I live in Columbus, Ohio where I am doing public relations for the State of Ohio after about 20 years in the newspaper business as a reporter and then doing pr in the private sector.
I've enjoyed three reunions, 1980, 2000 and 2005 and thank all of those who worked to make them work.
Funny story about my going to Hobbs for the 2005 reunion. As I waited at a gate at the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport for a plane to Lubbock, the gate area suddenly started filling up with all these Japanese people. Young, middle aged, old! I mean soon it was like shoulder to shoulder. As more of them appeared, I thought to myself: I didn't think this many Japanese in the whole world had the vaguest idea where Lubbock, Texas was--let alone wanted to go there. The more I thought about it, the more I... Well, I checked! I was at the wrong gate: B4 instead of A4. I changed gates and just in time.
Of course there was absolutely no possibility of a mixup coming back from Lubbock since all the flights for American Airlines, every single one of them, out of Lubbock had only one destination: Dallas/Ft. Worth.
Greetings from Denver where I have lived since graduating. I got the HHS web site from Jim Riveria who kept trying to send it to me via e-mail that continued to fail because he was using a typewriter. We now have that corrected. I am trying to contact William (Stubby) Stockton who also graduated HHS about 1958. He and his family were originally from Menard. TX.
Just a tidbit: Nancy Weiss, Lubbock, TX, who brought George W. Bush to the podium for the Republican Convention, is a personal friend of mine. We were provisionals together in the Junior League '77.
