Special birthday greetings to my just barely older brother-in-law.  Hate to give him the big head, but really do thank him for all his work keeping the site up and running.

Ray Marshall

Happy birthday to my old friend Mr J. Allensworth, ESQ and to all the other March babies!

John Allensworth

Johnny,

You know what they say, "With age comes wisdom".

So we all must be getting smarter and smarter!

Not just balder and balder (Rex not included)...........

A Happy ST. Pattie's Day to all,

I am sure that most of us have Irish Heritage (If only in our wishes!)

I have two 5# corned beefs boiling soon to be converted into one of the greatest dishes on earth (It is in the  Landess World Famous Cookbook... now out of print). Just a friendly Irish hint.. after the boiling, place in a baking dish and cover with a sauce of pineapple juice, dark brown sugar, and ground cloves. Bake at 350 30-45 minutes, basting often. Serve with honey mustard and all the other goodies.

I am sure that Rex can make several recommendations as to libations!

An toast from the ould sod, "may ye live to have one hundred wonderful years, and one more to repent".

Diane Dumas requested that I post this information.  Sharon Chewning McDonald is having difficulties in a nursing home in Carlsbad.  Her husband, Dennis McDonald is in Roswell if anyone knows him.  Diane would like anyone who knows them to offer any assistance.  Thanks

Rex Booth

Well, well, well.  Ya gotta give the "tip 'o 'th hat"  to 'The John' for holding off on his libations untill the afternoon!  With that kind 'o recipe he musta gone through (at minimum)  3 bottles of  Jameson's Fine Irish Whiskey... er ah... to baste that corny sounding dish or mostly for internal use?  Could be that was Pop's secret sauce for HIS Corndogs!!

Must be El Juan's fav song the 'morning after' St. Paddy's...   

Sherry Hester (Trasp)

LOVE IT!!!

John Landess

Rex,

Is Sherry loving my super-duper delicious recipe, or your purloined music video???

(Sherry, you have to be more specific!!!)

By the by, its the Tullamore Dew that I be sipping time to time, (18 year old).

Pat Sullins (Carpenter)

Patsy, we hope you have a great day today.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  Pat and David

John Landess

Just a quick note to hope that all are well and staying safe. I know how this virus must be affecting everyone and your families. I think the worst is just not knowing....

Anyway, God bless

John

Charline Lake

Nice thought, John Landess, and same to you--and to all our classmates!  Love to all.

Sherry Hester (Trasp)

So True John! Thank-You!!

Mettie Cummins

Happy hunkering down to every body.  Please be strong & safe.  Use these times to get some projects done you have been putting off forever. Catch up with folks you want to check on  & care about by text or phone calls. Do some TV bing watching  & only watch a little bit of news each day because it is so depressing & will drive you crazy. My thoughts are with you all. God bless you. We will get thru this!!! I hope we still can meet in Ruidosa for “our gathering” & can check on each other personally when it is safe to “HUG” again. 

Bill Leggett

Diane Alley ((Webb))

Lynn Snipes (Allensworth)

Mettie, I am with you and Diane!  We will all get through this very tough and scary time and go to the Gathering and enjoy each other so much!!  We also have some plans to make about our 60th Reunion coming up!  Everyone take care and I look forward to seeing you ALL there!!

BIG HUGS!!!

Ray Marshall

Johnny, great video clip of the beautiful ladies of RHS class of ’62! Just one question though, who were the cute cheeks----oops, sorry, I meant to say chicks hopping into the water at the very end of the clip? (For you’re own safety you may take the 5^th). Well, we’re all hunkered down here in Houston. Me, my wife, 17 year old grandson and my sister in law who has been unable to get a flight back home to Venezuela for last 6 weeks and unknown future length (arghh!). It makes for some interesting human interaction between folks! But, life goes on. Stay safe.

John Allensworth

Ray,

First and foremost you and your family are safe, thats the kind of news we want to hear. Todd, our oldest is safe in Seattle with his family, and Scott and his family are safe in Denver.

As far as the two "cheeks" er.... I mean the two young ladies, showing off their diving skill,  there's not enough cover for me to disclose their identify.

Stay Safe

Charline Lake

Bill Leggett, LOL!  How right you are.  Everyone hang in there.  Best all around.  Love, Charline

Mettie Cummins

Hey Bill, think you are right about the /“1/2 & 1/2” bit .... which 1/2 r u gonna be in? Haha- I’ll have some of that Virus vodka & make a mean vodka gimlet— cheers !!!!

Kay Cook (Taylor)

Hi everyone....

It has been so long since I have gotten here.  We are still helping raise Chad’s four kids.  At this ripe age we find ourselves with three teens, and an almost twelve year old that is ahead of her time in being a teen.  We have been in for five weeks now.  Spring break got extended.  Now we are in having to homeschool.  Johnny l could sure use you right now.  You all know I never found the “X”....not one you really want teaching.  Wildman  when I saw your post, I thought I can cook....I don’t drink, but considering the times, it might not be a bad idea.  I’m so glad you are all safe.  I know that this will pass.  God will calm this storm.  It’s been a storm of storms.  Can you imagine seven in a house, and two rolls of toilet paper?  That was huge.  I could hang with the no meat, eggs, milk, and other things...   thankfully we finally got the coveted toilet paper, and wouldn’t you know it... I had a friend in Waco that has failing eyesight, can not drive, is alone ...she had zero toilet paper.  Well I did what i had to.  I mailed her toilet paper.  Now in 75 years that was a really new experience.  It really makes you realize it’s not the big things in life that matter,  it’s the small things.  I cherish each of you, and the fun special memories we had together as we were climbing fool’s hill.  Gene is hanging in.  He has serious heart problems, but he is very strong.  We are having to protect him with this virus.  Chad is still working.  They have cancelled all non necessary surgeries, but he has to be at the hospital for emergent cases.  That is here in a nut shell.  Take care of yourselves.  You are never out of our thoughts and prayers.  I guess I could have written the Reader’s Digest version, and not War and Peace.  Well, I guess it wouldn’t have been me.  Love ya’all.

John Allensworth

Hi Kay, so good to hear from you, we have missed you.  After reading your message it's easy to see how busy you are.  Four teenagers all at the same time, must be a special place for you and Gene.  Adding on what everyone is going through, and we all hope you and yours stay safe.

Stay in touch, 

Love ya,  Lynn and Johnny
