Comments: Talk about a blast from the past! You may or may not remember me. I have vague memories of you and your brother.
 I graduated back in 1988 and played football and basketball with Abel and Pete. Abel was a hell of an athlete and I don't know if
 he really knew how good he was. I still laugh to this day thinking about Pete getting his bell rung one game when we played Milsap.
 He couldn't have spelled cat if you spotted him the 'c' and the 'a' that night.  I remember the school burning, I actually called the fire
 department. I was working at that day care center right next to what use to be the tennis courts. I remember Mrs. McGehee from the
 fourth grade and of course Mr.  McGehee. I think I made it to his office a time or two.  Many of the names who signed your book ring
 a bell and others such as Missy and Tanya really ring a bell if they are who I think they are. Take care......

 I always thought of myself as her best friend, then she moves off and I seen her maybe 1 or 2 times
 in a years time. I lost contact with her except through the x-mas card sendin'. Then I got my computer
 and x-mas 99 she had written' that she had a computer and if I did to please let her know of my e-mail
 address. So that is how we had been keepin' in contact here lately.I asked her for some pics of the family
 and she sent me your pages. I have to say, you have got a talent of havin' a way with words that made
 me sit and think about how much I really do miss havin' her around and just how much I have missed
 out on. I last seen Kaye back in May of 1995 when she had come to the hospital in Dallas to visit me.
 I had went in for emergancy brain surgery.(but that is another story in it's self). She made it a point to
 be there for me and I was so glad she had. She is just someone I am glad to say, is my friend !
 I wanted to write to you to let you know that I am glad you were there for her and her family when
 times got really bad. I never knew just how bad things were for them. I would love to stay and chat
 more but I really need to go. Again, THANK YOU !! :) Carla

 518. I believe the year was 1979 and we lived there until we moved away in 1984. I will never forgot
 Venus and how much fun I had when I lived there.  I also remember Mr. McGee, the principal, and Mr. Vaughn,
 the old superintendent. When we got in trouble and were sent to his office, he would always fall asleep
 during his lectures. I will  never forget Mr. McGee as he tried to discourage me from smoking by telling me
 this story of his aunt that he was remembered always with  a cigarette in one hand and a cup of coffee in
 the other. Why just the other day, as I was driving to work, I was  trying to drive, smoke, and drink my coffee
 at the same time, I laughed as I thought, Wouldn't  Mr. McGee be horrified if he could see me now."  I was very
 sad to hear about the fire in December. It reminded me of the last big fire  --- when the original school burnt
 down.  I loved that school. It was one building schoolhouse,  K-12.  In fact, I was there the day of the fire. I was
 the first one to notice the fire and I helped to get the building evacuated. It was back when there were only a
 couple of school  buses and they had to take us home in shifts.  I was on the second shift, and was standing
 outside the school that day. I was leaning against the building when I noticed flames coming out of the roof of the  gym.

 I quickly found my sister and told her to go find Mr. Vaughn.  Then I alerted the teachers who were keeping the
 smaller children in classrooms until the bus arrived back.  I told them that they needed to get out NOW
 because the building was on fire.  I believe I was in sixth grade at the time. Anyway, Mr. Vaughn went into the
 gym and he sat on a chair on the stage. I believe the fire started behind the stage area. Mr. Vaughn started yelling
 that he was going down with the school this time. He had to be physically removed from the stage.  Just as everyone was clear from the  building,  the stained glass windows blew out. Glass went everywhere. And you know what? Not one single fire alarm went off.  Since the school was destroyed,  we began having class in the Methodist Church basement down the street. Actually, half our classes were at the church, and the other half were in portable buildings they had moved in where the burned school was. So now we had to walk a little bit to change classes. One day, my sister and I, and my best friend decided  that we were going to be smart and ditch the rest of the day. We just keep walking down the block past the church. Well, I guess Mr. McGee was a little smarter than we were. He met us up the road, waved at us, and said, "Bye girls.  I'll see you on Thursday". Well, since it was Monday, I guess you can figure out that we got suspended for three days. Another thing that I remember from way back then was that we had only one police officer, and one deputy.

 I believe the police chief's name was Mr. Bell. During one of the great Halloween carnivals we used to have in the gym, Mr. Bell was joking with my little sister and her friend, and he handcuffed them together--- and then he forgot aboutthem---then he left. We had to search all over town that night to find Mr. Bell and get the handcuffs off.  I have so  many wonderful old memories of Venus, Texas.  My name is Tina Searcy now. It was formerly Tina Broadway. My email address is Tinas@RDST.com.  Write to me if you want to reminisce about the olden days at Venus, Texas.

 very saddened. You see my grand father was Thomas Charles Lee, he was the owner of the Venus
 Express newspaper years ago and lived in Venus for quite a while, in fact both him and my
 grandmother, Eva Viola Lee are buried at the Venus Cemetary. I am writing to you to ask if you would
 happen to know who I should contact to get more information on the Venus Express History. When I
 was little, back in the early 60's my dad Thomas Carroll Lee and my mom would take my sister and I to
 visit our grandparents every sunday. (we lived in Dallas) I remember the cotton gin, the old Bank
 building and walking to the grocery store on the square. My grandfathers printshop was located on
 the square,and they lived in the back of the shop, they were very poor at the time. I would love to
 keep talking about this but, I need to go please let me know if you know who I could contact about
 info. Thanks, Cindy Lee Brown
