Topic: Teachers/Coaches
Alan,
As much as I am "fond" of Coach Cornbread, I mean Coach Poindexter, and yes, I do remember "that comment" that he made. But, that's not the one that I remember the most. The one I remember was during one of his daily drills of trying to teach you your left from your right. After about a week of you constantly proving that you couldn't remember which one was which, he hollered out "Tannehill, son, are you a complete idiot", and you answered back " I don't know".

Hey again,
Don't mean to pound this in the ground but we are getting closer to the deadline. If you haven't put your money in the mail,please do so this week. The web site is the means of getting the information to everyone quick and easy. The only mailouts are going to be to people that we don't have a contact number for. So now is the time to send your money in and be apart of the great time we are going to have.
Mike Duncan is going to try and put a book together for us before the reunion. What I need everyone to do is post their name, address,phone,email address, and a short bio of yourself. To post the information to the main blog and not to a comment you will need a user name and password:
If you want the information email me at patiencecoon@yahoo.com. I don't want to post it here where any tom,dick or harry could post.

Topic: TAILGATE PARTY
Hello,
Everyone that is going to the football game is invited to take part in a pre-game tailgate party in the parking lot of OPHS. We will be serving jambalaya, bring your own beverage. I have been assured that this recipe is from the National Winner of the Jambalaya Cooking Contest. Take the entrance that is closest to I-20, go behind school, turn right toward the breezeway. The breezeway will provide shade, or protection from weather. The principal said that they will rope us off a private area. For the local people, please bring all the extra lawn chairs that you may have. I think that this will be fun visiting for a while before we sit down for a 2 hour game next to someone that you might not have talked to for 20-30 years. Yall come when you can, but myself, Hardin, Duncan, and Taylor will probably be out there around 4:30.. From there we can all walk over to game. Also, for all wanting to attend please email or call Wesley Sanders to tell him how many, so he can lock up the right number of tickets..The school seems to be excited that we are coming to the game..Let's try to show them a large mob of people!!!!!

FOOTBALL GAME INFO
I checked on the football game thing, and I will run with it from here... Scott, Patience, Tim... you guys need not worry about this part of it..
OPHS play Bryd on the Friday of our weekend. I contacted the school and they will work with me about tickets and blocking off seating for us. You do not have to send $$ ahead of time, we can pay at the gate. BUT, they do need to know about numbers to get a general idea of how many. We do not get locked in to that number but it needs to be close. Then when we arrive, tickets will be at the will-call window and cost $6.00 each. I have to know a number at least a week prior.
If you are interested, please EMAIL ME DIRECTLY!!!
I will end up missing someone if I have to check the blog comments. Please email me!
wes@theticketcenter.net
I had also mentioned that one of my kids is a big-shot graphic designer for a television program out of Branson. I can MAKE him design us a nice logo for matching shirts if you would be interested. I could attach the logo for you to see and handle the ordering if we can get the numbers. At this stage, I would have no idea on cost. I have not checked anything about this... If you are interested, in your email, please let me know your interest level...
again guys!
