Paul Newman because he was self-deprecating, stayed with Joanne Woodward, gave big to charity, was a great actor, and had those blue eyes, but Sidney Poitier because he maintained his dignity, refused to be "othered," stood up for rights, was a great actor, and had those blazing eyes. Not to diss Steve and Barbra, but wow, those two were really something. How about you, Rex? I know Steve was a man's man, and Barbra had a voice like butter, to quote SNL . . .

Comments pertaining to actors are interesting. Out of the four my vote is cast for charismatic Paul Newman and rebellious but charming Steve McQueen (The King of Cool). The first movie I saw with Paul Newman was “The Hustler”at the Plains Theatre 1961. Newman played the part of Fast Eddy Felson from Oakland, California. Jackie Gleason played an excellent part as Minnesota Fats. I thought Felson’s manager George C. Scott should have received an Oscar. And honorable mention goes to Piper Laurie for her performance. The next day after seeing "The Hustler", I went straight down to Eight Ball Pool Hall on west 3^rd street and ordered a “custom pool cue” complete with black leather hard case!!

Steve McQueen in “Magnificent Seven” 1960 paired with Yul Brenner were an intense duo! McQueen’s nonchalant persona was killer. McQueen came a long way since his first B-movie “The Blob” in 1958. Both actors Newman and McQueen have a list of great movies that space and time does not permit. Sidney Poitier… played the intense angry black man. I liked “To Sir, with Love” 1967 as the teacher at troubled school in London.

And yes, who in their right mind wouldn’t want to stay with charming, sweet, smart, wonderful Joanne Woodward!! My favorite Georgia Peach!

Classmates,

With heavy heart I wish to let you know of John Doyal passing November 13. John's wife Nelda Doyal contacted me late Sunday afternoon. John was well liked especially by his contributions and good stories he told on our RHS message forum. John was a good guy and will be missed!

John's obituary may be found "In Memory".

I am very sorry to hear about John. I first knew him at East Junior High, and later shared a couple of classes with him at RHS. He was always a polite and caring person. (a gentleman if you please) I will miss my interchanges with him on this site. God Bless

Our friend John Doyal had many qualities like Will Rogers who said: "I never met a man I didn't like"! I liked John the instant I met him.

I have learned so much and it is fun.!
I Want to wish you all a WONDERFUL
THANKSGIVING I just realized Must of
us are know know as:
An octogenarian is someone in their
80s (80 to 89 years old), or someone
who is 80 years old. Octogenarian can
also be used as an adjective to describe
someone in their 80s, as in Our audience
is mostly made up of octogenarian women,
or things related to such a person, as in
I have entered my octogenarian years.

Sherry,

Thanks for providing the definition of an Octogenarian. I'm glad to see there is an 'improved status' since being (uhh)... a 'geriatric' for the past 20 or so years...

I am truly saddened by this news.

Charlotte's long-time friend and caregiver Chrys Harris sent me this message yesterday:

"Dearest Rex, Our precious Charlotte left us this morning. Thank you for always keeping her in your heart. I know how much she treasured your friendship".

Love, Chrys

When I have more specific information I will post it for our classmates and friends.
