Dee Ann: December & January are just to cold, Feburary & March are best, April if you like spring conditions. Big Sky is like Winter Park, with maybe a little more black. I Like Bridger best, it's like A-Basin used to be. If you stay in Bozeman you can ski both. Our local area is Showdown, not worth the drive unless your already here.

JD: I've not skied either, let's see if we can do that next season.

Jd Barnett: Ronnie, of the two, Alta is easier to get to. Fairly cheap, too, and no snowboards. I lived a half hour from Alta for a dozen years. We could have, like, a class reunion there if Dee Ann and Tom will go along...I'd bet there are some others...

Jd Barnett: Joe, you really brought back some memories...that woods was so HUGE!!! We felt so bold when we rode our bikes all the way through it. Good memories...

Julie Davidson (Sabrsula) Riding through those woods was terrifying-because of the copperheads. I used to ride as fast as I could with my legs shaking so badly I could hardly pedal.

Tom and Dee Ann would love to go along. Just let us know when and where!

Joe Ballard I remember a time around fifth or sixth grade when a bunch of us guys were out there and someone lit a cig and passed it around and we looked down and a copperhead went right between our circle and does anyone remember the time Gary Novak got bit by the coral snake after Mr, Gibson had just gone over the "red and yeller kill a feller red and black venom lack"

OMG...you can't leave this forum for a day without being totally out of the loop. Hello to Joe Ballard. We grew up together in 1st Baptist.

You guys, I have been in Georgia since 79 and still feel like I am visiting and live in Texas. It is my heart. As I read everyone's life stories, I can't help but be in awe at how blessed we were to be raised in Texas.

Georgia is just soooo different. I thought I was from the south when I was growing up. When I moved here, I realized that I was a Southwestern, not a Southerner!! Believe me, a BIG difference!

The richness of the culture and landscape just mixes together to make such independent, wonderful, adventuresome people. I'm glad we have this opportunity to reconnect and get to know each other at an age where we can really appreciate each other. Some of you I barely knew in high school, but because of your life experiences, I feel close to you now.

I hope this is making sense to someone. If not, just tell me to double up on my harmones!

love all of you TEXANS, and I still "are" one!!

Julie Davidson (Sabrsula) Joe, I remember when Gary was bitten by the coral snake. I wasn't going to bring that up. Why on earth did he pick it up? Dickie-you always had to have donut holes from that donut shop by the high school.

04/23/09 07:53 PM	#497
Jd Barnett: I think he had to pick it up to look closely to see if the snake was red/black or red/yellow. Makes sense, right?

04/23/09 08:06 PM	#498
Julie Davidson (Sabrsula) Maybe Gary could explain this to us after all these years.

Kitty Allison (Hilton)

Hey Judy...I'm with you! I've lived in Boston (1 year) and So Cal for over 30 years, but I still call Texas home. I'm so grateful to have had the privilege of being born in and growing up in Texas! My Texas roots have colored my heart, the very essence of me, and influenced so much of my life and my relationships.

I love So Cal weather, but my heart belongs to Texas!

Julie: And I stayed addicted to Shipley and Krispy Kreme until I moved out here to NM. No donut shops out here! This website is making my brain work hard to remember names and faces. A person needs to have a yearbook on their desk for reference. I'll have to dig mine out. Koeffel....wasn't that our Health Occupations teacher's name?

Jim: Jog your memory....was it you or Nancy G. that made that squeek in the middle of La Fiesta Mexicana? Can you remember back to 8th grade? That was one fine piece of music. I can remember when my own kids were in band at Deer Park and I lobbied hard for the band teacher there to get their band to play it for UIL. It was one of those things that you want your children to play the same thing that you did.

Julie Davidson (Sabrsula) Dickie, Joan Kiefel?

04/24/09 10:35 AM	#504
Jd Barnett: Good grief, Dickie, I can't remember! That contra bass clarinet was really difficult to handle, so it could very well have been me. I loved it...it sounded like a long, sustained fart. I don't remember it, and since I had only fourteen solo notes (isn't memory, or lack thereof, great?)let's say it was Nancy's fault! At least until Nancy hits me upside the head...

04/24/09 10:41 AM	#505
Jd Barnett: I agree about La Fiesta, though. Great piece. Who was it on the bells? That was an awesome part. And I remember some drummer missing the gong cue right at the end during one rehearsal and throwing the beater across the room to try to hit the gong..who was that? How the heck did we play that level of piece as junior high kids? Our music teachers were awesome...

04/24/09 10:45 AM	#506
Jd Barnett: I remember the gonger! It was Garrett: Charles Garrett! And that was far ahead of the Gong Show that Chuck Barris made famous. Sorry..just got carried away.

Jd Barnett:

Dickie: Don't you have sopapillas there in Cloudcroft?
Who needs Krispy Kreme when you can drizzle honey all over a fresh hot sopapilla? Or tear off a corner, stick the honey spout in it, and fill the whole sopa up. Life doesn't get much better than that...

I'm making my mouth water...I miss NM cuisine. Cal Mex is OK, but not in the class of the New Mexican food. I could eat that stuff every day. I loved chili harvest when they set up the rotary roasters in the supermarket parking lots and filled the air with the amazing scent of fresh roasted Hatch chilis!

There's nothing like a great bowl of real New Mexican chili verde con carne with fresh tortillas.

The green chili stew ain't half bad, either. Loved living in Albuquerque for 2 years! Some of the best food ever! On the other hand, Vernal, Utah just couldn't cut it with the Mexican food. I knew when they
asked me what kind of dressing I wanted on my salad that
things were not too promising.

I remember Charles, but I think it was a kid named Gerald something that did the chimes. I don't think he graduated with us. And I do not care for mexican food at all. I'll eat it if I have to, but only if forced. I know I'm missing out, but I don't like anything spicy. And beans and me don't get along. I am one of the main reasons the ozone layer is depleting - too much methane!

When I first started at BISD, I subbed for the Clute Band teacher for 6 weeks when he was out ill. I never had so much fun in my life as directing those 7th & 8th graders. Loved reading a full score.

You are right and I remember Mr. Hood having to go back and record a gong at the end to put on the record he made.

Jd Barnett:

Margaret: Albuquerque has some of the best food in NM, therefore on the planet! On the other hand, with due respect to the citizens of the Great State of Utah, I can't think of a single reason to visit Vernal. Even the giant dinosaurs look sick...I went through there on the way to Dinosaur National Monument (which was very cool, but is not in Vernal!) and the Gates of Lodore, familiar to all Western river runners.

Dickie: I still can't figure out how you guys can make sense of all those notes on the full score. And thank you for your contributions to the abatement of global warming! Keep up the good work!
