Do you still see/talk to/hang out with any classmates? Who?

Lunch with Rocky Crownover and Gordon Brown , ran into Bob Babst by total accident , he has a farm 100 miles east of Wichita and I do as well , I was looking for the guy with a load of fish for my pond and I pulled into Bob's drive to ask if he had seen the fish guy and I saw that it was Bob , he didn't recognize me at first so I told him I was from the nearby town and the city council had sent me out to complain about his Christmas lights still being up on the farm house , he actually believed me and I couldn't hold a straight face any longer , it was one in a million type of things and a good laugh .

My story since graduation

I married a Wichita girl whom I have known since we were twelve years old , we've been married 48 years , two sons , Brett , and Brent , worked for a number of years for General Electric in Wichita , was active in Wichita real estate for 30 years and started our logistics company some 25 years ago , I retired in 2009 and our older son Brett runs the company now , both boys have had exceptional careers , we have six grandkids which we like to "spoil and take home -spoil and take home "....

School Story:

One morning before classes started I was accosted by an angry older lady teacher whom said I was "rough housing" in the hall near the principle's office as it turned out , so she takes me in to the office and tells the girl that I am to see the principle and leaves a note for him with my alleged offenses in black and white , well I talk to the aforementioned classmate I won't identify and ask her out , a few minutes go by and she looks to the right , then left , and says ,"he won't be in for ten more minutes -why don't you just leave ", she tore up the note and I was out the door - who knows what the penalty was for "rough housing " was , but I wanted no part of it .

What is still on your bucket list

Drive a Jeep up through Alaska to the Artic Ocean
Have a screenplay I've written made into a movie

If I could do anything, I would

I probably may have already done that....

Three words that best describe YOU

positive , funny , conservative

Your words of wisdom to others

You'll get everthing in life you want , if you will first just help others get what they want........

Allen was always a "guys " guy , after school years at North I would see him at the race track , after he moved to Missouri we spoke on the phone , usually about the best places to go in south Texas for the winter , he will be missed ....Jim Henry

Rick was the first kid I met in the neighborhood when we moved here from Texas in 1956 , we lived 2 houses apart on north Waco and spent many summers and school years running around , always sports after school , hanging out at the Drugstore/malt shop on the corner of 18th playing pin ball , sneaking out after curfew just to prove "the man " couldn't control us , had a million laughs doing dumb stuff , his older brother Fred was cool on a level that was way upthere , and Fred smoked these tiny cigars called Tiparillos , Rick would sneak one Tiparillo out every few days so Fred wouldn't notice and when we went out walking the neighborhood after curfew we would light up "just to add to our rebellion " of the rules , we'd shoot baskets till dark on his rickity backboard/hoop in the driveway while Fred and his buddies worked on whatever old beater car one of them had bought for 25 dollars or so , time flew by and everbody went their own way , we all are probably thinking , I wish I had the opportunity to just say "HI" to Rick just one more time .......
