Sharron Kiker pointed me to this website and I have had a blast reading everyone's

and I moved to Roby in June 1964 and moved back to Plainview in January 1965.

HOW QUICKLY TIME GOES BY
SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY
WE WALKED UP THE STEPS AND DOWN THE ISLE ON GRADUATION DAY FOURTY YEARS HAVE
COME AND GONE AND THINGS HAVE CHANGED SO MUCH THO FAR APART IN TIME AND MILES
WE FEEL AGAIN IN TOUCH WE STOP AND LOOK DOWN THE ROAD AND FEEL THE PAIN WE SHARE
THE MEMORIES AND LOVE FOR JO WILL ALWAYS LINGER THERE TIME WILL PASS AND ONE
BY ONE WE ALL WILL MEET OUR END BUT NOW WE SHARE WITH HEAVY HEARTS THE PASSING
OF A FRIEND
Joann Gatewood Terry, class of 65, lost her battle for life Monday night. Her
services are at the Roby Church of Christ on Thursday at 10:00 AM. We have all
lost someone very special and Lee and I will cherish all of the times thruout
our lives that we spent with her. Her mom and dad have always been so nice to
us and of course Mike is classmate ... friend ... hunting buddy and my heart goes
out to the family. It is an unusual life that is spent in such steady devotion
to those she loved.
Dear Classmates;
At last report today (Sunday 2/19/06) 9 p.m. Jo had started running a temperature
of 103 and seems to be going down daily, we are in contact with Leonard as to
her condition as they are at the hospital 12 or 13 hours a day. I will keep
you informed daily or more often as conditons dictate.

I TRIED TO CLICK AND WRITE A MESSAGE BUT COULDN'T GET IT TO WORK
... SO THOUGHT I WOULD WRITE YOU AND YOU CAN PUT IT ON THERE...
Joann Gatewood Terry has been put in Hendricks Hospice and has not spoken since
Tuesday night. The family needs your prayers as they make it day by day with
this journey. Their middle son, Jason also suffered a heart attack on Wednesday,
he is in Harris in Ft. Worth. awaiting results from tests they have run on him.
Note from Becca Frierson date Thursday Feb 16th...I also got a message from Larry Field that Joann was in Hendrick in Abilene "Hospice"
Yogi, Pam and I were looking at the 1949 grads and noticed Joretta
(Moore) Browning was a 49'er. Are you aware she passed away in the last week
or two. She had been battling cancer for several years. She was a sweet lady.
We enjoyed being around her while she lived in Andrews.

Something I got from David Webb a long time ago........My guess is, you will
recognize the fellows in this old photo
I ran across in a memory box. This must have been around 1960. I moved away
shortly after that. Would have been class of '64. Maybe you could put it in
the "The Way We Were" photos. ---- Fond memories, for sure!!
Thanks for the site -- I like to visit now and then. --- I will keep on the
lookout for an more worthy photos I may have.

but there is still problems with the script that allows you to post content
and have it automatically appear...Hopefully I will have time this weekend to
fix it completely. In the meantime send me anything you would like to have posted
and I will manually put it in. It is simple cut and paste for me............I
did this one for Ginger........

Hi, Yogi,
Hope you and Lee are well and had a good holiday.
We miss your notes!!!
I just submitted one about a party for Calvin's mother, but it's not showing
up. Did I do something wrong?
This is what I wrote, in case you didn't get it. If you could put it in for
me I would really appreciate it!
Erna Lee Jones will be 80 in February, and her children are having a birthday
party for her on Saturday, February 4th from 1 - 5 p.m. at Lamar Street Baptist
Church in Sweetwater. Erna Lee was very active in school, scouts and church
activities while all six of her kids attended Roby school. We'd love for you
to come and wish her a happy birthday and visit with Calvin, Randel, Vonda,
LaRue and Carlos. If you can't come but would like to send her a card her address
is 3309 Sherry Lane, Apt. 238, Abilene, TX 79603. Hope to see you February 4th!.
Thank you, Yogi! Hope 2006 will be a blessed year for you and Lee and your family.

I have switched from NetNation.com (who has hosted RobyTexas.com
for over 4 years) to a company called Network11.com. The old company could not
or would not fix the problems on our message board. Today is Dec 29th and hopefully
the change will be made today or tomorrow. I hope there are no further disruptions
with the service. I will test and repair the board and then notify you that
you may resume your communications with each other.
I continue to look for one, two or more to help with the management
and content of the site. If you are interested contact me and we can discuss
it by email or phone. This is a investment of time ...not money. The site is
not an everyday site for most who use it, but is important that it be here when
we need to remember who we are. GO ROBY LIONS ... GO ROBY ALUMNI.
There is a problem with the new server and I am making arrangements to either have it fixed or move the site to another host. Mail me any comments you would like to see on this page and I will post them for you. I will post the "all clear" as soon as I can.

Lot of housekeeping to do on the site. I have not been able to spend
much time on it lately.
Welcome to Bob Burk, Class of 83 bob@bobkatt.net
I am looking for someone to take over a minor or major role in RobyTexas.com,
I will continue to be involved and will bear the cost, but would like to have
someone who can help keep the site fresh and dynamic. Write me and I will answer
your questions about how it works and how it can work.

I just want to thank Betty Joy and Larry for their wonderful hospitality
and graciousness. I haven't been back to Roby in a lot of years, but had to make
the 40th. My daughters came with me and I have to say, enjoyed it as much as I
did. The turnout for '65 was wonderful and unexpected. I did miss seeing a few
of the old crowd. The one that had changed the most, to me, was Charlie Jo. The
one that has changed the least, is Tony. We all had sush a good time and enjoyed
the party so much, I hated to leave for home. Again, I want to give the credit
for the party success to BJ and Larry. Thank you!! Cynthia

Just in from Homecoming thanks to Sharron (Kiker) Davis (65)....
Hey Everybody!! Tony & I really missed ya'll at Roby Homecoming. Tony was almost
the Lone Ranger! Just he, Gary West, and Janice Brashear from the Class of 64....BUT,
the Class of 65 shined...Mike & Jo Ann were crowned Homecoming Queen & King...We
had the most attending the "business meeting" with a grand total of 10, and at
our "get-together" at the courthouse there were 18 classmates plus Cynthia's oldest
daughter and Linda Green and Tommy Driver's wife, Ann Moore, Ben Simmons, and
George Simmons wife. We had a great time with lots of laughter and quite a few
tears, too. It was a really special visit. Doris, Cyn, Bambi, Jan Ashley, Margie,
JoAnn, Joyce Brashear, Larry Field, Curtis Doyle, Tommy Driver, Joe Kelly, Mike
T., Charlie Joel, Leonard Mitchell, George Simmons, Donald, Andy Moore, and myself.
We shared some precious memories and updates on our lives. It was really fascinating
listening to each one capsulate his /her last 40 yrs. into a short narration,
allowing the rest of us a glimpse into the adult lives of our former classmates.
Almost everyone mentioned where his/her parents are, if lucky enough to still
have them. Margie made a very sweet observation about how that very thing is a
testament to the bond we share. As she said, "All our parents belonged to all
of us." We were all a little surprised, I think, that we really weren't really
ready to leave even after about 3 hrs. of visiting. Tony and I continued the visit
on into the night at Betty Joy's Neon Room with Bambi & Volley Dean, Andy and
Ann Moore, Curtis Doyle, Donald and Joyce, Doris, Jan, Charlie Joel & Candy, Cynthia
& daughter Lisa. And of course, Betty Joy and husband Larry, Gil & Gaynell Cherry
were there and J Neal even dropped in later. You all missed the highlight of the
evening when the guys karoaked YMCA. We would have loved to have had all of you
there, and we're all so grateful to Joyce & Donald for spending so many hrs. and
dollars to bring us together. It was a success!!!

The Ex's Association has lost money the last few Homecomings because
of the social on Saturday night. $800 was lost the last couple of homecomings
and around $1,500 the last time it was held at the country club. There is not
enough interested people for a large event on Saturday night. Other people have
started planning their own parties on Saturday, therefore we felt a social after
the football game on Friday night would be a nice change and allow those interesed
classes wanting to plan their own parties on Saturday that opportunity. Everyone
is invited to come to the old gym Friday night after the football game to celebrate
our win against Bronte and dance the night away. Also bring your music, pictures,
yearbook and enjoy reminiscing with friends and classmates. We hope to see you
there. If anyone has not received a letter regarding homecoming it is probably
because we do not have a current address for you. You can email any addresses
to Darry Thomson at tthomson@roby.esc14.net.

I know for a fact there is going to be a shindig you won't want to miss !!!! 65-05!!
wow ... call and make your hotel reservations ... Sweetwater hotels... Ranch House--325-235-6341,
Comfort Inn --325-235-5234, Holiday Inn--325-236-6887, and there is one in Rotan
but don't have a number for it .. too bad the BLUE HAVEN OR SILVER SPURMOTEL ISN'T
STILL ALIVE AND KICKN!! If you missed it .. Homecoming is the first weekend of
October! That is also the Sweetwater Ranch Rodeo going on here .. so that is why
I am saying to call ahead to book rooms. Tommy, myself, Connie and Bobby Smith

Found this site through a friend and it is absolutely wonderful. I
went to school in Roby for my 6th grade in 1962. I have two brothers, Joe Kelley
who lives in Snyder and works at the prison. Jim Kelley who lives in Sweetwater
and is the Chief of Police there. I work at one of the women's prisons in Gatesville
(at least we are all on the right side of the law). I have many fond memories
of Roby (we ended up moving and graduating from Rotan High School - me and Jim
in 1968 and Joe in 1965) and am still in contact with a very few from Roby. Would
love to hear from more as Roby (and Rotan, of course) are both great places and
you just can't beat small towns and the love and help you get from them when you
need these things the most. Rhonda Kelley Seymour rbkellper@sbcglobal.net

Had not previously looked closely at the picture Adam posted for Omega.
I think the boy 2nd in from the right on the second row is my uncle, Jimmy Foreman.
Will send a note to my cousins and have uncle Jimmy look at it and also his sister,
Juanita Monroe. Age-wise it looks like it would be him if the picture was made
about 1939-1941

Adam, about the recent picture you sent in.......I think the picture
is more recent than 1940. Top row, left to right, the girls may be ____ Cauble,
Judy (Ammons) Seeley (Class of 60), and Becky Summerlin. On the middle row, second
from the right, is that Fenton Brown? On the first row, second from the left,
Betty Joy and Ginger Melton? Really am enjoying reading the old archives and catching
up on everybody. Jonasue

Then a follow up letter from "Roby"..........
Thanks, I appreciate that. The furthest I can trace my lineage is to the Roby's
of New York City in the mid-to-late 1800's. I really hope that something turns
up. Please don't be mad because they are from New York. I read some of the jokes
on your site (the practical-joking Penguin is my favorite) and I noticed that
there was a marked dissaffection towards "Yankees". I am from California, if that's
any better. My mother and her father (both are Robys) were born and raised in
Louisiana. I look forward to any information you can gather. Sincerely, Roby.

I asked permission to post the letter that "Roby" sent me. See if anyone
will help him out............
Hi, In my never-ending narcissistic pursuits, I typed my name into Google and
found a city with the same name. This is amazing to me. I saw Roby High School,
a water tower with Roby on it and such. Doubtless, your fine city has been around
longer than I have. But the name Roby has been in my family for hundreds of years.
Perhaps you can give me some of the history of your city. Maybe it was founded
by someone in my family? That would be awesome! Thank You, Roby.

For the message board: The State Fair in Dallas with the Roby clan
sounds like fun. Are you going this year? Perhaps Jan and I will can join you.
Yogi, thanks for the website and the memories. Dianne Feagan, please e-mail me.
I loved seeing you a few year back! ---------- Yogi, his part of the message is
for you. Reading the message board brought back wonderful memories of Cricket
and your Mom. Although it was tough times, I truly enjoyed the nights at your
house playing 42 with Mary, Cricket, you and your friend (Tom?). And playing with
sweet little Mary Jo. Hard to believe that she isn't still a baby! I loved your
mother so. Such a sweet lady! And Cricket was a great friend. Periodically I think
of her and still feel the lose. I was lucky enough to see Cricket when she was
in Baylor for heart surgery. I moved away from Dallas soon after. I talked to
her a couple more times, but did not get to see her again. My life is better because
I knew all of you. You taught me much about courage and stength. Thanks! Nancye

forever not for better ... some have gone and some remain ..." Beatles 65 "In

When I first heard those words ... a year out of Roby High .. I started to understand
the "shared" human experience. I heard them again this morning "Fathers Day"...40
years later. Wow.
Last weekend Gary Don & Bobbie ... Hershy & Joyce ... Lee & I met in Fredricksberg
to make some "new good-ol times". Boy, did we.
How great to be connected all the way back. How can you ever forget the times
and the people who make up your life. I have had calls this morning from both
daughters and will talk to them again before the day is over. My wife suprised
me with Ranger tickets, my daughters with new shirts and a shopping trip to Circuit

he has passed away. Robert was 52 yrs old and lived in Breckenridge I believe.
Don't know the reason for death, his obit was in the San Angelo paper. Robert
was a 72 grad of Roby High. Robert was Mr Earlys' right hand man. Those of you
may remember Mr Early was the janitor for years. The lake is still dry send us
some water !!! We were wanting some input on a GOLF TOURNEY to be a part of the
homecoming activities.?? If you have any thoughts on this, please email me or

there is enough interest to make it worth the while .. everyone would be able

To the person looking for Brad Wilburn, a few years aqo Brad was working
as a pilot for American Eagle Airlines, and based at LAX and later DFW. We worked
together for a number of years there before I moved on to Northwest Airlines.
You can probably call 1 800 774-2000 and find someone who can tell you if he is
still there. If that number is old, just search for American Eagle, DFW. Hope
this helps. Johnny Howard "63"

Yogi, While driving to Gorman Tx to see my grannie, I was thinking
of her husband my best friend W.C. Browning and his involvement with Mr. McC,
and listening to Allen Jackson I thought of what would be the ideal thing as the
"Formula for success". And here's how it goes: To do what I do, hearing someone
say your ideal will never amount to anything. Believing in yourself and dedication,
and pride-and never ever quit. The taste of Texas is just an ideal. The late W.C.

I was so excited to find the Mr. Mc's peanut patties when I was Christmas
shopping at the Galleria at Texas Treasures. My mother was actually born in Gorman
TX and enjoyed the story and of course the peanut patties!!! Glad you can find
these in Dallas! Theresa Mullins

Last week I attended a State and Federal committee meeting organized
by our local Chamber of Commerce. We invited a representative from Governor Perry's
office, a representative from Rep. Connaway's office and a past employee of Congressman
Stenholm's office, who is still very active in State and Federal government. Folks,
Roby may be small, but the effects of Roby and it's people reach far and wide.
The representative from the Governor's office was Kevin Christian, a 1996 graduate
of RHS and the representative from Stenholm's office was James Beauchamp, son
of Joe Beauchamp, class of 69, and nephew of Rex and Abel Beauchamp. I was so
proud of Roby's representation at this meeting. Pretty impressive for a little
West Texas town!

My brother Mark sent me your website tonight and I had so much fun
reading it. You're really doing a good job of keeping that little town together.
Thanks. My two brothers, my mother and I moved to San Angelo from Roby in 1972.
Two of us live in San Angelo today, one in Dallas, and my mother in Sylvester.
We still go to Sylvester about every month or two to see my mother. My older brother
farms at Sylvester, my mother owns a big house in the NW corner of Sylvester,
and I just bought a small lot and "beat up" house at Sylvester. We enjoy it there
and still love to go back "home" and hang out. Good job on your website and I'll
come back and visit frequently. Tymn Comest, San Angelo TX. Class of 1975

I drove through town in Oct. and recognized almost nothing. This says
as much about my memory as it does about change in Roby. My current email is coprolite19147@yahoo.com
Roby is still a great little town and the place that was most influential in my
life.
