We are so happy to have Carol's open again here in Thorndale.  They have catered our Homeoming luncheons for the last several years.  Owned and operated by Freddie Wuensche, Class of 1959 and wife, Carol Walther Wuensche, Class of 1963.  They haven't committed to cater our next Homecoming, but we're still working on them.

Speaking of Homecoming, a date should be set this next Wednesday or Thursday according to Athletic Director, Coach Jeff Lieberman.  Then we can get with it in making our plans.

Noticed in the newspaper that John Gilchrist, class of 1962 will be ordained as a deacon at Meadowbrook Baptist Church on Sunday, February 24. Our congratulations to John.

Now for a few of our exes that we know of that have never been added to our rosters.  We seem to have better results with these than we do with updating the ones we lose each year.  Do let us hear from you if you know the whereabouts of any of our exes as they move around.

A real nice photo and announcement in the newspaper of the upcoming marriage of Jason Glenn Schwarz, Class of 2000.  Jason received the Charles Gutzler Memorial Scholarship and went on to graduate from Texas A & M University with a bachelor of science degree in kinesiology.  Jason is employed by Sam Houton State University and pursuing his masters in business adminitration.  He is the son of Glenn Schwarz, Class of 1976 and wife, Donna Caffey Schwarz, Class of 1978 of Taylor.  Now, his wife to be, Alisha David, is the granddaughter of the late Bert shavers, Class of 1948 who died March 9, 1998 and the late Bobbie Nell Sides Shavers, Class of 1951 who died May 13, 1999.  We could trace these two families way back as they come from a long line of exes.  Our congratulations and best wishes to Jason and Alisha.

A little more scholarship history, in 1995 we only gave four scholarships. The ex-students received enough money to give out three of the four and they went to Adam Fisher, Brandy Jordan and Craig Waiser.  The third Preston White Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Anthony Dominguez.  We know that Adam and Anthony went on to receive degrees from their respective colleges.

We will try again to find some of our "lost" exes, but will need your help to find them.
         Class of 1981 - Danny Maxwell and Lacy Pfeiffer

The last known city where they last received mail is listed.  We have 147 exes on our rosters without addresses.  These are folks who have received invitations in the past but moved and left no forwarding address.  In some cases, the post offices went on and forwarded our invitations and then next year the forwarding order was expired.  We hve every envelope printed with "Return Service Requested" which means return to us with the correct address and we are happy to pay the extra postage to have the updated address and we re-mail the invitation with a new postage stamp on it.  Some post offices are so good and ours is one of them, but some will never comply.  Our hands are tied in this case and we have to depend on you to help us.  And we do appreciate all the help we can get.


 
 
Be sure to keep us in mind when you hear of an ex-student's move for a change of address, a marriage, death or an achievement of any kind that we would be interested in hearing about. 

If you have any information for us or if you need information from us, just give us a call or let us know in any way and we'll do what we can to help.  We love to hear from our exes.
