Katherine Wood (Unander) (1968)
Hey Randy, this is Katherine (Kathy). I also went to Durkee, Fonville and of course Sam Houston. Do you remember some of your teachers from Durkee? I had Mrs. Easley (Kinderegarten), Mrs. Henry (1st grade), Miss Vaughn (2nd grade), Mrs. Beaudwee (3rd grade...not sure of spelling), Mrs. Kerr (1st half of 4th grade until she was fired for throwing all of our school books in the trash; then Mrs. Broughton for the 2nd half of 4th grade), can't remember my 5th & 6th grade but the classes were in the old shack buildings.) I also remember our 6th grade graduation was in the cafeteria on the stage. Then here came Fonville. The only teacher I remember was Mr. Adams. Do you remember old Sam, the dog at Sam Houston? He used to roam the halls a lot. A lot of us were known as the north side kids. Sandra Westerfield lived 3 blocks from me, the Conway sisters lived right down my street, Donny McGinty lived on the street behind me, Billy Hatcher lived 2 blocks from me. Those were the good old days. I like the fact that you live in what I call country. As I stated before, I enjoyed working on my grandfather's farm and also visiting my mother's 2 sisters dairy farms. Sure it was work, but somehow we enjoyed it because you could see what was accomplished that day. Then in the evening, take a blanket outside, lay on the ground and look up at the stars, who could ask for anything more except to reflect on God's beautiful work. I am glad you are coming to the reunion. I am looking forward to seeing former classmates, but like you said, we may not recognize each other...afterall we just keep getting younger at heart and are entitled to "Young moments".
