CommentsJan we sure missed you last night I think I can speak for everyone, we all had a great time. Alot of people showed up. But so far we have to say the most changed is Rae Boagard She looks fabulous. I would have never guessed it to be her. Just about everyone else looks about the same. Do you suppose its because we are all growing old at the same time?? Well Im waiting on Sandy Lapuzza to get here she didnt make it in last. We played a mean game of quarters. Me, Jana, Todd A.,Chris W.,Karla ,Sherri, Jennifer,Lisa Ward. I think I was probably the worst out of them all. Well I better get off here. I'll be talking to ya. And who the heck is Chi Chi Rodriguez????? Im not sure whos missing out of the golfers. Bye
CommentsSteve L, Bucko, John D, Jerry W, and me kicked butt on the golf course today, beating Monte, PD, Mark O, Chris W and Steve N by one stroke in a four man scramble. John D was our ringer, making most of the shots and putts, but Jerry came on strong on the back nine, making several fine shots and one very impressive drive on the double-dogleg 12th. OU beat OSU in the college putt-off, with an honorable mention for Lamar U. Did I get everything right? I only had five hours' sleep, and my memory isn't as good as it once was anyway. Beers were cracked at 8am by the opposing team, and the round of tequila shots at the turn didn't help them at all. I think that they might have had a near-fatal golf cart accident, breaking several expensive golf clubs in the process, or maybe I'm making that part up. Liz and Debbie were driving the beer cart! Lots of laughter and good times for all.
CommentsThe Skyline and the Dew Drop!! Now there are some good times! Mom loved the Dew Drop!! It's 8pm, 10pm at 1896, I hope you all are having fun!
CommentsThe club up north off of 69 was called the Skyline for a while? The house band, from Tulsa, was The Most Valuable Players or something like that. They did "Free Ride" as their signature song. That was a fun club!
CommentsKathy, Mrs. Wright!! That's her. Tall thin old and black hair! It's all slowly coming back!
CommentsNoNoNo, I just remember your mom and Earlene over at Diana' s house. Earlene is alive and kicking and living in Eufaula . scl
CommentsHi Camille! Thanks. So, did we loose Earline too?? She is?was? a funny lady! Third and Miami is "home"! Jan
CommentsOk I think I pushed a button I shouldnt have. Jan I think the typing teachers name was Mrs.Wright wasnt it was she elderly with Black hair? I remember all those days driving while drinking. Thank God we are all still alive and we didnt end up in jail at the time. I think the metal building you are talking about by walmart was called the Dew Drop Inn wasnt it? I tried getting in that thing where you give a passwork but it just gets hung up. Am I doing something wrong? Where are you all seeing pictures of David at? I need Help!!!!!! Camille I am glad your coming tonight. I'll see you there. Jan I wish you could be there. We'll make a toast and drink a beer for you. Well Im just about to get off work so gotta go. Bye
CommentsJan Ive been meaning to post you a note ever since I first read one from you.Remember all bike rides to the country club? I can rember going up osage hill... remember getting picked up by t.w. and david r.? what losers I cant believe I stuck with that one for all those years, it had to be the drugs,hahahaha I think about you and your family often every time I drive by your old house.Im sorry about your mom she was one of a kind,her and Earlene both. I see Diana's dad alot,and Brandi too.I had not heard about her and James getting back together yet. Iknew she was living in Florida and so was James. Well the baby's crying, between my 4 year old son and my newborn I don't know if I'm coming or going. Takecare. p.s. David I see where your also one of those late bloomers in the parenting dept. my first was a surprise and the second was a shock.
CommentsOh dear Sheri! We were involved in so many quarter games, after 20 years they have all merged together. I just remember the front round table at 1896 by the door. We sat there way too many times!! And just think, at the time we were all under age!! Remember our fake driver's licenses?? How many of us had one? I could name a few but will allow those violators the chance to come clean on their own :)) We used them to get into that dance club up the road a bit that looked like a big metal barn. What was that one called? or the club near Wal-Mart. Can I just say how stupid we were to drive on the highway around SouthEastern Oklahoma under the influence as often as we did! From Big Mac to the dance club or to Number 9 and back! Hello!! I definetly remember the fun but I am a little fuzzy on the details. My brother says I moved out here and conveniently forgot all of the "bad" things I did. Please get on the mail list and send me Diana's info if you could. I think my brother said Diana's mother had a lung removed !?! The big "C" again. I too had a little trouble signing up initially but it finally worked and I have enjoyed those emails as much as this page. Kathy, I do talk to Denielle quite a few times each year. We keep intouch although we haven't seen each other in more than a few years. I tried to call her this morning in Dallas and at her mom's but no answer. I am sure you will all see her tonight! And do I need to remind you all what a great yearbook staff you had???? That was fun too. What was the art teacher's name that we worked with?? We would take off in Kelly Vaughan's little brown car (Pinto??) during class to go "sell" ads for the yearbook. Or take pictures! We would usually end up at Braums and come screeching back into the next class at the bell! Typing I believe, with that long skinny lady. Wasn't she weird? Well, I am rambling and feeling sorry for myself that I am not there with you all! Have a great weekend! Jan
Commentskathy,yes um coming to 96 but still havent decided about sat, night. excuse my typing but im holding a 6 week old in my arms. please give the oldest new mommy award to me. sheri whats your excuse? who are you holding? david i tried the coolist also it says owner priviledge or something to that effect. peace to all....camille
CommentsWell its Friday and most people are probably traveling in. David the answer to your question about the yearbook still being the dancing rabbit is, yes it still is called that. I dont think its as good as the yearbooks that we used to have. The pictures in it are so small that you can hardly tell who it is. They try to cram to much in it. Well that was probably more info than you asked for huh? This page is great!! Thanks for doing this David. I hope that we can continue to visit with each other this way even after the reunion is all over. Camille have you decided if your coming yet? Drew do you still have long hair? If I remember right it was to your shoulders at our 10yr.Am I remembering right??? My brain is going as I get older to much partying when I was younger. See ya tonight.
CommentsJim, if you really want some lone star, I'll send some over, but it's not very good. It's the Rolling Rock of Texas, not as good as Buttwiper. I'll send over some Carta Blanca, something you might drink a lot of in a border town, but the cool thing is that there's a place on the bottom of the bottle that you use to twist off the top of your next beer, a cool gimmick that will make you very popular! I just spent last night in Norman, saw some old bandmates. Call it a mini-reunion. We didn't play any quarters, maybe tonight!
CommentsDid not realize until now that you could not subscribe to the Coollist Listserv from their web site. I apologize for that oversight. So I made my own subscription form. Just click on "Listserv Subscription Form" at the bottom of this page, or click on the Buffalo at the top and look for the Listserv link on the main page. Fill out the form and I will send an invitation in a couple of days.
CommentsSheri, please do not post any street or email addresses in this forum. Please use the Listserv and that way it is kept in email. Call me paranoid, however you have seen that there are people other than MHS 1982 graduates looking at this page. To that end I removed all email addresses from this site. At least that will cut down on the spam you may receive (yes, spammers harvest email addresses off web sites.) Everyone, if you have not done so already, please subscribe to the Listserv. You are missing a whole different level of communication that comes to you in your email. Don't know if I make it to 1896, but I will see you at the reunion.
CommentsJan, I had Diana's address but I gave it to Debbie. She is going to emial it back to me and I will post it on here for you, ok. Her granny (Oleta) died last month and I have a sympothy card to send her. Her mom is good and lives in Eufaula. I see her dad at the elks lodge every Fri. nite. He is doing good. He said she was back with James and they are both in Florida. I havent heard anything about her being sick, I hope not. I spoke to Karla's mom today and they are traveling in tomorrow and she is coming to the reunion. It's been 20 years since i last played quarters....I don't even drink very often...and I may end up under the table but I'll play as long as I don't have to sit by Mark Zummer again....he nearly killed me a week before graduation with that game. Remember......I drove you home that night. I'll be thinking of ya
CommentsHi everyone. I just found out about this page from Camille. This is really cool. I am really looking forward to see everyone. I just talked to Janet Manos and she said that Larry Davis told her that he might be here. Sheri said so far we have about 90 people and that includes spouses. Dawn and Margaret I really am sad that you both cant make it. I sure remember all the good ole days that we had together. Dawn I see your parents alot here and there. They both look great. I bet your mom is sick of those crutches though. Well here is a little about whats been going on in my life. As most of you know I married Johnny Oss out of High School. We had one son together. His name is Ryan. He graduated from High School this year. After 9 years of marriage we divorced. I am now remarried going on 8 years now and have a 8 year old daughter, Nicole. I have stayed around McAlester all these years. I guess I'll be here forever. Tim Epps that is a name that I havent heard in forever. When I think of you Tim I think of Red Hair and freckles. Did you have red hair when we were young? Did you say you were gonna make it to the reunion? Jan do you stay in touch with Denielle? I know she mentions you when I get to see her.Hello to everyone on this page and I cant wait to see all of you that are coming. Be careful traveling.And I'll see you Friday night. Bye
CommentsI emailed Karla and she is doing well in Mississippi. I turned her on to the website. She wasn't sure if they were going to be able to get to McAlester this weekend. JD
CommentsI am sooo bummed out. I am sitting here at work, not travelling to Big Mac. You all really have to post all of the happenings as soon as you get back home. Is everyone driving in?? Jackie do you drive from Nashville?? Stevie, are you driving in with FOUR kids in the car?? Is everyone bringing their families? I am so envious. Sheri, I would really like to get in touch with Diana. Do you have any contact info? Is she okay?? Is her mom okay?? Or did I hear she got sick? Thanks. I will be thinking of you all sitting in 1896 playing quarters! I can just see it! Bounce one for me. I know Pam and Eddie know about the reunion through Denielle but last I heard Eddie will be working and Pam was hesitant to come by herself! Go figure. Tried to catch Lisa Young but surely she will show up. Take pictures and post everything!! Be safe and have fun! Jan
Commentshi again, Jan, I'm sorry about your mom. She was working at the clinic with my mom when she got sick. Her and my mom became good friends and mom went to see her often after she had to quit. I saw her when i visited the clinic and she told me you and don were both doing very well. She was a great lady. Keep in touch. see ya.

CommentsHi Everyone, I haven't been keeping up with all these conversations until today. I've been soo busy. I was in Cancun for a week and got behind. Jan, Diana is in Florida and her dad told me she can't make it. I havent heard from Karla but i plan to call her. Has anyone heard if Eddie and Pam Sander are coming? I can't wait till Friday to see everyone.
CommentsHas anyone heard from Kenny Bensen over the last twenty years? Kathy M. was wondering.I hope you all have safe trip,and I hope to see you all Friday night. CIAO FOR NOW!!!!!!
CommentsTodd, the last I heard Phillip is not coming. He had other obligations. Is anyone up for a game of quarters on Friday night? Of course, we will have to change the rules a bit. I would be on the floor after one loss. Everybody have a safe trip. I look forward to seeing you all.
CommentsI am away for a few days and the whole world goes crazy! I heard about the immature attempt to mess with the board. I certainly hope it was some kid who had way too much free time because I pity any "grown up" who would be that childish. I'll again join the "David praise" and thank you for all your hard work and effort. As for the beer...Drew I am deeply hurt and shocked that you would call me on the whole beer thing. I am afraid I will be scarred for life and might never recover...sobbing uncontrollably...ok, I am over it! I thought about sending you a case of some of Texas great beers (Lone Star, Rattlesnake, etc...) just to make good but thought better of it. Although, I do like the idea of you guys coming up here to collect, I have come to a compromise. Since you and Jackie have been so entertaining the past few weeks, I thought I should split the case between the two of you. The only question is what beer? I could go with a local beer like Dominion or Foggy Bottom. Head up to Pennsylvania and do Rolling Rock (a classic on par with those fine Texas brews)or Yuengling. The only beverages off the table are Budweiser and Coors products, after all, we are talking beer!
Commentsok, we're off! See you guys tomorrow. (Here's your chance, Drew... beer or no case of beer, you can at least beat ME!) lol Safe travels all. :)
Commentsoooooo, I just wanna see what stuff comes up for my puter. I won't know what any of it means, but y'alls sure are interesting... And...I'll be leaving for Big Mac in the early a.m. I'll do my darndest to post the ceremonial "one day left" post. Feels like my own little tradition at this point. :) 'night all...
CommentsI'm not sure if I can bring the botulism toxim (Botox). Maybe instead we'll all get salmonella from dinner. Hey Steve L. have you heard if Fly Freeman is coming?
CommentsThis page will now capture and display your remote computer name, just to keep everyone honest.
CommentsDare I say... 2 days... (Thanks so much David)
CommentsSorry that happened, David. It kinda spoils the mood, at least for a little while. That was juvenile, and cowardly, and that person needs help before something a lot more serious happens. Thanks again for putting up this website, and for putting up with crap like that. Drew
CommentsI envoked my webmaster privlidges and removed the awful comments that Krystal (No, you will stalk me) added to the site. I hope that she will find happiness before her anger consumes her. Also took out the juvenile attempts to add html coding in a text box. I suppose there is a way you could hack into this site, however that was not it. For everyone else, I bid you peace.
CommentsI would do that, just to make Jim eat crow, but, out of respect for our webmaster, and everyone else that would have to deal with reading 100 posts in a row, I won't. That guy's all talk anyway, he would buy me the case of beer, but I'd have to go to DC to get it! P.S. Don't ask how I got that nickname. P.S.S. We're even again.
Comments3 days... (Drew, don't even think about taking Jim E. up on his case of beer by getting 100 posts before Saturday. On second thought, if anyone can do it, you can. Besides, I hate beer. And Jim, you may just have to anti up... hope you were serious!!) hahahahahaha
CommentsLarry D. is in Caracas, Venezuala. His company moved him there almost two years ago I think. He was just in town because of an unrest near Caracas a couple of weeks ago. He said times were still uneasy and said they may have to leave again. If that happens he may be able to get back for the reunion. Ricky P., Who is driving the beer cart on Saturday?
CommentsHey Droop...you crack me up! Tues, Wed, Thurs, Friday...that makes 4 days and counting. (hey, I'm havin' fun, alright.) :)
CommentsYes, I'm also wondering who did that last post...they forgot to put their name in! And what's that about Larry? What country is he in, and what's he doing? For everyone that won't be able to make it, we'll hoist one for ya!
CommentsCountdown is still on. We're at 5 days out. :) Who's post was that last one? Whoever it was, I'm gonna stand in line behind you to get a consult from Todd. haha Oh Todd, can you bring the botulism...we can have a botox party! (just kidding, of course) Drew, are we tied again now? Why'd you have to count, dude? Now I'm gonna obsess...help! ;-P
CommentsHi Rae, Dawn, and Todd. How are you guys? Dawn, I'm so sorry you won't be able to attend, but what your doing is worth it. I admire you working will children. You are right about kids today. We were so normal. Kids today have so many problems. It's very sad. Good to hear from you Todd. I look forward to seeing you next weekend. Maybe I could get an estimate on the years of damage. HaHa! I imagine everyone will be standing in line to talk to you. Have you heard if Larry is coming? Janet Manos said that there is a lot of fighting in his country, and that he is coming back for the reunion. Is that true? It's also good to hear from you Rae. It's been about 10 years. Have a safe trip. See everyone on Friday!!!!
CommentsHah! Now I'm ahead by one!!
CommentsIncluding this post, we're even at 11 each!!
CommentsOK, Steve's off! Have a good trip, Steve! I'm not leaving until Thursday. I'm sure everyone will be trickling in day by day... yep, it's now "6" days and counting. haha :) (and no, I'm not competing with Drew for the most posts...I'm NOT! REALLY!!! haha)
CommentsHi All. Well, I am leaving for Big Mac in just a few hours. So see you all next weekend. Sorry to hear that some won't be able to make it.
CommentsTodd said that I had too many posts, and that I can't post anym.....too late! Rae, I'm glad that you're going to make it!
CommentsHow did I miss the "8 day" mark? OH NO!!! haha... Rae! Yes, I'll be calling you today. SO GLAD TO SEE YOU!!!! Can't wait to give you a big hug in person! 7 days, people... :)
CommentsHello everyone!! Jackie thanks for sending me this link...great idea. It's been fun reading. How wonderful to hear from so many classmates! Sorry for not doing a better job of keeping in touch. We are living in Houston and have two girls Leigh(9) and Abbie(3). I missed the 10 year reunion but won't miss this one. Can't wait to see everybody again.
CommentsHi Todd and Dawn! FUN! Good to hear what you guys are up to. Sounds like life is full! Sorry you can't come, Dawn...and yes, I agree...let's keep writing here. And Todd, it'll be good to see ya! Drewstah! You keep 'em coming now! But don't be skeerd...haha. I don't think anyone here bites. ;-P I left a message at a house I think is Rae Bogard's today...but it was Jerry (her husband) on the machine, and hopefully she'll get the message. I think her parents still live in McAlester...anyone know Phyllis Bogard that lives there??? I should try to call her tomorrow, I guess. I sure would like to see Rae again. Debbie Burrows...are you the one that's on the planning committee? Or whoever is, I'm wondering about details. Was all the info on the invitation that we need to know? (I guess I could go LOOK! HA!) Just fill us in on what's goin on... What do you have in store for the festivities???? OK, 9 days... :)
CommentsWoW, This is wonderful, I am very happy about this web site!!! Okay my friend Margaret was more than likely drinking, I was at a middle school teaching students with emotional problems, but now I am at a High School doing the same thing, It is pretty fun and very crazy at times. Believe me students are alot more disfunctional now than WE ever thought we were.Yeah its true.. Well I am also not going to be able to go to the big party at MHS . Of all the weeks I have to be at Camp this weekend begins mine.The kids are from a childrens hospitial they all either have a blood diseases or cancer, I am doing a leadership program for kids ages 16&17 (yeah I know me training leadership)Anyway I have done this camp for three years and it would be impossible to get out the first weekend of training sooooooo..I will miss all of you But this is wonderful getting to hear what everyone is up to so keep on writing
CommentsHey everyone! I am having a few flashbacks just reading everyone's e-mail. Sure brings back alot of great memories just seeing everyone's name again. Drew, however, I think you've had your limit of e-mails on this web site. Margaret, are you still in Houston? I've been in Houston since 1990 - Plastic surgeon. I'm still married to Missy (17 years) with Taylor(boy)- 10 and Kayleigh - 8. Steve L. thanks for referring the web site. I'll see everyone at the reunion.
Comments10 days??? I can't go, I'm skeeerd!
CommentsMargaret, We'll miss ya! But goodness...where you'll be is much more important. Hope all goes perfectly well for your brother. God bless him, your family, and the kidney donor! I'm big on the idea of donating organs. What am I gonna do w/them when I die? Why not save a life! And if I ever get to CA again, I'll sure call, although John's brother's stint w/GM in CA will be over this summer, and they're moving back to Michigan. But I've never been to Lake Tahoe...so...maybe I'll get out there someday. Hope so! Hey there Jana~! :) I know we email a bit, but it's always good to see you in person~! And yes, I heard Pam's recital was one for the books! Wish I could make that sometime. We just had ours all weekend long, and boy am I glad it's finished. And with that, I've kinda lost track of what had been said/asked/discussed/etc., as of about a week ago I've been too busy to check in on the puter too much, and mom was in town, which was nice. So today things are getting back to summah~! YAY! I'm really looking forward to our reunion, and getting to see and talk to everyone~! Steve D...I'm vaguely recalling (maybe it was on the email thing...) you wondering if I remember you. ??? Am I dreaming that? haha If you did say that, I just want to say that OF COURSE I remember you living right across the street from Jana! I think I spent half my childhood on E street. Your life in Florida sounds great. It's so fun getting back in touch! :) ok, just wanted to check in. When does the countdown begin? Let's see...is it TODAY? (Tuesday) 10 days and counting...
CommentsI've just found out I won't be able to get back for the reunion after all. My brother is about to undergo a kidney transplant (hopefully very soon), so instead of going to Big Mac, I will go to Houston to see him. I'm sorry I won't make it. If any of you are ever in Northern California, please call. San Francisco and Lake Tahoe are only 1 1/2 hours away from my home in Sacramento. Jackie, Pleasanton is around an hour away, so call next time you are coming. For those of you who can make it, have a great time at the reunion. Please post all the stories after it's over so the rest of us can read about it!

CommentsJan, You are so right. Losing a parent is the hardest thing I've ever faced. It's a loss that can not be explained. I thought Mom would live forever. I figured I would build a Mom apartment in my yard. It's very hard to live life without Mom, especially with this new baby. She would have loved him. I wish you were coming to the reunion. Maybe the next time you are in the area we could all get together. Steve L., I just saw your mom and dad at a wedding last Saturday night. They look wonderful. Your mom called me pumpkin. I love it when she calls me that. Is Phillip coming to the reunion? I believe Angelo is coming. I can't believe we have baby boys about the same age. Conner will be 2, August 1. Well, better go. See you next week.
CommentsJan, thanks for the info. Yes, all those counties are very large, that's why I would want the small car, because they wouldn't pay me enough for the SUV. I also applied for jobs in San Diego county (wouldn't that be nice) and Santa Clara county, but I didn't have enough experience for either one. And yes, I know what FORD stands for, there's even another one that's not fit to print, and if you're a fan, it's First On Race Day.... Yeah, Jenna Bush, I can't get rid of her...she's always showing up at my door with a 12-pack and a bottle of tequlia under her arm, or doing the booty call at 2:30 at night...I have to constantly turn her away! I tried to call her dad to get her to stop, but they won't put me through to the Oval Office for some reason!
CommentsDrew, I just re-read your post. At least you don't have to do Ventura County which is to the north of LA County. Still, allot of territory with allot of cars and people. Just make sure you'll get compensated for the travel. San Bernadino County is all the way to the East border and North to the 15 (to Las Vegas). I don't know about a little car! You'll be a peanut on the road. All of these people out here think bigger is better. You should see the huge FORD's (found on road dead) on the road. There are big huge SUV's and Truck's everywhere you look. How's that for an opinion! One more thing, as I remember you from high school......is it really a good idea to have a wild and crazy partier like Jenna looking in on you out there? I don't see how that helps the situation!! haha Have a good day. Jan
CommentsSimple Drew, that's mucho driving. Basically all of Southern Cal x San Diego! Depends on how often you have to cover that much territory! More details if you need them.
CommentsGreetings all. Jana, what a nice suprise. We really did have some fun times in that old neighborhood. My neighbor next door has a dog that looks just like Skoie (is that the correct spelling?) Roger J. you probably remember Jana's dog. Jan, you mentioned big Olie. Remember what a huge OU fan he was? I guess he was the first person that made me an OU fan and eventually an OU grad. Paul (Bucko), I remember your dog too. Pluto. Boy did that dog have a bark. Well, nothing too exciting in my life right now. My wife and I are enjoying the beaches here in Florida and we are doing some traveling. Other than that, the hospital keeps me busy (I'm a hospital administrator - they don't let me very close to the patients). Take care all. Great hearing from you. Does anyone know if our former teachers were invited to the reunion? Steve Dunn |
