Ray Moore - FYI, all of the deceased classmate's information you sent were definitely input into our website. All of them, and remember, you sent a voluminous amount. Maybe you overlooked the ones you thought you sent that were not entered. You should have checked with me before making your negative comment. Please reread Connie's message and go forward from there with your future input.

Pat (Patsy) Record (Freeze) (1970)

I have permission to share this information about Jerry Hood (class of 1970) from his sister, Shirley Stedman. 

Jerry's house has been completely destroyed by fire. While trying to save their home, Jerry attempted to put out the fire and in the process, fell from a ladder.  His sister reports: "He is currently recovering well, but it's going to be a long road.  He has 6 broken ribs, a small punctured lung, and a hematoma on his head.  The home is destroyed and not salvageable.  He has been in the hospital since Sunday and expects to be released in the next day or to.  When released from the hospital, he plans to go to his daughter's temporarily.  His wife, who suffers from dementia, is at her son's home."

I saw on FB that there is a go-fund me sight. You can find that sight on Jerry's FB page "Gerald Wayne Hood." It was created by Annie Phillips and it references: Rebuilding Jerry and Jackie's Life After the Fire.

Mel Moy (1960)





I sadly announce the recent passing of a dear friend and classmate, Adele Palacios (Class of 1960).  Adele was a very popular, vivacious young lady who became a beautiful woman.  She was an extremely talented actress who, along with John Pfeffer won many top awards while representing our high school in thespian competitions.  It was not surprising that upon graduation she moved to Hollywood to pursue her acting career as an ingenue.  She starred in the Disney adventure film, Run, Appaloosa, Run and had roles in Get Smart, Kraft Theater, and Ben Casey.  Adele evenually married established actor Joe DiReda (The Sand Pebbles, but often most recognized by his long standing role in the daytime soap opera General Hospital.)  Adele's devotion to family motivated her to put her acting career on hold to devote her time to raising their two sons.  She evidently was good at that too because her son Michael not only played collegiate baseball for Pepperdine University, but went on to become a District Court Judge in Utah.  As you might guess, Adele never resumed her acting career, but turned her attention to gardening, golf, and watercolor art.  She became a very good watercolorist and a devotee of Thomas Schaller. She often bragged that she sold just enough of her art to pay for the brushes she bought.  I include just a few photos to remind those of you who may have shared the pleasure of knowing Adele.

Thanks kindly for your attention---Mel Moy (Class of '60)

Hello Everyone ~ I have not been on here in over a year!!! They say time flies when your having fun. Guess fun and life in general has carried on since last time on here. Sorry to hear of all the deaths ~ one of the reasons I have not been on here.

I retired May 2025 to stay home and take care of my husband that had a stroke. August 2025 called in hospice and he passed away September 19, 2025. We had a celebration of life March of 2026 ~ had a nice crowd here at our home. Tryng to get adjusted to being here with just my 2 girls (our dogs) have had several visits before and after Danny died, my sister Shirley, Rita Simms Bane, Connie & Bobby Hopper and Martha Buchanan Braden. It helps with friends visiting. I appreciate them driving up to see me. I moved from Houston 21 years ago and have not been there in 2 years. Miss seeing everyone but Love living in the country and NO I will not be moving back, several have asked that but there is no way I could do big city living, I'm a slowed down country girl. Out in the middle of the woods.

Hope all of you are doing well, hang in there!! Give me a shout sometime!!

Judy I am so sorry to hear about your husband's passing. I will say a prayer for your husband and also you. I understand not wanting to leave Centerville. God's country. Glad to know you have rejoined our group. We are thinning out too quickly.
Your friend, Kathy.
