Congratulatons, your wife must be very understanding. It is my belief that
it is harder for them to live with us than the other way. Point in case is
something a good friend just sent me. He is a math P.H.D.... it just proves
that it is genetic.

I was watching 48hrs. last night and would like to say its such a privilege
to know there are still folks out there who care more about our LAND and their
way of living then MONEY. MONEY can buy you anything, but MONEY can't make
you happy. I would be honored to live in a community like yours!!!

I really don't know what the individual winners did ... other than they were
mostly farmers and they invested in thier farms. I run the web site ... but
it is just a site where alumni post pictures and swap stories. I live in Dallas
and only go home a couple of times a year. Lance Green is still the mayor
and he is a good guy. The Terry boy is still at the bank ... "Big Mike"
(who I grew up with) is farming and most of the others are doing what they
have always done. It was a great place to grow up and is still the home of
some excellent people.

Hey, Yogi, How are things in the "Big City" of Rockwall? My older, brother, Freeman, was asking about you not long ago. Freeman graduated with the class of '65. In those days, he went by John. I told him that you lived close by in Rockwall and he said he would like to talk with you sometime and talk over some of the old, old, old, old, times( Emphasis on old!! You know I was literally just a baby in diapers in '65). Take care and God Bless. ---Nerissa Hardwick, Class of '82.

Many of you are being sent an email by a friend that says they have been victimized
by an e-mail virus...one that automatically sends itself to everyone on their
address list. I have received it from 4. This is a hoax. The virus name is jdbgmgr.exe
. If you look you will find it on your computer, however it is a necessary Windows
operating file, everyone has it. There can be a virus that works like this, but
this is not it.

Some have asked about the new picture on the home page. It is of course the "double mountains". I was dove hunting at the deer lease about 25 miles north of Rotan when I noticed the moon coming up and a small thunder storm brewing. The combination has a nice feel to it and for some reason it reminds me of home. When we were young we hunted so much or "farmed" so much that the country around Roby is part of the place. Happy 2002

a dasturdly deed as mentioned. I know those guys you mentioned and I can personally
vouch for their character if not their whereabouts on the night in question.(Surely
they would'nt have done that in broad daylight)
