Melvin McCallum

Worked in the oil patch, worked for a big supply store made big bucks, worked for large oilfield service company, even more big bucks, worked for Enron more big bucks until they severed me in 1994. Yep, even more big bucks with all that great stock selling it all before the crash in 2001. Self employed living near Mountain Home, Texas in The Hill Country, selling ranches, witching for water and having a blast. Go back to Odessa monthly to visit older brother, Stanley and his wife Vada, Alford Smallwood's older sister and my many friends there.

Lots of good school stories most involving Alford Smallwood, Don Moore, Sarah Ashford, Larry Byford, Don Boyd, Jimmie Rose, Richard Rose, Byron Looker, Jack Bowman, Steve Lambert, Jack Westerfeldt, Harrison Acton, Bo Philpot, Phillip Burnette, Wilbert Lawson, David and Daniel Hurst, Byron Burl Beckham, Phil Vincent, Faye Snyder, Jarvis Wright, Jimmy Jordan, Harold Bettes, Jerry Rhodes, John Haynes, Duane Cox, Tommy's Drive-In, and all the girls we loved before. Carl Goetz told me once that my old '47 chevy was the first car he ever saw do a wheelstand in Tommy's Drive In. Yep, 'ol "Runnin Bare-ly" pulled 'em up and showed them what she could do. I owned several cars while in high school including my first 1950 Ford, 4 dr, six cylinder, 1947 Pontiac, 1936 Chevrolet, 1935 Huppmobile, 1934 Plymouth 3 window coupe bought from Mr. Norrid a teacher at OHS. Me. Alford, Sarah and Bitty Moore used to drive out west of odessa chasing jack rabbits in the 1950 Ford. One day I had a flat and took it to the Shamrock station at corner of 16th and West County Road to get it repaired. When I went back to pick it up the man told me he was going to have to charge me 75 cents where he usually charged me 50 cents because the inner tube had 26 holes in it!!! Yep, those Mesquite thorns were bad back in those days and the tires weren't too good either. But, dang didn't we have tons of fun?!!!

I see Richard Rose every time I go back to Odessa/Midland. I see Jack Westerfeldt quite often too.

I email Jimmy Jordan, Byron Looker, Harold Bettes, Bill (Maynard) Lisenbee, David Hubbard, Phil Vincent, Pat Hewitt, Pat Holland, Pat Schell, Bill Norman, Jack May, Mike Moore, Paula Briley Goetz Boles, Delmer McAfee, Dana Taylor, Faye Snyder, Jack Westerfeldt, Sarah Ashford, Jean Tiner, Jerri Gleaton, Jerry Albertelli, Jerry Rhodes, Mike Hennech, Jerry Coker, Carol Costley Rabun, John Haynes,
