Dora Jean Smith McKeithan

50 years! You have got to be kidding me. So, here are 50 years in less than 8000 characters. Graduated from OU, married Rod Davis, had 2 sons, taught in OKC, Pensacola, and California while Rod was pilot in Marine Corps. Moved to Texas, taught in San Antonio, moved to Comfort,taught there 13 years, divorced, remarried Earl McKeithan, bought ranch in San Saba County. After boys graduated HS, moved to ranch and started teaching in Brownwood. Taught there for 19 years until I retired in 2004. Earl passed away in 2006. I still live on and run our ranch, but am ready to sell if anyone is interested???? Have traveled quite a bit. England being my favorite


place. Now that I realize I have been out of HS for 50 years, I better get busy and plan some more trips while I am still capable!

I moved into Early, TX in Nov. 2017. My sons now operate the ranch. It took me awhile to adjust to “town living.” Turned 75 on Dec. 2nd. . . 75!!!

Evidently, I have not updated this profile in 2 years, as I am now 77! The sad part of these last 2 years, other than the pandemic, is the loss of so many friends from high school. It just makes me sad.

I am just thinking that I would never even thought, when I was in HS, that one day I would be living in a retirement community in TEXAS!

I can barely remember yesterday, and you're asking for a 50 year old story. Jog my memory!
