“For Pie Lovers only”

Check out Pie Town, New Mexico....

Some humorous old timers living there say it’s a fact that “Pie Town is exactly 3.14 miles from the middle of nowhere." Pi (π) for the mathematical-minded ones out there.

They claim "you ain’t gone to heaven" unless you’ve eaten their popular “New Mexican Apple Pie”, which includes the state's famed green chile and is scented with piñon.

Rex,

Reminds me of that hillbilly kid that went off to college. When he came home for a visit, a bunch of kin folks were questioning him about the big city and the school. One uncle asked him what he was learning. He told him all kinds of things, like French, Science and Mathematics.

The uncle then said, " whal, say somethin' in them mathermaticals, boy."

The young fellow looked at the uncle for a moment and then replied, "pi r square."

The uncle turned around to the parents and said, " Keep this here boy home, everbody knows cake are square, pie are round!"

(yes, it is an old one!!!!)

Yes, they really do exist, after we graduated from RHS I went to work for Ma Bell and was quickly sent to Hatch NM, and when we were next sent to Quemado NM, along the way going through Pie Town and Datil.  That was enough for me, I didn't stay long enough to get a slice of those famous pies.

So you told yer boss “Datil be the Day” and he thought you were talking Buddy Holly…

I've been to Pie Town and eaten pie several times in my wanderings.  I was never to impressed with the pies that much.  My Mom, Tommy's Mom and Sanford's   Mom All made much better pies.  The most impressive thing about the restaurant was a mounted buffalo head over the fireplace.  It looked like it had been there for a 100 years and had about 1" of soot on it.  I'd be suprised if it was still there.  We now have a shop in Ruidoso called Pietown.  They make fudge and homemade pies that are the real deal and are deliscious.  When we have our gathering I'll be glad to guide you there for a small fee of a piece  of pie.  MK

John Allensworth

Sounds like a deal.

Lynn Snipes (Allensworth)

Helen Happy Birthday!!  Hope you have had a great day!!

HUGS, Lynn

Rex Booth

Mack,  thanks for the tip. 

On our next fishing trip to Grindstone Lake, we'll check out 'Pi' Town 616 Sudderth Drive in Rude Dosie. 

Doesn't that fudge look YUMMY!!

John Landess

Rex, looks yummy, as long as they have peanut butter fudge...

BTW, it strikes me as odd, that as Mack lives there in Rude-dosie, he doesn't furnish the pies and fudge for "The Gathering" **. 

** still a great name for a grunge band or a spookie movie.

Rex Booth

El Juan,

Mack did make Peach Ice Cream at our Class Gathering last August.  It was home-made style in his ice cream maker out on the rear deck.  Tommy Weathers reminded me to get some of Mack's ice cream before it ran out.  I walked out and looked down at the bottom the container.  All that was left was melted runny cream in the bottom.  But I hasta tell ya, warm peach cream ain't bad either! This year we just may do a reinactment of the "Omen"... that is, if you decide show up.  No excuses now. 

John Landess

Johnny,

In regards to the message on the Home Page.

Does that mean we can't trust every one on the web??? And here I was just getting ready to order super discount printer ink from: rameshchandrapandawwithsakhigopal@justmyfashion.com.

I figured he must be legit as he and numerous cousins send me email daily!!! almost as much as Rex.............

Wish I could get some fudge at the big event, but sadly enough, I probably will still be taking salmon, halibut, and clams out of the smoke house then.

Rex Booth

I agree with Paula and El Juan's concern about the RHS site being 'secure', I'm surprised the 'security certificates' have not been available for this site before now. Speaking of fishy stories,  one reason I send El Juan at least one email every two weeks is to distract him from playing with his 'puter 24/7.  He has these two 'puter games called "Phantasy Fishing Alaska Style" and "How to make Yer Fish Stories Mo Believable"...      

Mack Kizer

John L. If you was a true blue ole coyoteee and worth Eskimo poop you would show up at our gathering with mucho salmon, halibit, and king crab legs.  The least you could would be to pack some up and overnight it to usat my house.  It would go wellwith my peach icecream.  The whole truth about the fresh peach iceream make a mastake on some    was I also put peach snopps in it.  I added a little extra and after a hour and a half it still wouldn't freeze.  It froze on the side of the container so we scraped it off and mixed it with the unfrozen in the middle of the container and it resembled a milkshake.  It was deliscious even it didn't  qualify as icecream.  I do occasionally make a mastake on some of my cooking.  I None the less I make a incrediableglaze for salmon with Jack Daniels, Brown Sugar and fresh squeezed orange.  It would also work on Hallibut.  Sernd us our fish!   We're all waiting for it>  It will be great with Fresh peach peachsnopps icecream!  MK

Johnny A.,

Class Creator touts their privacy and security on different web pages. The link below seems more like a sales tool. Scroll down to Security and Privacy.

https://www.classcreator.com/features.cfm

Below is from another of their web pages. A lot more detailed description of their Security and Privacy policies. (Although their grammar is horrible. Obviously not an RHS graduate.)

My point here is, if what they are saying on their web pages is in fact true, they should be able to provide you with a security certificate very quickly.

Some City name in PA

John Landess

Bill,

Those names were from a more innocent time.. Just like when we were young, you could have a gay old time at a country club dance!! However, if you are interested, the Virginville Hotel is listed for sale! And most of those towns are near Hersey, which is a "sweet" place.

Well, I have everything prepped for the good fishing in July, so I am off to the Big Island for 10 days.

ps Rex, envy is not nice! so shape up, just for the halibut!!! (a pun)

Ted Beagles was a good guy. I remember dragging main a few times with him in his Ford Edsel. I was told awhile back that Ted had worked his way up in the (BMW?) organization and at his retirement was in charge of their US parts distribution dept. You done good Ted! RIP.

Dolls &  Gents,

Our '17^th Annual'  Ruidoso RHS Gathering:

August 15,16,17. Be sure to 'Mark' the dates on your Calendar !!  

The executive committee rented the Buckner House 106 Buckner Drive for our Gathering headquarters. The house is single story sporting a handicap accessible ramp including a pool table for those who still believe he or she can run the table like Paul Newman in his 1961 movie 'Hustler'.

Currently (3) bedrooms are available for classmate(s) interested in staying at the Buckner House (Gathering Headquarters)  Saves driving time to and from hotels or for those driving back and forth from Roswell.

Bedrooms may go fast!  Contact Marilyn for details -  marilyn.gibb@gmail.com 

We look forward to visiting with All Y’all under the "tall cool mountain pines" of Ruidoso!  Annee Okee sez:  “Bring yer sense of humah too…”

Your ‘semi’ humble information disperser”… and justifiably so.  Turley would be proud.

Rack 'em!

Can anyone tell me when this picture was taken? Could that be my brother Ken Wilson

class of 1964.

Mike Curtis

Chuck;

That is the Ginsberg Music Co. that was on Main St.  where I bought my first Martin guitar in 1963!
 

Rex Booth

A Martin guitar? 

A Martin can't even come close to the sound of my 19.95 Silvertone guitar I mail-ordered from Sears on south Main in '63...   

Remember our telephone prefix in Roswell?   T'was (MA2) xxxx     for many moons.

John Landess

Diane,

You and Mike must have been the big money socishs in the day... and Rex was borderline! There I was with my seven dollar yellow stella attempting to play the Ventures

On the subject of phone usage. Anyone ever call their-self person to person at someone's house to let them know you had arrived somewhere OK?

Well tomorrow, I have to leave aloha land and return to the United States greatest mosquito reserve. I hear the BIG fish are running!

Rex Booth

El Juan,

If Idda known you had one of them-thar prestigious 7 dollar Stella's, we cudda had beaucoup jam sessions playing 'Walk Don't Run'  in my garage which was near sound-proof.  Those thick egg cartons cut length-wise stapled to the walls made one of the best recording environment ever.  Did my family and relatives ever buy a lot eggs...  Some folks  argue the virtues of a Martin D18, but many pros appreciate the sound of a Gibson J45.  Your choice:  (1) paying the price for a 'name'... or (2) what pleases your ears.  Bet Duane Eddy never played either one...

Remember those hot summer days swimming at Cahoon Park Pool.  Jumping from the high dive and doin' water bombs to get the chicks wet... so many fun memories many Cahoon Moons ago..

Watch this dive !!

What's happening here...?

It's very sad to see such a historical swimming pool and a reminder of our past... gone
