Jody, I finally talked to Steve Wheatley a couple of days ago and gave him your "hello".

Mission accomplished!

Justin James (1986) Didnt he have a plymouth "Cuda" as for the name of skeeter they are every where! I have one right across from me he claims to have gotten the knickname from his dad for not being as big as a mosquitoe!

Mark Avant (1985) I believe Skeeter Florey got his nickname from his ability to spit between his front teeth. Only in Sheridan.

Happy Friday the 13th everybody. Who wants to go camping?

02/13/09 01:21 PM	#1701
Chuck Schwartz (1985) I can spit between my front teeth Mark. Can I be a Skeeter to?

02/13/09 02:25 PM	#1702
Mark Avant (1985) Ha, I'm not sure you could pull a Skeeter off. Is your father also your favorite uncle? I believe that's a pre-requesite.

Chuck Schwartz (1985) Shoot. I should be grateful. I do miss the simplicity of small town life though. I was working in a tiny town yesterday called Peyton and it brought back memories. A Top 10 List? "Only in Sheridan" #10. Skeeter has own section in the phone book #9. ?

02/13/09 04:07 PM	#1704
Mark Avant (1985) #9 Only in Sheridan...can a dead dog and a drunk high school senior be the highlight of an impromteau(? need spell check) beer bust on a dirt road.

02/13/09 04:12 PM	#1705
Mark Avant (1985) Oh and to go back a few, Jody mentioned Pat's Fun Store. Was that where Reid's five and dime used to be? I remember hitting both Reid's and the ABC Bookstore every Saturday. One of the perks of living in town, being able to walk in.

Aaron Wilson (1988) #8 Only in Sheridan can I go to Walmart and be the only one with a full set of teeth.

#7 only in Sheridan can you find a dead armadillo with sunglasses and a beer at your 10 year reunion.

02/13/09 05:24 PM	#1708
Robert Welch (1989) I have to say that we need a new #8. I was the only one in the Pocahontas Wally World with all my teeth just the other day. Of course, Pokey is so much like the Sheridan I grew up in that it is scary.

02/13/09 05:43 PM	#1709
Justin James (1986) only in Sheridan can you burn a full tank of gas, go nowhere do nothing and talk about it for the rest of your life!

02/13/09 06:19 PM	#1710
Mark Avant (1985) Justin speaks the truth!!!Ha, it's like the old Bruce Springsteen song "Glory Days"!!

02/13/09 06:25 PM	#1711
Aaron Wilson (1988) Nice one Justin, nice one. I'll willingly concede my #8, Robert's right. Besides, I had the same experience in Harrison not too long ago.

02/13/09 07:03 PM	#1712
Mark Avant (1985) What was that old joke about the 1st toothbrush being sold in a Wal Mart? If it was sold elsewhere it would've been called a teethbrush....

02/13/09 07:03 PM	#1713
Mark Avant (1985) sorry 'bout that

"Only in Sheridan" (A recap and a new focus)

#10 Skeeter has entire section in the phonebook
#9 You have a really cool story about a dirt road and a dead dog
#8 You burn an entire tank of gas in one night, go nowhere, do nothing and
talk about it the rest of your life.
#7 You encounter a dead armadillo with sunglasses and a beer (belonging
to the armadillo and not you) at your 10 year reunion.
#6 Dentists can't seem to make ends meet

OK, so we need some new material:
(some eligibles)
#5 You watch Direct TV in your deer stand. (Hi Aaron!)

You wrote off camouflage and coveralls on your taxes last year.

Gun racks and shotguns in trucks, in the school parking lot when we were in high school and it REALLY WAS no big deal.

Your fishing vacation was at Lee McCool's pond and you have pictures
in your family album (because the fishing really was THAT good!).

You tell your CPA how to set up a Trot line and he is psyched about it!

You get a little teary eyed when you hear "A Country Boy Can Survive"!

LAST ONE: Local gunshops have no idea that the country is sinking into
a recession because "Business is great!"

By the way, I love Sheridan and I am moved when I think about this stuff!
I also really, really love the era in which we were able to grow up in. A memory that has recently jogged was fishing with friends at Springlake. Great stuff!

Ok this is funny! Where have the women gone at this point! Hello...I think we need a woman's perspective. C'mon gals!

WOW. I actually got choked up reading that list. You guys are GREAT!

I would like to add that only in Sheridan can ballgames followed by a trip to Sonic be considered the highlight of one's week.

I agree, y'all. We grew up in a great era in a great town and I met some of the best peeps on the planet there...don't think any of them were named Skeeter that I recall. Glory Days indeed!

02/14/09 11:37 AM	#1716
Mark Avant (1985) We should put that list on a tee shirt. I'm sure you could sell a bunch. I also like how you incorporated some of the older posts. Excellent!!

02/14/09 03:54 PM	#1717
Justin James (1986) any one can read these "only in Sherdan" post and think wow how cool but only a person from Sheridan can really appreciate the true sense of pride from them!

Jody Lowery (1986) Only in Sheridan is your swimming destination Shackelford's pond, Long Bridge, or the blue hole out by Haynes ranch

02/14/09 05:02 PM	#1719
Jody Lowery (1986) or if you've ever painted your name on the rodeo arena fence!

Jody, do you remember when Jason did that big mural on the fence at the arena? It lasted a pretty good while. I guess no one wanted to paint over it.
He was very talented. I remember going over to Old Man Shackelford's pond. And down to Hurricane Creek. Man, haven't done anything that fun in a while. And the cush gig was to get a job working for the county over the summer. You'd work for 4 or 5 hours and then go hide, usually at a swimming hole. Old Killebrew knew where all the swimming holes were. Your tax dollars at work!!!

Jody Lowery (1986)

I remember cutting through the woods from Jason's house on Shoemaker road to swim in that pond. You may have been with us, this one time we were out there swimming in this cow pond and someone started shooting at us (you could hear the bullets zinging by) and we started running and Jason lost his shoe in the pond and had to walk all the way back through the briars and rocks! I think he was whineing all the way back!
