We were in Humble, just North of Houston, for Bill's 35th class reunion. We stopped by Rosewood cemetery before heading to the reunion dinner to see Bill's father's headstone. When we were there two years ago, it was not yet in place so this was our first time to see Irv's marker.
Irv is laid to rest beside Bill's mother Patsy. They were both wonderful Christian saints! We miss them both.
Side by side, it was nice to finally get to see Irv's marker completed and in place beside Patsy's.
The Humble Wildcats Alumni Association is the longest running High School Alumni Assoc. in Texas! This was their 80th reunion and there was a table or tables at the dinner for EVERY class from the beginning of HHS to now! There were about 350 in Bill's class of 1977 and about 40 came to this dinner and dance.
Bill's old high school, Humble High!
We got to stay with our daughter Melissa and her wonderful husband Jonathan, in Houston. The next morning, after the reunion, we all four headed to Waco to watch our Baylor Men's Baseball team play Arkansas in a Super Regional! We had such a fun time! It was HOT but we made the best of it!
Bill and I got there really early to get our "Will Call" tickets and because we were SO early we ran into the head coach, Steve Smith, who is a good friend of ours from our Baylor Days! We got to visit and pray with him! He was in Bill's brother Keith's wedding as a groomsman! His wife Melinda was a KKG with me at Baylor!
We had to get our picture in front of this bronze Bear statue!
Me and Melissa!
Melissa and Jonathan!
Me and Bill in the bleachers!
"Feed the Beaver", is a new saying this year, due to when a home run is hit it goes out by
the Brazos river where a beaver has it's home!
The following morning, in Waco, all BU alum's favorite way to start their day is by having some coffee from our beloved "Common Grounds"!
Ahhhh! My nice tasty cup of "Rodeo Clown" coffee from Common Grounds! I'm ready for my day!
Anytime I get to be on Baylor Campus I feel "Welcome Home!" Such a wonderful place to be!
Pat Neff Hall
Neil Morris Hall, where the Communication Disorders Department is housed
and where I spent MANY hours doing my undergrad and graduate work!
The Bear Pit!
Commemorative Dr. Pepper in honor of our Lady Bear's National
Championship!
We got to meet our friend Robin Drake in Austin for lunch!
Yes, I HAD to stop at the outlet stores! Bill is so sweet to me!
My TRS appointment wasn't until 4:00 pm so we had time to visit the state
Capitol before TRS.
It is now official! I have applied for my TRS (Teacher's Retirement System) retirement effective May 31st, 2013! I'm so excited! Just one more year!
