] Date Posted: 11:15:19 07/08/05 Fri The Harrison Daily Times had an obituary in last night's (7/07/05) paper for Charles Jenkins, age 77. He passed away after a long illness. 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. He's survived by his wife and four children (three still live in Harrison). [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 10:21:21 07/19/05 Tue It's sad to hear about Charlie Jenkins passing away. I had him for Civics as I'm sure most of you did. In my opinion, he was a great guy. He seemed to enjoy teaching. His Study Hall was absolutely out of control when he played the hand trumpet accompanied by Lee Starkey doing the "chainsaw". [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 16:24:39 07/27/05 Wed Mr.Jenkins will forever be remembered in my book as "Charlie Tuna" but with the upmost respect for the kind of man he was and the lessons about being a citizen he taught us. God Speed Mr.Jenkins. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 09:27:13 08/01/05 Mon Mike Masterson, columnist and HHS alum, spoke fondly of Mr. Jenkins in his article titled "'65 Reunion Looms" (Arkansas Democrat Gazette July 30). If you're from Harrison, it's worth a read. He talks about classmates and some instructors. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 00:01:18 02/17/07 Sat My condolences to Mr. Jenkins and his family. He was very admired by all and will be remembered. I sometimes think of us all being young again, and in our hearts we are. Time chagnes and bad news seems to come about way too often these days. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 07:29:45 08/10/05 Wed Great to see all the messages. Has anyone talked to Jackie Mathis lately? I haven't seen or visited with anyone much since the reunion (except Lindie Dickey Melton, Michael Ervin, Bob Ech and occassionally Mari A)but I still think of you all often. Can't wait for the next reunion. Hope that all you living in Harrison have the energy to plan another one! Malia [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 20:54:11 08/10/05 Wed We also lost Corene Hall our third grade teacher at Eagle Hights, she later taught special education at Eagle and Jr, High. She was 88 when she died June 23, 2003. As for Leland Starkey..He can not do his "chain saw" as he has emphysema and asthma. But he is still working. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 08:54:47 08/11/05 Thu I had Corine Hall for 3rd grade! Several of our class did. She was one of my favorite teachers. What a nice lady. Sorry to hear that Lee isn't doing well. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 22:50:04 01/26/07 Fri Makes me wonder about all of the teachers at the old EHS. I know that Almeda Tilley Hickman Dwyer (5th gr.) died in 2002 in Stuttgart, she was 89. I last heard that Mrs. Purselley was still living in Harrison. I was in SW MO a couple of years ago and took a few hours off to drive to Harrison. I visited the old neighborhood and the school, which is now a retirement condo. The 1-4 grade building has been torn down (remember 'the ramp'?) [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
