Beverly-

It looks like you folks did a quality job on your 50th Reunion.  I would like to congratulate you and all those on your committee for an excellent execution.  It’s a lot of work and worry to pull off.  After all that hard work I would hate to see anyone on the committee come up short on the finances.  I see that you are selling DVD’s of the photo’s taken at the Reunion as well as photos from the past for reminiscing.  I hope that you are contacting all the classmates to make them aware of the DVD.  You probably had a commercial company prepare the DVD  at a cost to arrive at the $35 figure.  You might want to let folks know how many you need to sell to cover your costs.  Reunion photos become precious quickly as life takes its toll.  So I would encourage your classmates to grab a DVD at the first opportunity.  You’ll find yourself looking over them a lot more than you thought you would.

You are SO right.....Not only a lot of hard work but then the time and energy to track people down or to try and recoop your losses....Hope everyone that said they wanted  DVD will come forward and get theirs....I was thinking about asking you if you had extras to sell to anyone even if not class of 68. Could be old friends you know. Were any on the school tour on the Saturday morning of your reunion included in the DVD.....Some may want to get it so they can have pictures of the original school.....

Good Luck getting them sold....

The alumni pix taken last month I can tell you on the front row in a marroon blouse is Beverly( Mead )Webster and she graduated 1964.

Judy Maxwell (1971)

Just an FYI......I got the following email from Mr. Summers the principal at SAM HOUSTON:

Summers, Alan L

Greetings, Tigers! 

We are excited to hear that you plan to attend Tiger Open House on December 15^th from 2:00-7:00 pm! 

As you may be aware, we will begin the Spring semester on January 7^th in our new building.  This means that between now and December 21^st (the last day of this semester), teachers and staff will be packing for the move.  I mention this because I want you to be aware that the building will likely appear a bit less orderly than usual as we will be in the midst of the sorting and packing process. 

We will have extra yearbooks from some years as well Sam Spirit Wear available to purchase.  It had been our hope that we would have bricks and locker fronts available on December 15^th.  However, we were made aware last week by the construction team that getting bricks and locker fronts while the building is still in use is not going to be possible.  Please do not worry.  We WILL have bricks, locker fronts, and mementos from the gym available for sale to support our scholarship fund by mid-January and will publicize the date and times by emailing everyone who has signed up for the December 15^th event and posting on our school website and on Twitter. 

My Reply to him:

So we know there will be a delay until January on the items they are selling....If you are interested in getting a paver bought with your name and year of graduation please keep an eye on this site for updates to the schools answer to that.

Thanks

Judy

Hey where is everyone??? No topics you want to mull over?? I am heading to Houston this week-end to get the last of my Christmas shopping done and my Brother is having a Birthday on Saturday the 15th,,,he graduated from Sam also.

The Sam Houston "Open House" tour will be going on Saturday from 2-7 PM. I will try and make it by at some point but I am going to the Vereran's Cemetery for the Laying of the Wreaths. I have a couple of family members buried there and Danny and I always sponser 2 wreaths each year for the ceremony. This year I am also participating in laying wreaths on the graves, So it will be a full week-end of celebration.

Maybe I will run into some of you at the Open House

Be Safe

Just this morning I learned of the passing of another of our alumni family, Lynna Kay Shuffield, class of 1975.  Will post funeral arrangements when I hear.

Mary DE Lois Finch (Brown) (1960)

Hi Judy,

Both my parents are buried at the VA Cemetary.  They share 1 grave near the memorial on the circular drive.  My grandson's memorial was there but his mom kept his ashes.  I don't know if there is a plaque for him or not. Who did you contact to volunteer to lay wreaths.  I would love to do that perhaps next year.

Hello Judy,I have beeN trying to get well think I finally turned the corner.What time do you think you might be at Sam Houston tomorrow?I would like to see you and Shirley both.Try to get back with me please, I'm not going to stay long for I have way to much to do in 10 days.

Todd Applegate (1969)

Well, it’s 5:15 on Saturday the 15th and I’m here at SHHS. Seem the tour had been put off as the new building isn’t ready. They were giving tours of the old building, which I’ve already seen. Heard that the tour is going to be  in February.  If anyone hears something, post it.  Happy Holidays, everyone!

Joseph Harris (1974)

So great to see my classmates and childhood friends today at the December 15th tour. 

So many good memories! Handshakes and hugs will never be forgotten!

Happy Holidays to all!

Blessing of love, joy, peace and prosperity to all!

Wreaths across America is who you can contact. You can go online and volunteer. It is a very rewarding thing for me. I have sponsered wreaths with them for a few years now and this year was part of the laying of the wreaths. We layed 45,000 Saturday!!

Judy Maxwell (1971)

Rita,

Yes it was the old school tour again and I have been there twice in the last few months. I know with all the bad weather the work is behind schedule and when I got the email about the delay in the sale of items.....Saturday was Bubba's birthday and I also had volunteered to go lay the wreaths at the Veterans Cemetery.....I helped lay 45,000 it was a great program and ceremony and when I finished with that Shirely and I had some running to do.....getting ready for Christmas...I went by the school around 6 and it was pretty much over with then.

Any time you want to meet up with us just call one of us ....I am not always looking at this site or FB....We could have run with you last week-end.

I am coming back on Friday night and we will get with Martha and her family Saturday to do Christmas and them we will be at Shirleys' son's in-laws on Christmas Eve. then Mom's Christmas Day....Give us a shout if you wnat to join us Friday night for supper (Shirley, Bubba and me) Shirley is getting some better.,,, thanks for asking. I wore her out on Saturday.....goinmg from one store to another. We started around Noon and ended up around Midnight.

Looking forward to starting off the new year with the Happy Hour in January.....See you then Rita if not before!!
