Thanks Teresa, for the kind words. I wrote the story quite a few years ago and sort of forgot about it until I started hearing from Joh Odom and learned of this website.

I was wondering if anyone would remember The Green Frog. I am glad you do, and glad you enjoyed the story.

It was a pleasure to read, especially since it was set in the Green Frog. My father and Marshall Mullins were good friends, and since Daddy loved coffee, I’ve spent many hours in the Green Frog. I haven’t thought of it in years, but the memories came pouring back as I read the story. Thanks for posting it. Teresa (formerly Terry O’Neal)

John, Thank you for all the information regarding our class. It brings back fond memories. I got our senior year book out and reviewed the pictures. It was fun to remember all of you. I have recently had contact with Glo Lambert Hays. It was good to talk to her. Thank you for all the work to put this together.

Hi John,
First let me send a great big “THANKS” to you and Molly. I thoroughly enjoy hearing about our class mates. I print copies of each article and mail to Jana Hopkins Teel and Kay Killough Smith as they don’t have email addresses. They also enjoy the correspondence. We are all looking forward to the class reunion.

Suggestion: I’m in the second group of email addresses, but my last name is on the same line as Cecilia Dehlinger Barahona. Could you drop “Barton” to the next line to register with the rest of my name and email address?

Thanks and keep up the good work!!!!

Hi John,
I just received the email list of ‘61 AHS and it sure brought back memories. I would like to add my address: 3117 Mossy Oak Lane, Bedford, TX, 76021. I am retired from Marconi Communications. After AHS, short marriage, then 9 years USN Electronics Tech, 12 years as Field Service Manager with Tektronix, Inc., Then 17 years as production and quality manager with RELTEC/Marconi Communications. Medically retired, heart attacks, stroke, etc. Currently working on elements of family tree. Married a Rhode Island girl over 40 years ago, 2 daughters and 8 grandchildren.

I have enjoyed reading the emails concerning John Gerhart. I agree with those who knew him best. He was a special person. John was one of the first people I met in Abilene. I had just started South Junior High in the 8th grade, coming from NYC, and John introduced himself to me either on my first day or perhaps as late as the second day in school. We talked and he made me feel welcome.

Hey, thanks for starting this up.

Marilyn!

You were certainly not “invisible” to me, I remember you very well!!!! It is good to hear that you areback in Texas where you belong:) I retired once, too, and am thinking of it again, but it was too boring.

I hope you remember me?

We first established OUR values at the knee of our parents and Grandparents. We began sharing those values in elementary school ( Crockett, 3rd grade)and continued throughout Jr. and Sr. High,AHS, where else. Abilene was and still is a unique environment to rear children. I am thankful that my father had the “misfortune” of being transferred to Abilene when I was in the second grade.

I am so sorry to say, but I deleted a few of your emails before I recognized your name. It is so nice to see how good life has been for you and your family. I spent all of my youth in Abilene, but moved away the spring of my junior year at AHS. I ended up graduating from high school in Pennsylvania, but I never really knew many of those students so my heart has always been with AHS. Unfortunately, I was one of the “invisible” at North Junior High where we shared classes together and at AHS. I am no longer so quiet and definitely not invsible. Life has been good and I was blessed to give birth to two wonderful sons. One lives outside Buffalo, NY, and the youngest is in Austin,TX, working as law enforcement for one of the high schools. I currently am living in Odessa, TX, although we own property near Abilene. I have retired twice and am now thinking about going back to work. This time I will pick something less stressful.
