Well, damn....  this was a sad thing to read this morning.
We were never "buddies", but were casual friends, the kind you
take for granted. 
I never asked, does anyone know how he got the nickname Tam?
Such a good guy, never heard of a single person that didn't like him.
We always knew he'd grow up to be an academic... most of us knew
he was at Duke, for many years, and I just know his students were
so lucky to get him.
RIP Tam..

Speech class at Waltrip....
one of my favorite teachers and favorite classes.
Who knew how much that stuff would serve me so well thru-out my life.
(I no longer stand like a flamingo when speaking to a group!)
Ms. Kahla was extra extra special.... she made each class feel like
a family. Her warmth and sweetness was always present.
I loved that woman.

(Note to admins: her birthday is shown as '27, '36 and 37 in various places.)

... very sad to hear this. David was always smiling, relaxed, and
cheerful... and always had a cadre of friends around him. I knew
him mostly from school, and though I had lived on Wakefield until
junior high, I never knew he lived on Wakefield, too.,
I never heard a single negative thing said about him... good guy.
Deepest sympathies to his family.

I never knew you were artistic... how absolutely cool.
Now I'm wondering how many of our other classmates
may have had artistic talents. I used to paint, still want
to get back to it. Most all my paints dried up, and have
slowly been replenishing. I went to Ski Santa Fe once,
about 30 yrs ago... my one and only time to go skiing
and had a wonderful time. I lived in Denver for 1 1/2 yrs,
but although we went up into the mountains, we never went
skiing there. So, anyway, how long have you been in Santa Fe?
and do tell about your trip to Paris... (I went twice, as a teenager,
but was with my dad, so that was limiting...)
btw.. we were in 6th grade together, Mrs. Mewhinney's class, in
case you're wondering..

Lindy, here is a link about S. P. Waltrip, the man - http://www.waltrip50.org/id7.html
Paste the address and check it out.

OMG! Are those the BEST photos EVER or what!? (I'm SO glad I clicked on the link.)
Your lovely family and the trips the rest of us only dream of... even those of us that have traveled (I've been to England and France), are green with envy (but in a good way). Your shots are BETTER than National Geographic! (Dying to know what kind of camera you used...) You really take awesome photos... and Rita must, too, since some photos she must have taken.

Looking at your family photos makes us feel like we know them, too... so cool. Looking forward to watching Preston, Chandler, Brooke, Gavin, Adeline and Elliott, as they grow up...

Jeez... sky-diving, hot-air ballooning, driving a real race-car, etc... puh-leez, we can't stand it!!

Fyi.. sometimes Wikipedia may be missing a photo of a particular locale, and if you have one, it could be featured on there. Your photos are most certainly worthy.

Yeah, I went to one reunion, maybe the 20th, and hardly recognized only a few, mostly just the ones that also went to Black, & Oak Forest Elem.... I didn't even know about it in advance, but saw a write-up in "the Leader", and had just one hour to get there. But glad I did. Notifications are much better now, since we have this site. Most of the people I hung out with went to Catholic schools, it seems. I was always at the stables (owned by Gary Brandt's grandfather) on Ella, across from Waltrip, because I had a horse, or at the Skating rink.
I'll probably go to the 50th reunion, if it's not too expensive, and you should, too.... they might need to create an award for you, as "The Most Well-Traveled Student of the Class of '65". (If not, make one for yourself!)

I remember you from school, but where did you live? I lived on Wakefield, and later on Poinciana (off Mangum).

I'm still just blown away by your photos...

So, when/where is your next trip? How about Greenland or the Seychelles or Baja Peninsula? Since I'm vicariously enjoying your trips, I might as well make suggestions...

Anyhow, Well Done, Harvey! You make us proud! and thank you, thank you, thank you, so much for sharing!
