THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE REPLIED.   THAT'S A GOOD START (14 ALUMNI).  DELORES, I DID GET YOUR MESSAGE.  THANK YOU.  ALBERT, WE WOULD BE DOING THE LANDFILL A BIG FAVOR BY RECYCLING THE MEMENTOS  ALL AROUND THE USA.   I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM MS. PALACIOS WEEK AFTER NEXT, AND TELLING HER THAT MANY SHHS ALUMNI ARE INTERESTED TOO.  POSSIBLY THE DEMOLISION CREW COULD BE PROMPTED TO STARTING A PILE OF MEMENTOS FOR THE REUNION EVENTS.   I'LL BE SATISFIED WITH JUST ABOUT ANYTHING FOR MY FRONT GARDEN AS LONG AS IT WAS A PART OF OUR OLD SCHOOL.

Albert Garza (1964)

Give my Brother Ruben an extra brick for me since I live in Florida and he lives in Conroe.  I just hope my wife does not throw it at me.  If you find an old paddle get it for me, it will be probably the one they used on me many times.

Vicki Jurchak (Zajicek) (1969)

I too would like a brick. vzajicek@sbcglobal.net Thank You!!

Denise Woodyard (1969)

I am in charge of planning our 50th reunion for class of '69 and we will beginning that soon. I would love to get in on the brick thing too if possible for momentoes for any that attend that would like one. I could make a trip into Houston to help when possible. Please keep me in the loop!  Thanks in advance.

Debra Shelby (Jones) (1968)

Thanks, Charlotte, for looking into this. SHHS holds a special place in so many of our hearts, and having a tangible piece of its history would be dear.

Phyles Smith (Schobel) (1967)

I would like at least 2 bricks from the school.  Who do we contact about this?  And when will they be tearing it down?

Phyles Smith (Schobel) (1967)

I we can get a few more, I would be happy to make them available at our 50th Reunion in July.  Please contact me at plschobel@gmail.com.

Deneice Truss (Marshall) (1969)

I would also like to purchase a brick or whatever is being offered. 

Judy Maxwell (1971)

Please everyone on the bricks just remember it could be a year or two before the build comes down. I will take pictures and post of whats happening!!

Donald (Don) Wells (1959)

I also would like a momento from Sam. Just let me know where and when. Thanks!

Larry (Charles Larry) Vickers (1974)

Yes, I would llike 1-2 myself.

I intend to drive by and see what I get firsthand.

Is there a protocol we should follow?

Ruben Garza (1967)

I think i might just take my hammer and chisel and drive out there one night and take a couple of bricks. They wouldn't miss them, beside Mr. Wilbanks is not there anymore. I live in Montgomery, Texas and drive to Houston quite often. Just might stop by there and see what's going on. I don't neeed no stinking badges!!

Charlotte Pate (Poole) (1962)

RUBEN, JUST WAIT UNTIL I FIND OUT WHAT THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL WILL HELP US GET SETUP.  WE HAVE 22 ALUMNI INTERESTED NOW.  AS JUDY MAXWELL SAID, THE MAIN BUILDING MAY NOT BE DEMOLISHED UNTIL NEXT YEAR AND YOU KNOW CONSTRUCTION PLANS DON'T RUN SMOOTHLY.  MAYBE WE CAN KEEP A RECORD AT THE REUNIONS THIS YEAR FOR FUTURE PICKUPS.  I WILL EMAIL ALAN SUMMER'S SECRETARY ON MAY 15TH TO REMIND HER WE ARE NOT JUST ONE PERSON ANYMORE.

Ruben Garza (1967)

Just kidding! Just kidding! Seems since Trump got elected no one can take a joke!! Knowing HISD they're gonna want to sell us the bricks. At least I got a responce. All my other post went uncommented. ;)

Laurel Anne Gibson (Skinner) (1974)

I want a brick. Class of 75

Roger Bradshaw (1970)

Of couse I would want a brick.

Class of January 1970.

Heck I would likely just drive by there when they start the demo and snatch one before HISD starts selling them.

Delores Krusleski (Jankowski) (1971)

I would love to have a brick.  I'm sure my brother would also.

Karen Walker (Reaves) (1971)

Would like  a brick also. Love 

to have the memory.

Larry Rose (1962)

Yes, I would like a brick if possible from the gym &/or the third floor.  My home room was the Art room on the third floor.  If not, just a brick from the old section of the school.   Thank you!  

Larry Rose, class of 1962.

Charlotte Pate (Poole) (1962)

YEAH, WE NEVER KNOW WHO'S KIDDING OR NOT, RUBEN, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY FUNNY.  NOW WE HAVE 28 WANTING A PIECE OF HISTORY.

Barbra Genie Carroll (Smith) (1962)

I would love to have a brick or two or whatever else they might offer. Sam Houston was a wonderful experience during those years 1960-1962. Please add my name to the list.

32 AS OF NOW.  THANKS EVERYONE.

Harold Douglas Neill (1968)

Is there a PTO/PTA at Sam? Why don't we propsoe this as a fundraiser for them and have volunteers gather and ship the bricks for maybe $25 each?

I belive they could raise a significant amount and give us all a chance to have a little bit of Sam.

(My first post. Been lurking for a couple of years. Maybe 4 or 5)!.

Roger Bradshaw (1970)

That price you can keep the bricks. I'll do what I mentioned earlier. Just stop by and get one pro bono.

Randy Tolman (1967)

What you'll going to do with all those OLD bricks? Build your own school?
