taking my 35 cents lunch money in Jr High and running over to Harold's donuts after school and buying seven donuts (nickle each) before I got on the bus. had to dodge Mr. Hudson, we weren't supposed to leave campus and come back, but I lived on the edge, even back then! Now I go to Weight Watchers and haven't seen a donut (or my feet or a few other things) in a long time. I'll get there soon, though. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 11:20:04 07/15/06 Sat Kevin, it was across the creek from school at the base of Harrison Hill. We had to walk across the bridge behind the school and it was right there. It has recently been a bbq place (they expanded it a lot) and now "Europa" restaurant. Pretty much a little "Dairy Bar" in 1973. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 14:35:47 08/02/06 Wed Just read all the messages and had to comment on your pick, Richie, of "Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog." I always remember sitting in my little orange Pinto (with many dents from the many, many driving lessons I gave to Lindie, Mari A, Ann Fitton--my Dad didn't understand why I had so many wrecks) and waiting for Mari Alice to come out of her house for school. It was weird...it was always playing at the same time every single morning. Is it time for our reunion yet?!! I had so much fun and I know everyone did. The "planners" did an excellent job!

Date Posted: 12:12:56 08/12/06 Sat Malia, congratulations. I drive by your mom-in-law's house everyday and she's usually outside in that floppy hat mowing the yard. I let mine get knee high before I consider it a little tall. She keeps hers below 2 inches. Your brother-in-law is ALWAYS working in the pastures, cutting hay, feeding the cattle, etc. even on Sunday afternoon (nap time). I'm sure you'll fit in great with a family with that obsession for neatness and organization. Maybe you can teach her to cook pizzaburgers and win her affection with your culinary skills.

Date Posted: 19:57:48 07/21/06 Fri Debbie, I can remember seeing Lynyrd Skynyrd on their first concert tour in 1973 at UCA (then SCA). I would imagine Richie Arnold remembers it too. Later I saw them backing up Eric Clapton at Memphis Memorial Coliseum with Lionel Owens -about 1974. Patti Hearst had just been kidnapped and Lionel thought he saw her in the crowd. He spent half the concert looking for her in the crowd. I'll never forget "Free Bird" though. They ended their set as usual with it and the whole crowd were on there feet. Clapton, believe it or not, had a tough act to follow that day. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

We just stood there and watched them like a circus act. Becky, I thought that you WERE one of the streakers that night trying to keep up with your boyfriend. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 23:33:24 07/27/06 Thu Well I have been reading here, and I am surprised no one has mentioned this band since they were so close to us. They even played at our state fair several years. Black Oak Arkansas. Even if their heyday was short lived it was like David Lee Roth fronting Lynard Skynard! GO Jim Dandy! They played at Barton in 73. Also I heard Malia is married now to Robert Parkinson and living in Flippin. I keep waiting for her songs to be posted because I think I know what at least one will be!

Date Posted: 17:40:56 07/17/06 Mon Thanks, Becky, for initiating this. The songs mentioned so far were and still are some of my favorites. I even liked Kevin's picks! Here are three more that might be worthy: Eagles "Desperado" Steely Dan "Reeling in the Years" or "Do It Again" Bob Dylan "Knocking on Heaven's Door" An honorable mention could be: Todd Rundgren "Hello, It's Me" which I heard the other day and had forgotten how good it was. Or, Edgar Winter Group "Frankenstein" which I was introduced to by our late friend, Jim Terminella. I'd love to see what Greg Carlton would put on his list. He'd never get it down to three either!

You know,Becky and Darrell. Lionel Owens, Danny Watts, Malia Harden and I all attended the Grand Funk concert in Little Rock that "American Band" was based on. Correct me if I'm wrong, Malia.

Date Posted: 12:57:57 07/18/06 Tue You know I probably could have named 50 more songs, Richie. What about "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull, or "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin. And wasn't "La Grange" by ZZ Topp played during '72 or '73? You were right in choosing "Frankenstein," that was hugely popular. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 15:31:57 07/19/06 Wed Actually, you're right Richie. Glen Campbell was the back up act and sang "By the Time I Get To Phoenix," followed by Grand Funk Railroad opening with fireworks and "We're An American Band." It ended with a duet with Mark Farner and Campbell singing "Wichita Lineman." It made me cry. P.S. I'm going to find another dentist. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 07:54:59 07/19/06 Wed Richie A., glad to know that you "even liked Kevin's picks!" What, did you expect Tony Orlando's "Knock Three Times?" Greg, regarding your second tier choice of Aqualung, Jethro Tull (at least the modified version) is alive and playing. I attended their concert here in Dallas last year. There were some pretty strange people there (present company excluded, of course). And finally, for you trivia buffs, especially those who selected "We're An American Band", " "sweet, sweet Connie" from Little Rock was a real person--she sat next to me in my second year literature class at UALR. Not very scholarly, but I suspect that is not why Grand Funk sang about her "last night in Little Rock." [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Dueling Banjos by Eric Weissberg & Steve Mandell Every time that Coors Silver Bullet commercial plays Love Train, I can't help but think of our senior year. My vote for most screwed up song: In the Summertime by Mongo Jerry. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 21:13:11 08/02/06 Wed Becky: Nah - just some of my dry wit. I found it amusing that everyone had a connection to Connie (but me). Busy - mostly work-related. Two boys in college and one will be in 9th. RE: songs; it's very interesting to see (almost) the dust flying out of our memories. Fortunately we have a killer classic rock station here in Houston, so I hear most of those mentioned frequently. I think it was Malia that brought up Cat Stevens. On this summer's sailing trip, we spent three nights at Sunshine's - the best beach bar in the world (on Nevis). They blare music, mostly of the Marley-type. Then they put on a "Best of" CD of Cat Stevens. Had to hit iTunes and download back at home. Richie - while on the trip we hit the same nude beach that my mother-in-law bribed me with a beer to walk with her on. Thought of you. Jim [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

It was fun reading the notes from everyone. I hope everyone is doing well. Linda [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 21:20:31 08/14/09 Fri Ronald, Of course most of us remember you. You went to school with us forever. I can even remember you being one of the first fast food workers in Harrison when you worked at Jerry's Drive-In. Remember the hamburger, hamburger deluxe (with all the fix-ins), and a small cherry coke for a nickel. I also remember your last name originally being Bouvet, I believe. I remember you changing it sometimes during elementary school. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 21:08:06 09/26/09 Sat Ronald, Actually, I was a batboy for the Cubs for two weeks during spring training (every year but 1965) from 1964 to 1972, from the age of 9 to part of my senior year, when I was eighteen. Also, every summer my mother would drive me to St. Louis where we would clash with our nemesis the Cardinals. So, I would do the Busch Stadium games, too. I guess that makes me the first professional batboy from Harrison. A star was born. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 20:14:23 09/24/09 Thu Hi Greg & everyone! Mary Fleenor here. I saw Mary Woolverton's message & thought I should check in. After I left Harrison in 1989, I moved to Ohio & was there for 14 years. When an opportunity opened up in Springfield, MO, I took it (my dad was in a nursing home in Springfield with Alzheimer's), and have been here since 2003. Still working in radio; Operations Manager for four stations, 104.7 The Cave, 92.9 Bass Country, Star 105.1 & Q102.1. Great to reconnect with you all! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 22:24:43 07/22/09 Wed "Memories, like the echos of my mind." Jerry (Ped), I can remember about 45 years ago when you and I would eat together most of the time in the Central Elementary cafeteria. We would usually order hamburgers and fries, but they wouldn't give us ketchup--for some reason-- to put on our fries. They only gave us a dollop of mustard on our trays. So we adapted and developed a taste for fries dipped in mustard the whole year. I remember the time you ate 16 sandwiches before a track meet at Forest Heights--you were always fast--and I remember somebody telling me (maybe you) that you didn't do so good because you had a stomach ache. I could reveal alot more, but that would cost money. Don't worry about your health. You worked for 34 years with the guard. I believe you will be retired, at least from the guard, for the next 40 years given your good genetics you're saintly mother has given you. Congratulations on your retirement. I'm glad you survived the recent travails of being a miliary man. Hey, now you can play golf everyday and become a pro golfer. I know at our last renunion you did quite well at the Country Club here. Good luck, and I imagine our next reunion will be our 40th in 2013, unless I hear different. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

I remember the sandwiches, couldn't remember how many though, not a good idea before track meet. As far as playing golf, yeah I play a little but by no means am I any good at it, I just enjoy a good challenge, as far as our last reunion as I recall Danny, Jackie, and Darrel were the reason our team did so good.

Date Posted: 17:44:42 07/27/09 Mon Wow--a flurry of posting activity after a long and deafening silence! This is good. So first it was Bill Lovell retiring before the age of 50, and now Jerry Ped retiring at 53 (or 54). Who is next? Greg, a fact check is in order here. I cannot remember what I ate for dinner last night, but my memory of events which occurred in my childhood is as fresh on my mind as if those events happened this morning (except for those I have chosen to forget, which are many). In that connection, someone correct me if I am wrong, but when we were in elementary school, I do not believe we had the hamburger (and I use that term liberally here) option. I do not believe that option became available until junior high. Am I wrong? And why wouldn't the cafeteria serve us ketchup (or catsup, if you will)with our french fries? Was it too expensive at $1.00 a jug? And changing the subject, Matt told me that Bryce Molder, who is currently playing some great golf on the PGA tour, is the son of Barry Molder. Can anyone confirm this? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 07:22:43 07/30/09 Thu Kevin, that is Barry Molder's son. He was born in Harrison and the family moved to Tulsa soon after. I think Barry lives in Conway now, Bryce went to college at Georgia Tech, made first team all-america all four years of college and was expected to be the next Tiger, just took him a few more years to get rolling, I guess. It's been fun to watch him this year. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 08:24:35 08/03/09 Mon Kevin, Bryce is indeed Barry's son. I had an opportunity to sit with Barry at a Conway HS football a couple of years back and catch up on old times. It was interesting hearing his perspective on Wild Bill. He said that he and the other coaches "scouted " us and that our tendency was to run Jackie to the side of the field that Bill was on! When they told him, he just laughed it off. I played golf with Robert Abney (Valley Springs) yesterday (he's a judge in Des Arc). He mentioned Rob and then asked if I knew where you were. I told him Plano area. Is that right? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 19:53:00 08/05/09 Wed I just checked in again after a few weeks away. Wow, what memories. I was friends with Robert Abney in high school. Some of the Valley Springs kids worked at our restaurant. Good to hear he's doing well. I also worked with Barry Molder when I was at Superior Bank a few years back and his son was just starting to be successful on the golf tour. I wasn't in Harrison for the early years, but I have some fond memories of the pranks of Greg, Richie, Kevin and some of the rest of the gang. Last year when I was in Florida, our small school celebrated Sadie Hawkins Day, so I dug through my old pictures and found some great pictures of Jackie, Greg, Kevin, and a few others in appropriate Dogpatch attire. I'm looking forward to the next reunion. I think I'll get to make that one! Thanks to all of you who have gotten in touch with me since I moved back to AR. Kathy [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 02:35:35 07/23/09 Thu Congrats Jerry! Thank you for serving this country and protecting our freedom. I am so proud of anyone that can stay with a job like that for that long. My Dad was in WW2, Invasion of Normandy, Omaha Beach where he served for 6 years. He came home from there and served 37 years in the State Police. He enjoyed several years of retirement before he passed away. I know we all "feel" older but as Dad always said "when it is your time it is your time". I truly believe that after all he saw, and I am sure you did also. You have fun during your retirement and enjoy life. You deserve it! I think you picked a good time to retire with the country in the mess it is in. Blessings my friend! Oh I do remember eating french fries and mustard Greg! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 23:10:27 07/19/09 Sun I hope everyone is enjoying the summer months. I teach at a middle school, so I'm off work right now. One of my grandsons spends a lot of time at my house over the summer, and he keeps me pretty busy. I saw an article about the drive-in theater (in Marshall I believe) and it reminded me of Harrison. It really was a good place to grow up. When I moved there the summer before 10th grade, it was so different and free. I was used to Fort Lauderdale, Florida and the dangers of trusting people that you didn't know. Harrison at that time was a place where everyone knew each other. I spoke with someone from the good old days recently, and was reminded of some good memories. I just wanted to say hi! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 02:49:34 07/23/09 Thu Hi Brenda. Aren't Grandkids fun! I thought I would slow down after my daughter married, but it seems like we go more than we use to, if that is possible. With 2 in events and games I can't keep up with them. I have kept Megan after school during the school year 3 days a week and now Kristen will be starting school. I kept both (at different times)during the day when they were young 2-3 days a week for about a year and a half. They stay so active. Dancing, gymnastics,cheering, soccer, softball, golf and church activities. They go to so many birthday parties and have play dates that it is hard to keep up with where they are! I would not trade them for anything in the world. I wish the rest of the summer would stay with weather like this but I know August is coming! It was nice to see your post!

You can enlarge the picture to full screen mode on the big picture on the right. I will also be doing some Holiday email cards that you can see on the site. I hope you enjoy!

Date Posted: 20:46:41 02/05/09 Thu The ice storm that hit Harrison last Tuesday was the worst disaster to hit this town since the 1961 flood. It came in two waves--one Monday night, the other all day and night Tuesday. It looked like a tornado had hit town except for the fact that houses were still standing. The some 60 trees in my yard were trimmed back by God. And now I have mastered the chainsaw for the first time in my life in order to tackle this huge ordeal, not to mention for rental houses with the tenants screaming bloody murder when their power went out (one asking what I was going to do about it). I replied "I could wave a magic wand a make it all go away." She didn't like that. She got her power on today, a week and a half after the initial storm. I'm telling you gang, this was something to behold. The skyline of Harrison is scarred for the time being. It will be years before it looks the same again, if it ever does. Hope not many of you suffered the same fate. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

It was horrible, but not nearly as bad as what happened in North Arkansas this year. We have sent crews to work in Paragould and Jonesboro the last two weeks to assist the utilities in those communities. My sister lives south of Fayetteville and still doesn't have power.

My oldest granddaughter played T ball and I remember us playing softball for many years. I never will forget the day I was playing 1st base and you made that slide and broke your arm. Megan wanted to slide and I told her please don't do that anymore. I never will forget your atm and how it looked. It was like two L's. That was the last year I played softball...actually I think it was my last game! Thank goodness she decided she likes soccer better because that memory has been installed in my head forever.

Favorite memory of him: he helped clean up some minor "halloween mischief" with a bunch of us, we'd sold halloween insurance to raise money for senior class. He handed me his camera and asked me to take a picture (he was rarely in photos, only took them), he was grinning, arm-in-arm with several classmates, and that photo is in our senior annual. Thanks for the information, Gordon. He was a great friend. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 14:47:12 08/04/08 Mon Malia, I remember the Halloween insurance. I wrote the ad for it and took it to the radio station and read it. Linda Dickey was with me and made spooky noises in the background while I was reading. I remember some people complaining that we would charge them for the insurance and then turn around and do damage. I don't remember doing any damage, but I believe my neighbor Dr. Ross Fowler had to have some clean-up done. I do remember me and Rickey Brasel and someone else out on Halloween night one year and Rickey knocked on someone's door and when they answered He threw an egg on their floor and ran. I remember the police cars chasing us down the alley between the Piggly Wiggly and the Rocket. You know, we were such a bad boys back then. Borderline criminals. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 17:59:38 08/05/08 Tue We all were bad! Wasn't it nice though that we could walk around town for all those years at night without our parents being afraid of someone getting us? I remember so many Halloween nights where there were groups of 20-30 people together. Yes we did do some crazy things...you boys and the eggs, the toliet paper and the shaving cream. OK the girls had the shaving cream, but it was so much fun that kids can not experience now! I also remember groups going after each other and hiding behind bushes. Mr. Milburm always had his scary music playing and was all dressed up. I think he had as much fun as we did! So many nights besides Halloween we were walking around in the summer going to all different people's houses. We would get them and go somewhere else. We had so much fun it makes me smile. I remember so much laughter! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 21:47:26 08/12/08 Tue Does anybody else remember throwing biscuit dough? I remember they came ten bisuits in a can for a dollar. We called them "whop" biscuits because that's how they sounded when you opened the tube. They stuck to everything. Yes, I'd say we were all living on the ragged edge!

Date Posted: 23:00:44 08/22/06 Tue Thanks for your email Becky. Greetings to all of you there "back home" in the Ozarks and to all of you who are now somewhere else. I didn't attend high school with you (unless of course the ninth grade counts) but I do remember many of you from elementary school (Skyline Heights) and Junior High. Hmmm...this does seem like a fun game - for sure a thought-provoking exercise. People our age need to exercise our minds as well as our bodies. Trying to remember things, such as the names and artists of popular songs of such a long-ago era, is probably a good way to stay sharp. It was kind of hard to come up with something but after thinking about it for a couple of days (I think it was just a couple of days since I received your email, Becky...maybe it was three or four...hmmm...I don't know, maybe it was yesterday...or last week...) I got up this morning, thought about it some more, ate some "brain food" (no oatmeal...hate cooked oatmeal, but I do like it right out of the box with cold milk but I don't have any), took my vitamin, my garlic pill, and my daily aspirin, drank a pot of coffee, then took a nap, and upon waking up I began to remember some of the names of some of those songs and even some of the names of the hippies who recorded them. Oh yes. Let' see now...there was 1. Up Around the Bend - Creedence Clearwater Revival 2. Lonely Days - The Bee Gees 3. The Letter - Joe Cocker's remake of the Box Tops hit and Holy Cow! look what a little nap and a little more coffe does for ones' memory and other related cerebral processing.! There's more! It's all coming back to me now. You only asked for three but I don't want to take too many liberties with this so I'll only offer two more. Just think of them as bonuses. I know they don't count. I mean this is a contest, right. And if I win you're going to send me some money or something, right? 4. The Tears of a Clown - Smokey Robinson and the Miracles 5. Don't Bogart that Joint - (I forgot the name of that band but I'm fairly certain they must have been some dope-smoking hippies or something like that) Ah yes...the music of 1970's (which of course includes music from the late sixties). Wasn't that, if my memory serves me right, the sound of things beginning to fall apart? Right. Needless to say, that may not seem to be as true anymore when we compare those days to the way things are going today. Then again, in my case anyway, that might just be an illusion (or a delusion?) brought about by "old age" and a longing for the good ol' days. Perhaps I should just take some Geritol (remember Ted Mack's Amateur Hour) and take another nap. I don't think so! I think being fifty and going on fifty-one is G=R-R-E-E-A-T! as Tony the Tiger would say. As I was reading some of the posts here I saw a remark one of you made about how you hated being fifty. I think it might have been Malia. Considering how unusual the name is (a very pretty name, though) I believe she must be the same girl who sat behind me (it might have been in front of me or beside me in the next row) in Mr. McCutcheon's 8th grade Math class. Nothing wrong with being fifty or fifty-one, or even fifty-two or more (for any of you who might have flunked a grade or two..hee hee...or just had a late birthday). It's just a number. I always disliked math anyway. Not that I couldn't do it, I just didn't like doing it. Inevitably, as one would expect, my dislike for it didn't help me very much when it was time for exams or report cards. But that girl named Malia in Mr. McCutcheon's math class did help to make things a little more fun and interesting because she was pretty friendly (and pretty, too) and she also gave me the answers sometimes to some of the problems on a test or which were part of a math homework assignment which I almost never even started to do until just a few minutes before it was time to review or turn in. I think I managed to get through that year of math with a C, which was pretty good for me, but I can't accept all the credit. Malia helped me out with that, that is until Mr. McCutcheon changed the seating arrangement and moved some people around for some reason. So anyway, thanks Malia for helping me out. Well, kids, it was nice skipping down memory lane with you. It's something I do a lot on my own anyway and when I do, it very often takes me back to those days and the time I spent there from 1965 through the summer of 1970. Those are mostly fond memories and always include many of you. Gotta go now. I need to go to a certain place where I know I'll find a certain politician who is running for office (state legislature) and torment him by bringing up things he doesn't like being brought up and asking a question or two which are always questions he hates anyone to ask. You know the kinds of questions I mean, the hard ones. The ones which cause some people to feel uncomfortable - like they suddenly got an itchy butt - or make funny faces like they just got a taste of something kinda bitter or nasty. I love doing that to those people. It gets some of them kinda mad at me though and that is sometimes a bit dangerous. But that's alright! Little do some of them know - and most find out too late - I thrive on that kind of stuff! Gotta keep a certain amount of excitement in the mix of things. Uncertainty always helps to make life interesting and fun! How boring life would be without it. Besides, it helps me stay young! Take care. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 14:57:43 07/18/08 Fri I just got a minute (a few actually) and read through the entire message board. I read John's thanking me for helping him through math and couldn't help replying and setting the truth straight! If I helped, we must have been doing basic. Mari Alice Watkins (my math hero) guided me through advanced math once she moved to Harrison. Both me and Jerry P. owe her many thanks for geometry and algebra and let's not forget how handy those little "cheat sheets" were when we were all wearing those short little dresses! But, it's nice to think that you (John) remember me for being helpful! Speaking of short dresses, some of you will appreciate the irony of this! I am the "dress police" at the middle school where I work. I have to measure the length of the shorts/dress against the length of a dollar bill. Every time I do it I remember the MANY times that Mr. Wilkins (study hall/band) used to send me to the office and I would have to call my mom to come bring me something else to wear. She hated that man. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

You would not believe some of the stuff I have found. Old pictures of many of you, a diary of a part of our first year of college, signs we use to put on the wall for football games that we signed, and somehow I got the paddle with holes in it that Mr. Watts used in Jr. High.

Date Posted: 20:09:04 05/13/08 Tue Let's hope Matt is okay and wasn't in his office at the time of the tornado. Several siren warnings went off here in Harrison. The most I've ever heard. There were supposedly cells to the west of us and just to the south, but after all of the warnings all we received was brief heavy rain. Richie, remember the spring of '73 when the tornado took a southerly path across Harrison while we were all in our first period classes. I was in Mrs. McCoy's English class when it all started. It's king of funny now but as the rain began to pour hard she said that it reminded her of the time she went through a tornado. Seconds later it became very quiet and dark and once again she said it reminded her of the tornado she once went through. A few minutes later she looked out the window of the class and saw her garbage cans flying across the high school parking lot. That's the last we saw of her that morning. She walked out of class and left us all setting there wondering what to do next. I remember us all gathering in the hallways--some setting, some standing. I remember Tommy Matthews saying that if we'd actually been hit by a tornado the school would have been wiped out. The school really had no plan at the time for such an event. At least that was my recollection. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

For Matt, man, there's no telling what they'll find in the debris. I'll bet the National Enquirer has sent a team of reporters down there already. ps...I'm glad he's safe and all is okay.

Date Posted: 18:27:39 05/25/08 Sun I am very sorry to here about Matt's office. At least no one was hurt. I had an Entergy person check on friends of my Mom's that live there and they had some damage also. This has really been horrible this year. Atkins was destroyed 1st and that went over our house. The straight line winds that came through here did so much damage you can not imagine. We have heard more sirens this year than I think of all my adult life! Greg remember when we were in Conway with Lionel and you in the trailer and the hail hit. Windows were breaking out and our cars were demolished. That was a really bad storm. I urge each of you to please look into getting a safe room if you do not have a basement. When you see what can happen in these towns and the lifes lost you must take heed. Has anyone decided if we are going to have a 35th? I totally understand if we don't and why people do not want to work on it. I had fun at the last one and would like to mark my calender if we do.

Date Posted: 16:13:52 05/28/08 Wed Becky, I certainly remember the storm that hit our trailor when we were at UCA. But I don't remember Lionel being there. Of course, it was his dad's trailor and Lionel and Steve Beeler lived there with me, but I believe they were gone to class or elsewhere when it hit. I remember you, a girfriend of yours and me being the only ones there. (I always had at least two girls at my side during college.) We ended up in my little bedroom when the storm hit, and could hear the windows breaking out of the trailor as the large hailstones strafed the trailor, and your Triumph and my Monte Carlo, as we rode it out. Had it been a tornado we would have been history. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

One of the ladies here was talking about going to her 30th reunion this summer. I told her that I wished for her and her classmates just HALF of the fun that we had. I know it is hard and we are all busy. Maybe we could just go somewhere that had enough rooms for us all and spend the night and just catch up?

What happend to the NEW field on Goblin Drive? I hope this year they dont brag It is the last year on Crooked Creek. Wait until they finish the new stadium befor they call it quites.

But the radio and newspaper should have waited until the new stadium was ready befor calling it the "last game on the banks of Crooked Creek" like they did last year. I need to drive by and see just how much (if any) work they hav done. I went by about a month ago and they were still working on the ground work. Let you know soon. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

It will be several pages back, but there are some great photos of the new stadium and talk about its progress. Gets kind of political, but it's a long thread and does have some good info.

Date Posted: 23:23:44 10/11/07 Thu I sure hope that they still have the old stadium next year when we may be able to make a trip up there. My mom had surgery for breast cancer a few weeks ago and even though she looks 60 and acts 30 she will soon be..well she would be mad if I told LOL. I saw Elaine Ashley McCutcheon when Mom was in the hospital and told her about the reunion. Hopefully she will be there for this one. She sounded interested! Although Mom really did not need any of my help, I made her stay at the house a whole 2 nights and the last night she was here I broke my ankle and tore ligaments...I was asleep on the couch, got up, my foot was asleep and I did a good number on it. I would love to go to one last game there...maybe at our reunion if they are still playing there. I LOVE the stadium on Crooked Creek even though I know the town is probally ready for a new stadium. I remember the smell and the fog coming up from the creek so well! Great Memories, Great Times and Great Friends! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Sorry, we have no way of knowing if it will be ready this fall, but things look good at this point. It would have been nice to see the last game in the 'Old Goblin Satdium' Espicaly if it happen to be our 35 anniversary. Thats something I never saw a football or basketball game when we were in school or after. Oh well, I never was much for sports. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

If I had been there for a little longer, I would have checked in on you (I guess that is fair warning). [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 09:17:36 07/17/07 Tue Jim I really wished you would have called me. What did you do here in town? No one ever comes to Russellville and if you do not have my email let me know so I can give you phone numbers. It would have been nice to see you. If you were at the college here you probally were close to where my daughter is. She works there in the Academic Affairs office which is right under the president of the college. She will be finishing her masters in December (with all A's so far). We are proud of her. She has been taking 2 classes a semester, working full time, raising 2 kids ages 3 and 5 now and many other activities she is involved with. My grandkids are on a billboard in Harrison if anyone gets up that way. It is around Belfonte on Hwy 65. There are 2 billboards in one. The top one is for Mickey D's and then the bottom one is for the hospital that has their pictures on it. Next time you are in town please call me Jim. We would love to see you.

Date Posted: 21:38:16 07/18/07 Wed Hey, Becky. When in R'ville, I looked at some land adjacent to the campus, sort of at the back corner. I also met with the owner and his broker. Tried to strike a deal but failed (got outbid by a competitor). What is your daughter's masters program (student personnel? just guessing because of the student affairs connection). She sounds phenomenal with all she's juggling. Go ahead and email your contact numbers - it may be a while, but it's likely that I will get back there sometime. My eldest son graduated Princeton in June. He was tapped for Phi Beta Kappa (top 10%). Considering the competition, I'm still in awe. He's going to work in Dallas in the fall; at least he didn't get sucked into the northeast after being there 4 years. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 21:47:05 05/20/07 Sun Cheryl has been real involved in maintaining and protecting the prairie. There is a club at the high school called "Keepers of the Prairie" that routinely cleans and patrols the prairie. I think Cheryl sponsors that club. One of the "uncomfortable" decisions that school district made a few years ago was to build the new middle school in its present location. Many "friends of the prairie" thought it would infringe on the prairie. The district owned enough land to build the building, unfortunately, about two of those eight acres were on the designated prairie. A pretty involved campaign was begun to convince the school to trade that property and build somewhere else, leaving the prairie untouched. Bottom line, the school couldn't find an acceptable alternate spot, built right there, and did have to excavate and use its part of the prairie, mainly to build holding ponds, etc to protect the rest of Baker Prairie from erosion and watershed. The school's acreage was a very small percent of the total prairie (I think it's about 65 acres) but still left a few upset patrons. Cheryl as done an admirable job of still being pleasant to the board members who made that decision. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 19:20:47 04/20/07 Fri Some sad news to report. Virginia Earnest died this morning, Friday April 20th. There were no specifics given in the paper concerning her death. Although I have heard that she had fallen, and that hastened her death. Her actual obituary will probably be in Sunday's paper. I remember my senior year when all of her former students from the class of '73 went over to the kindergarten to have our pictures made with her. She told me that she wanted to stand by me during the photo. I remember, as many of you do, how small the chairs and tables appeared after all those years of being away from the little house we met in. I have plenty of memories from that brief time of my life. I believe it was about 1960 for most of us, wasn't it? Anyway I remember that when anyone became sick and had to go to the hospital that she would always visit them and bring them a puzzle. I had hoped that someday I would get sick so that I could get one of those puzzles. Quirkey, huh. Well,sure enough the doctor told my parents that I had to have my tonsils taken out, and there I was against the odds, in the hospital waiting for Miss Earnest to come through the door with my puzzle. And she did, and I was thrilled that I had that prized puzzle. Living in Harrison for years, now, I have visited with Mrs. Earnest many times. She was always excited to see her former students, she had so many of course, and was always ready to talk about those kindergarten years. She was full of life to the end (remember, she never missed a teaching day in 50 years) and will be missed by hundreds of former students. Any memories of Mrs. Earnest and her kindergarten that someone else would like to share? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 17:14:31 04/22/07 Sun Sad to hear that she has died. I, too, have very fond memories of kindergarten. I remember dresing in our Halloween costumes and having our class picture taken. (That picture is floating around on the internet somewhere--one of my clients found it and told me about it.) I noticed on my recent trip to Harrison that the old kindergarten schoolhouse has deteriorated and it appears that it is used as a storage area. That, too, is sad. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 00:35:02 04/27/07 Fri I moved to Harrison my 1st grade year so I did not go to Mrs. Earnest. Jennifer, my daughter, did though and I was thrilled to have her there. Jennifer LOVED Mrs. Earnest. She learned how to be a "little lady" and she still loves singing and dancing which she is teaching her daughters now. Mrs. Earnest had the girls wear dresses when Jennifer went there, and she also had them bring healthy snacks. I am very sorry to hear this news, but she did bring a lot of values in many children's life's. God Bless Her! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Unfotunately, possibly because of all of the rain, the elk were not grazing in the field across the highway from the Lost Valley entrance as they had been on my previous two visits. Turning now to your comments, Richie, I have two questions for you. What is Jim's Bluff? Why would it be difficult to hike in and out? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

It was a great place, but the road was terrible and steep. Hiking in would be okay, but you'd have to walk up the mountain to get out.

Date Posted: 18:31:50 03/24/07 Sat No Al Green this time, Richie. Maybe Al Dimeola, though. He put out some great music in the early 80's. His keyboardist was Jan Hammer. Remember him? He played with the lightening fast guitarist John McGlaughlin in the Mahavishnu Orchestra in the 70's. He wrote the theme for "Miami Vice." Dimeola is a master acoustic guitarist, too. I'm sure that I can find something eternally romantic for my deserted island date to listen to.

I guess we'll not hear the hand trumpet anymore, or have to worry about tilting back in our chairs and writing the Civics chapter backwards. He was a great guy. Odd thing, if my math is right, he was only about 40 when he taught us in junior high. I thought he was an old man. I hope everybody else has good memories of him, as I do.

Date Posted: 23:44:39 12/24/06 Sun Here I sit, almost midnight on Christmas. I've been playing santa, setting out presents for my kids. Bad thing is, they're 19 and 17. I still like it. No bikes to put together, just easy things like skirts, books, iPods. Isn't it great to be a daddy? Hope all have a great holiday season and get to hug family and "feel the love" [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 09:34:23 12/19/06 Tue The signs of the holiday season -- the first falling leaves, the first Christmas lights,smell of smoke from the fire places. The wind is, at the moment, silent. If I lift my head up from my book, I can see my family’s farm in the past, in a gust that has just passed, flecks of snow rising like spray from an ocean of trees. A crackling fire a warm fire place, with my family about the house. A warm cup of coffee in one hand, some excellent reading in the other, and life is pretty fine. Life was much simpler in the good old days. Today, I hope the same is true with you, wherever you might be. It’s been a fine, fun year, and one I’ll not forget for some time. Be well, be safe, and enjoy your holiday. Hopefully everyone will be safe, warm and happy. — I’ll see you in the 2008, if not before. Merry Christmas to all, to each a good night.

Date Posted: 12:20:26 12/18/06 Mon Merry Christmas everyone. I just read Nov. messages and got caught up. Everything is good . I don't know about the new Goblin Stadium. I think they will be at the creek next year unless they get a fire built under them and move some dirt. The creek will be missed, when the move is made. Hope everyone is well, and I don't like to see funerals posted on here. They make me sad. Barbara I would of loved to seen you but logged on to late. Do you still have long dark hair and what do you do now. We would to see you at the reunions. Merry Christmas everyone and have a safe and blessed New Year.

Date Posted: 16:06:38 11/14/06 Tue Barbara Bennett Conley's sister, Diana, passed away Sunday at her home in Norman Oklahoma. Services will be held Saturday November 18th in Harrison at 10:00 A.M. I will not be able to attend, because we already made plans to go to Branson the next day on the 19th. We are going to try to make it by Barbara's house on Sunday to see her before she leaves to head home to Chicago. Barbara said to tell people to come by her parents house if they can not attend the funeral. If anyone is going to be in Branson that week, email me and I will give you my cell phone number. We will be staying until Thursday morning. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 08:15:15 10/30/06 Mon The Goblins played the last game on the banks of Crooked Creek October 20, 2006. They will move to a new stadium next season located at the new high school. According to the Harrison Daily Times, they'd played in Goblin Stadium for 77 years. Appropriately, the Goblins came from behind in the fourth quarter to defeat Alma. Did anyone attend the game? Had I realized it was the last game, I would have been there. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 17:51:35 11/01/06 Wed Sad to see this. Does anybody know what the school district plans to do with the stadium? Although the Goblins have played at the stadium for the last 77 years (I will assume for present purposes the accuracy of the Harrison Daily Times article), there was one year during that time they did not play at the stadium. Two trivia questions: (1) What was the year? and (2) Where did they play the year they did not play at the stadium? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 17:32:18 11/03/06 Fri This really makes me sad. I loved that stadium. I sure hope they keep it there for some reason or another. To this day I can smell the fog rising from the creek to start off football season. Even on hot days that creek helped the air stay nice and clear and crisp. Richie I would have rode up there with you if I would have known it was going to be the last game played there. I do not remember the year they had the games at Wrigley field but I think it was to put in new bleachers. Anyone remember the flag football games we had on Sunday afternoons in the field behind the football field? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 07:10:33 11/04/06 Sat Great job, Bob! Sorry, no prize--just an acknowledgment by your classmates of your great memory! Becky, as I am sure Bob would tell you also, the reason the Goblins moved to Wheeler Stadium is the destruction caused by the flood in May, 1961. I have very vivid, though spotty, recollections of the aftermath of the flood. In particular, I remember the destruction it caused in the area surrounding Goblin Stadium. As many of you may recall, there were houses right on the creek where the parking lot is now located that were washed away by the flood. We 50-somethings may not remember what we said 1 minute ago, but we have great recollection of events that occurred 45 years ago. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 10:41:38 11/04/06 Sat We moved to Harrison weeks after the flood, in fact lived on South Vine just above the creek, the town was still very much recovering from the effects of that terrible event. Going to Wheeler Stadium is my first recollection of seeing a high school football game. I think Coach Quattlebaum was the coach in 1961. Does anyone know what plans they have for the old stadium? I would imagine that the new Goblin Stadium will have the latest facilities. Even though our Goblins were nailed by Siloam Springs last night,17-0, they still are in the playoffs, but travel the long road to White Hall next Friday night. Go Goblins Go.

Date Posted: 23:47:24 11/06/06 Mon There have been lots of issues with the new stadium. Initially planned as a huge upgrade to the existing stadium and spearheaded by the Goblin Booster Club, Fed Ex got the ball rolling with a million dollar donation (100,000 per year/ten years). Even though there was an outpouring of pledges from the community, the project looked dead in the water for a while, just too many wants (better track, soccer use of field, indoor facility,etc etc) for the sixe of the property, plus still not enough money (mostly pledges, not cash in hand). Also, Arkansas school law made it illegal for the Club to renovate Goblin Stadium since it is owned by the district (the school itself had to do the improvements). Many in the Booster Club preferred to oversee the details rather than donate all money to the district and hope for the best. Probably a good decision (once off-site land was obtained), it kept the Booster Club in charge of details and kept the school board from having to plan and answer for every little aspect of the project (it's not your typical stadium, pretty upscale). Sheridan Garrison stepped up and appeared to adopt the entire project, and everybody got excited. His tragic death hit everybody really hard, and the project lost momentum. His sons, however, made good on his pledge by purchasing and donating 30 acres (plus Dr. Chamber's donation of 10) just behind the high school, site of current construction. Mosco Cash donated a huge chunk of money to help with he indoor facility. Plans are to finish the project and donate it, with the remaining land, to the school district. The school will then build a new high school (grades 9-12) on the land (after a millage vote), Jr. High (7-8) will move to the high school bldg and all will be beautiful. Several issues remain: Will there really be enough money to pay for it? Will the pledges come in? The school can't accept the "gift" if there are outstanding debts on it. Substantial expenses also loom ahead for the school....new astroturf in 10-12 years, maintaining the facility, etc. Part of me wishes that the project had been kept smaller and left at the creek, but I'm sure when I see the new place I'll be excited, and ten years from now, we'll all be very proud of it and not wish for the creek at all. Hats off to the Booster Club, they have REALLY persevered and carried this project. important disclaimer: I was on the School Board when this started, but am not now. This was my own personal rambling, not in any way "insider knowledge." It's probably not even factual, since it's pretty late at night. I just wanted my old classmates to have some history of the project. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 07:46:33 07/28/06 Fri Hey, I would like to take a moment to share some changes that are taking place in my life this year. I will be working with Josh McDowell in 2007 developing my Ministry to go Texas wide by end of 2008. My Ministry is teaching Teenagers the concept of outreach and living a Godly life through example and leadership. We intend to publish my book under Josh Ministries in 2007. Additionally I have been selected this coming season to be an Alternate official in the SEC. Probably will not officiate any football games but I will at least get to be on the sidelines for a D1 conference. I will continue to call games with the Ft. Worth chapter. By the way thanks for all the post keeping everyone up to date. Good to read about all of our favorite music, I knew there was something that could get a group stirred up and looks as though Becky found it. See you in 2008.

In your SEC officiating, if you ever run into an official named Mike New, tell him I said "hello". He and I used to be in the same Sunday School class here in Conway. He started right where you will...on the sideline. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Luckily we caught one on an EKG (it was up to 186) and they will use a procedure called abalation. To top all that off, I was having trouble with my left eye so I had it checked and I now have optic apathy. We will find out the cause of it the same day as my heart surgery.

Date Posted: 10:42:37 01/20/06 Fri "Wonder Could I Live There Anymore," a song by Charlie Pride made me think about Harrison. I spent some time thinking about returning to Harrison for retirement. I contacted Ralph about home listings, but after much prayer and deliberation Janet and I decided not to return. It is a very difficult decision for me, I recall moving to Harrison in the summer of 1969. Being a military brat moving from Ft Bragg NC to the laid back town of Harrison truly was a culture shock for me. NC a state where Basketball was the sport, but in Arkansas I found the wonderful king of sports FOOTBALL. I have many fond memories of Harrison. One being, what was the sound being made during study hall the week of the Texas/Arkansas game??? Well, I came to realized I must adapt to the sound of Wooo Pig Sooie!!

Date Posted: 19:10:34 09/25/05 Sun Houston dodged the bullet big time from Rita. We were packed and ready to go with 14 dogs, 4 cats and a macaw until Rita turned towards Louisiana. Believe the stories about people being on the road for 12 - 24 hours and not getting more than 30-50 miles - the stories are all true. I have several friends an co-workers who personally experienced it. We personally didnt' even get enough rain to get the driveway wet and no more leaves or branches down than a good thunderstorm.

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.

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.

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.

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 ] |

Author: Greg Carlton [ Edit | View ] |
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 ] |
