] Date Posted: 16:44:33 07/08/08 Tue In reply to: Gordon Duncan 's message, "Argie Duncan Jr." on 23:35:13 07/06/08 Sun I am sorry to hear about Argie. He was a very likeable guy--easy to talk to and always positive. Sharp, too. I am curious--did Argie go to school grades 1-12 in Harrison or did he move to Harrison during his school years?

Date Posted: 06:08:13 07/23/08 Wed I am so sorry to hear about Argie. He was one of the special characters in our class. Always very kind, and as others have mentioned, always smiled. He was never without that camera, too. I missed him at reunions, and wondered how he was but could never find anybody that knew about him. 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: 10:26:22 07/28/08 Mon Richie, I had forgotten about the halloween insurance. That was so much fun. Did we do the damage and then clean? My mind isn't what it used to be! Malia [ 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!
