Right! Like that was the only Heckmann story floating around. Most probably only marginally true, but who cares?you shoulda been there to protect yourself. Reasonable!

Thank you for sharing the reunion photos!  I almost feel as if I had attended; it was so good to see everyone having fun.  Sorry to have missed and looking forward to the 50th reunion.

Well, I got the slide show of the reunion and it's great ! I got sentimental, then I laughed, then I saw some eyes looking where they should not of been looking . it was very funny.  Lol I had them put music to the show and it's really good. I will enjoy it and if anyone wants to see it just let me know. Take care everyone, Roxy

Roxy - I would love to see the pics. Let me know where to go to find them. Everyone who planned & executed this reunion and the last one are "first class". This is not to say the other reunions were not; it's just that I couldn't attend due to "real-world" events.

I for one am amazed at the lack of understanding of the importance of our military.  Not just current, though without them China and Russia would be our leaders, but past military to defend 'our' American freedoms and values around the world.  I hope our Veterans know, I KNOW how important you are!  HAPPY VETERANS DAY!

David, thanks for your post acknowledging Veterans Day.  I agree wholeheartedly with your opinion.  Being from a family of veterans (father, uncles, and all three brothers), I am aware of the sacrifices of our heroes in uniform.  One of my uncles served in the Korean War and one brother served in Viet Nam.  A belated happy Veterans Day to you, David.  And thank you for your service!   Linda

Your words touched me Linda.  My thanks to all the patriotism displayed in your family too!

I remember Jim’s  blonde hair, his sweet smile, and his sincere kindness to all. He was a stand up guy. It is tragic that he passed away at such a young age. It would have been awesome to see what he would have contributed to our world. Some things we simply don’t understand. I love reading all the memories of such a great guy.   Warm thoughts to all of you. It really was “the good old days”.  Makes me smile.   Toni

Jim and I "traded disks" in the 5th grade (Mrs. Bass, Bell Elementary).  We explored the woods between our houses and found a disecting hut (ugh).  Jim was so smart.  Wish I had known him better.

Would anyone be up for a zoom meeting for those of us who cannot attend the reunion in person?  I could set it up on my zoom account.  If anyone is interested, let me know.  Probably Friday night or Saturday night, dates of the reunion.  Kathy Beggs Bailes

 

P.S.  This is my "Covid turned my hair green" photo. Taken last St. Patrick's Day, of course.

Only one person who isn't attending the reunion is interested in a zoom meet up.  We will just look at your photos and videos of the events.  Enjoy.

The 50th reunion was great fun!  Friday evening's locale was perfect. Its was amazing to see some '71 grads for the first time since graduation and almost pick up where we left off. 

Thanks as usual to the planning committee, several of you who have been involved in prior reunions. Those of us who do not live in Tyler really appreciate your time and efforts on behalf of all of us. Thank you!

I agree with Steve.

Thank you to the organisers for their excellent work.

And thank you for allowing Bil Colthurst (from the class of '72) to attend as a guest.

I came across an article about Neil Diamond and his celebration of career.  Remembering that I attended a concert of his with Jeff Buntz, I looked up Diamond's concert schedule and sure enough, found it.  Did anyone else attend this concer?

Scott Reeves

Yes, I was there. I distinctly remember it. I also remember a joke he made about Cherry, Cherry that he could never and, I assume. would never tell today. My wife and I saw him again about 5 years ago in Austin.

Kathy,

  I actually remember that concert!! Can't remember who my date was, but I seem to remember that Neil was either drunk or drugged up. He slurred quite a bit. But then again, I probably wasn't the most sober person back then either!! If there is going to be a "gathering" this year like last year, I would definitely like to know so I can plan in advance. I am competely retired now but play a lot of golf and when hunting season is here, I'm in the woods. If it's around May, no issue because golf is anytime and there's nothing I'm interested in hunting in May. If you, or anyone else, knows of plans to gather just for a social evening, I'm in. I live in College Station and it's a 2 hour drive. Have a blessed day.

I may be imagining this, but I am pretty sure I saw ZZ Top at a "coffee shop" in a strip center in Tyler sometime in 1969-70.  This was a place set up for young people, with no chairs, where new bands came in to "jam".  Does anyone else remember that?  I looked up ZZ Top and they were just getting started around that time, from Houston.

Robert Gentry

Yes, they played there at least couple of times while in town recording their first albums at Robin Hood Brians' studio. I was working there as a recording engineer apprentice at the time.  If we are talking about the same place, it was called  "The Lighthouse" and located in the tiny strip center on Front street between the railroad tracks and where the Fuller's restaurant used to be.  I think the place is now a Rent a Center.  Anyway, the owner was Ronnie Bradshaw who had the Stereo and Video Center.  Wild times seeing those loud and powerful shows there with just chairs and pillows for seating, and very few people in the place on a week night.  On weekends,  it was pretty packed.

FYI, They also played at the downtown Pancho's Mexican Buffet when there were some concerts in that building, and also at the old American Legion Hall.  Pretty intense music when they were lean and mean.

Yep, among the lucky ones to see one of the performances at the Lighthouse (with Mayfield). $5 admission and bring your own pillow. Bob, a little birdy told me that Dusty Hill actually used your bass on some of the tracks, a fine story that I choose to believe. Y'all check out "ZZ Top: That Lil' Ol' Band From Texas" on Netflix.  Great documentary of the band; RHB talks about the recording and lotsa other anecdotes. (Better hurry. I think it's only gonna be shown through the end of February).  And while we're on the topic..anyone else see Sam & Dave at Caldwell Auditorium way back then?

Dear REL class of 1971. Merry Christmas. Y'all are invited to a meet and greet on Friday, December 15, 2023 at Hollytree Country Club, 6:00 pm. Cocktails and snacks are available, courtesy of Van and Candy Jordan. No RSVP is required, just show up. Hope to see you there. 🎅🏼

Van,

  Thanks for organizing and hosting this. Perfect timing also; I was driving to my farm in Haynesville, Louisiana on Saturday morning and I have decided to just leave College Station on Friday, check into the Hilton Garden Inn right there on East Grande, attend the gathering, and  leave Saturday morning for the farm. Be nice to see everyone and catch up on what's happening in Tyler these days. Thanks again and look forward to seeing everyone.

V/R,

Randy Gholson

Thanks to all the 71 classmates who attended the meet and greet at Hollytree. Great to see everyone and keep connected. Good times!
