Dear Gene,
Have not heard from you in a while. I just wanted you to know that
my brother George T. Parker died January 8, 2008. He was married
to Helen Lemonis who remarried this past Sat. to Travis McCulley.
We are fine here, Mother will be 90 this Dec. Linda and I think she may
out live us all.
I have a new grandson born in B;ham on 6/30. My 6th grandchild and my
son's first. My daughter has 5.
Stay in touch.
Take care
Kay (Parker) Murray
FROM THOMAS SAHM
I thought that I would say hello. I'm Thomas Sahm from the class of 64. We
were the last of the War Kids, born before April 1946 like myself, and the
first of the Baby Boomers. That means that only the other half of my class
is in Bill Clinton's Generation. I graduated from the U of A in 1968 and
beat my draft notice into the Air Force. I spent most of the next 22 years
far from Tuscaloosa, over half of it in other countries. I retired from the
Air Force in 1990 here in Goldsboro North Carolina and had to start working
for a living. (Actually it is like a vacation compared to much of my time in
the Air Force, and I even get paid overtime when I have to work weekends and
holidays.)
I have three children. My oldest daughter, Sandra, is 28 and lives in
Tuscaloosa as does my mother. My son, Thomas, is 14 and my daughter,
Rebecca, is 12. They are, of course, still in school. My wife, Somlim, and
I have been married for 15 years. We only have one serious point of
contention. Computers are my hobby and she hates computers.
I made it to my 35 year reunion last year. I would have loved to have come
to the mega reunion, but work interfered. They should try having the next
one around July 4. My company closes down for maintenance then, so work
would never interfere. Say hi to the coaches for me. I still remember
Coach Henderson's driving class and all the HOT Football practice sessions.
If anyone runs into Ralph Hayden or Tommy Guin, also class of 64, say hi for
me to them too.
I enjoy any praise that is given to our teachers and I recently got this email from a classmate,and in not using a name, this is the text of that email..................................
Sorry to diasppoint you, but I know NOTHING about web pages, setting one
up, etc. I do not have one single photograph of school friends other
than school pictures and annuals.
I keep in touch with several other Class of '64 members. However, other
than those few, I doubt that anyone else in the class would have any
interest whatsoever in my life, my daughter, my accomplishments, my
anything for the last 36 years.
I love THS for the marvelous teachers we had. I am truly thankful that
I went to school there and had wonderful teachers like Louise Cary, Anna
Brown, Mrs. Vibbart, Martha Adams, Mrs. Phelps, Irene Little, Janice
Rankin, Janelle Burroughs, and on and on. I think we got a top notch
education - especially by today's standards!
I left Tuscaloosa in 1970 after I graduated from U of A. I went to one
reunion - 1984 I think. It is difficult for me to get to Tuscaloosa -
the motivation would have to be REALLY good.
Things do change and if the motivation and timing are right, it is a
possibility that I might make the drive for a reunion.
Thanks for your interest and sorry not to be of any help.
Add your words of friendship and say howdy to other classmates on these pages.
Thank you for visiting our pages at THS 1964.
Please come back and visit again!
