Comments:

Tech High was a huge big deal when I was a kid, and all through life it continues to be incredibly important as the things that happened to me. Friendships that I made there have endured (that's 56 years and counting) - this is possibly the most important item that we have managed to keep -- they certainly have made all the difference. I love them so much, I can't begin to tell you! May you ALL find the friends you knew at Tech that were important to you - that's my benediction. SEE IN AUGUST!!!

School Story:

MUSIC
Once I'd heard Fats Domino and Little Richard I needed more of that. I didn't know why New Orleans was so important, (and still don't either, really), but I got a little closer, right at home. I never got the chance to go to the Carnation, but I WAS invited to the Dreamland, and saw Bobby Bland, B.B. King, Hank Ballard and others. School was the center, but the activities were phenomenal. I was able to work at nights (on co-op) in my junior and senior years, as Herbie Rich, Harold Hunter, Vince Emmanuel, LaMar McDaniels, and I were playing in a group downtown six nights every week. (ALL TECH ALUM'S) This was a foundation for a career that was afforded me that not every kid gets. So thank you Mr. Palmquist et al...

What did you do right after High School?

Had my own trio, and started spiraling around the country.

Any Grand Kids?

No

Happy Birthday, Carolyn!! You & I do not know each other - possibly you knew my brother, Gary Jones (class of '58) at Tech. I've been trying to find Bev Reuther (class of '57), and if you have leads, I'd love to hear from them. So meantime, have a SUPER DAY. Cheerio.............Bobby Jones (class of '64)

Robert Jones has left an In Memory comment for Charles J. Patlan.

Hey Howie -

Absolutely, I knew Charlie - great guy - although I must confess, I did not know all the well. Mostly we'd hang on the 10 meter board in Peony, (and Art too - he was always the best).  Somehow, I thought Charlie and gone into the Corps with Allen Woods.  I never saw either one of those guys after Tech.  I knew Al a little more, as he & I hung out BEFORE Tech.  But as I say, never saw those guys for any of our Class '64 reunions. If fact, I'd thought that maybe Al might've taken off, and gone back to Florida, as he had been born there.  I'm so sorry for your loss - I'm putting a prayer of comfort to all of those that knew Charlie.  Knowin' he was a super guy - always was.  Purple Heart.  Wow.

Many blessings...................Bobby Jones

HEY DONNA!!! Huge smooches on your BIRTHDAY, child!!! I was so, a-hm, unhappy when somebody told that you & Jim were at the big reunion last July AND I COULDN'T FIND YOU in the crowd!! I took plenty of coaxing Barbara coming for the 50th, but she DID come. I got to see her & Darla together for the first time since school. You know that Carol & Kenny are great friends when I go to da Big O. We must see you too... dassit for now.....

Happy Birthday, Carolyn! I know, you & I don't know each other - I graduated in '64. But I've trying to find Beverly Reuther Spense, and I thought I'd see whether you knew Bev. Any chance? I guess that the deeper one is whether we can connect with this site - I have a terrible time navigating here. Either way, both counts, and especially the BD!!! Here's hoping it'll be to remember!
