I don't even know where to start! Camp
Eslinger was a blast! We had a great time together
and it was everything I had hoped for....except for not
getting to see the area classmates who
already had plans and didn't get to attend. Maybe, we'll do
this again! J C will be moving to
Tucson eventually so I know we'll have to have one out
there. J C is the gracious host and held
a shindig that everyone would be proud to attend.
There were 26 in attendance,
including spouses. Over half of the classmates were from
PD's Class of '64 (Who's got more?!). Those from our
class were:
Barbara Watkins & George Holt -
Amarillo
Phil & LaNetta Walker - Odessa
Doris Sparkman Breshears - N. Richland
Hills
Dean & Dorothy Melton - Plano
Martha Henley Ladd - Beaumont
Betty Hall Pool - Mansfield
Janice Brown Hawbaker - Bedford
J C Eslinger - Irving
Tony & myself - Amarillo
Those from PD's Class of '63
were:
Barbara Elliott Lockhart - N. Richland
Hills
Winona Shackelford - Bryson
Helen Slaughter Johnson - Ft Worth
Carole Mann Faulkner - College Station
Twila Faust & Johnny Moon -
Jimmy & Tammy White - Euless
PDHS Class of '84
Margie Waller & Husband
Those from Horace Mann who moved across
town who graduated from Tascosa:
Dennis Eubanks
Jay Lockhart (brother to Amarillo's own
astronaut)
We missed Bob & Margo Ely
from the Class of '64 (Who's Got More?!). They paid to
attend but we didn't hear from them. J C, they may have got
the dates mixed up...so don't be surprised if they come next
weekend! I know they will still have a great time
just visiting with you! hahahahaha
Financially, we broke even
on the reunion so there were no extra funds to apply to
anything. I think the caterer's bill came out to more than
expected or planned for...but it worked out just right.
We held a raffle and gave
away a bunch of neat gifts. Carole Mann and Barbara Watkins
proved the theory of "The more you buy...the more you win"!
They needed help carrying home all their loot! It was fun.
Margie from PD's class of '84 won the coveted pewter Don.
Three pictures from Camp
Eslinger are attached. I will send more in groups of three
so hopefully it won't be so hard on your computer.
Classmates pictured in
the "Class of '64" group picture are from left to wright:
Janice Brown, Barbara Watkins, Doris Sparkman (hiding), J C
Eslinger, Martha Henley, Claudia Allison, Tony Price, Dean
Melton & Phil Walker. I'm sorry but Betty Hall left before
this picture was made and she is B E A U tiful!
Love to all and thanks to
those who came.
We need to do this
again.....soon....per J C Eslinger and the rest of us.
Sincerely,
Claudia Price
