I was driving down the road one day and I asked myself this question, where
has all the Pecos people gone? This question makes me think of the country
song that has the verse "the world must be flat because people leave and
never come back". Many people, graduates or not, have departed Pecos and
never come back to visit. I wounder why this is. Pecos should have all
alumni reunion so all exes can get together and have one great time. If
anyone has a responses or comments please do not be afraid to speak out.

Joy, we are slowly but surly finding more and more of those wonderful people that graduated from Pecos High in 1957. Thanks mostly to this
site. It really makes my day when we can locate such wonderful people as Eddie and Paula Roberts.
If anyone reading this Gab line knows of
someone who graduated in 1957 please tell them to contact me by putting a note in the Pecos Gab and I will contact them. We have a
newsletter that goes out every so often keeping our classmates apprised of the goings on in the life of 57 Pecos High School ex's. Again
thanks.
Reflection
I met an old friend today from a long ago time.
I lied about his waistline and he in turn lied about mine.
I noticed as we talked two gray haired old gentleman were
standing to my right not far away.
One wore a cowboy hat,
like my friends to block the sun’s ray.
My friend and I relived a time of carefree youth.
And the fight in sixth grade when he knocked out my tooth.
I wondered if we would ever be as old a sight,
As the two gray haired old gentleman who were
standing to my right.
We talked of girlfriends who became wives,
that we would die without.
And the hills and valleys of our lives,
that were filled with joy and doubt.
As my friend tipped his cowboy hat and walked away,
One of the gray haired old gentleman on my right
turned and touched his hat in the same way.
As I stood and watched my friend disappear from sight.
I turned and smiled, at my reflection, in the window on my right.

mmfielder@aol.com
BEEN A LONG TIME BUT THE MEMORIES ARE STILL VERY STRONG. I LEFT PECOS ON
FEB. 15, 1975 AND LEFT A VERY SPECIAL PLACE AND SOME OF
THE BEST PEOPLE I HAVE KNOWN TO DATE. I RETURNED TO PECOS IN JULY 1995 AND
FOUND MANY CHANGES. MY WIFE OF 18 YEARS AND TWO CHILDREN HAD NEVER SEEN MY
HOMETOWN AND KNEW LITTLE OF THE
PLACE I HAD GROWN UP IN. I GAVE THEM THE GRAND TOUR WITH THE FULL
HISTORY OF EACH STOP ON THE TOUR. I HOPED TO SEE SOME OF THE OLD GANG STILL
JUST AS IT USE TO BE. I HAD NO LUCK AND I RESIGNED MYSELF TO THE FACT THAT
LIKE MYSELF THEY MUST HAVE MOVED ON.
WE WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE TOWN WHEN THE FAMILY VOTED TO EAT BEFORE WE HEADED
BACK TO MY UNCLES HOME IN MIDLAND. WE STOPPED AT THE D. Q. ACROSS FROM PHS
AND AS WE ATE I TOLD THE FAMILY ABOUT THE MANY PEOPLE WHO TOUCHED MY LIFE IN
THIS SMALL TOWN THAT HAS COME TO MEAN SO MUCH TO ME. IN A LAST DITCH ACT OF
DESPERATION TO SEE AT LEAST ONE PERSON FROM MY PAST. I ASKED THE YOUNG WOMAN
AT THE COUNTER IF SHE KNEW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE: THOMAS BEECHAM, JIMMY
EDWARDS, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN MEEK THE 3RD, "SORRY BENJI," TOM MEUTH, JOHNNY
ELLIOT,
, ETC.
THEN I CAME TO TONY DOWDY AND SHE TOLD ME THERE WAS A SGT.
ON PPD NAMED DOWDY. WE FINISHED OUR MEAL, I TOOK MY FAMILY TO MEET THE MVP OF
THE HICKORY STREET ALL-STARS . WHEN WE GOT TO THE STATION SGT. DOWDY WAS NOT
THERE. IT WAS HIS DAY OFF AND IN
KEEPING WITH POLICY THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHERE HE LIVED. SO I
TOLD THE KIDS THEY WOULDN'T BE MEETING CROWBAR DOWDY THIS TIME.
THEN A YOUNG OFFICER WHO HAD GROWN UP IN PECOS AND HAD AN OLDER BROTHER WHO
PLAYED BALL WITH US.
UPON HEARING ME CALL HIM CROWBAR TOLD THE DISPATCHER TO
GIVE ME TONY'S ADDRESS. WE WENT TO TONY'S HOME AND WHEN HE OPENED THE DOOR I
WAS HOME AGAIN FOR THAT ALL TOO BRIEF MOMENT. THANK YOU PECOS. IT IS A POINT
OF PRIDE FOR ME TO INFORM PEOPLE THAT I AM FROM PECOS, TEXAS.

Well, well, well. Now this is a very nice and surprising site. I guess Ray Boulter has it right about
marriages that last for Pecos people.
Paula and I eloped (some of you will remember) then spent many many years overseas. 27 out of
32 to be exact. 20 with the US Army (Military Attache, Embassy) duties and then 12 with the US
State Department overseas.
Can't begin to tell you all about it here. Someday maybe. Our children keep tell us we need to write
a book. Just might do that for them one of these days. For our precious grand children only of course.
It would be great to hear from any and all of you old timers from the class of '57. We didn't graduate
with you but our hearts were always with you.
Most of you will remember us as Eddie Roberts and Paula Morris. It will be 45 years for us this year.
We are looking ahead to many more, our Lord willing.

It seems that every time I bring up the Pecos gab line someone is saying, "I married a girl or guy from Pecos 30-40 years ago". Maybe it was
something in the water in Pecos. It just seems that many of those marriages are blessed and continue past the ones that seem to start and end
within a year or two. But more than that each of these people continue to use the words "still in love with", or "met my beautiful wife 30 or 40
years ago".
I have often said that nothing makes a woman more beautiful than a pair of cowgirl boots, jeans and a cowboy hat. Most of these
unions began their courtship in school or college. Maybe we should rename Pecos High school and call it the fountain of youth for marriages
because Pecos couples seem to stay together longer and be happier.
However not only marriages but friendships that started in Pecos seem to go on and on and are more blessed each year. I am sure that the fact
all of these wonderful people are from Pecos is only a coincidence and that you could find the same situation in hundreds of homes towns all
over America. However it is nice to say, "I met my wife in Pecos, Texas Or I married a perfect girl from Pecos Texas".
It is always a great joy to read the messages that you continue to receive Joy. Again thanks for you work.

Hello Pecos,
I barely graduated with the class of 1978, I suppose, because I drove around

whipping every school in football that school year except Andrews. Believe me,
we were a tough flock of eagles - thanks to Coach Milsaps. At any rate, I'm
writing to find out how I can get my hands on an annual of my senior year, since
I lost it many years ago to vandalism. Does anyone know how? And if you do
know how, please write me and let me know real soon. And, please, forgive me

Peggy -
Ran across the web site - looks really good - been a long time but I
still have fond memories of Pecos and often have done something to
benefit the community over the years. Old loyalties, you know. Finally
got out of chamber of commerce work after 27 years and now and now am
the asst. dir. for a community action agency here in Amarillo. Mostly I
write, with 8 books done 6 still for sale and two under contract to come
out this year.
I
ended up marrying my high school sweetheart some 30 years after we went
together.
Teresa has two kids and Bryan has one. I have two others via Saundra.
Youngest is 3, oldest is 17.
Like I say, I did chamber work for 27 years, then stayed home and wrote
full time for three years. Often did things during the chamber years
and even yet to help Pecos. Old habits and loyalties die hard. I've
sold articles, poetry for greeting cards, and published four
non-fiction books related to chamber work. Since I've started writing
fiction I've written ten novels.

Editor's note: Terry was chamber manager in the 70s when I was managing editor of the Enterprise. He brought me KFC as a bribe to write nice things about the chamber. He was also a great help in covering some events we couldn't get to.

Hello from the salt capital, Grand Saline, Texas. I have been reading the Pecos Gab and have found a lot of people that I would love to see. This
is Connie Beckham Lott, a graduate of 1974. I now live in Grand Saline with my husband Frank Lott who was from the big town of Toyah.
We
have two beautiful daughters Sallee', 17 and Abby, 14. Sallee' will be graduating in May and attending East Texas Baptist University majoring in
marketing and playing on the girl's golf team. Abby is a freshman and loves playing varsity basketball. She does quite well for a shortie. Frank
has worked for Delhi Gas Corporation for the past 25 years, now known as KOCH. I have been in education for 20 years and currently, I am the
principal at the best little school in "East Texas," Grand Saline Elementary. It is amazing how small our world really is, as Marilyn Neslony Smith
is one of my greatest first grade teachers and lived right up the block from me when we were growing up.
If anyone lives in our area and has an early childhood degree, come by and see me. I am always looking for great, enthusiastic teachers when
we have openings.
My mom and dad, Fred and Beverley Beckham live in Grand Saline too. Dad is still his humorous self and my mom works as an executive
secretary at Austin Bank.
Mike Beckham is my brother and lives in McKinney, Texas and Patti Beckham, my sister lives in Weatherford, Texas.
It is good to read and find out where everyone is living. Orla, well what memories we have to tell. Hello again to everyone back in Pecos and

Hi Pecos, I recently discovered the Pecos gab site.Sure have enjoyed the reading.I graduated in 1971,and left pecos in 1976
. I have visited home many times over the past years, as my folks still lived in the area,until this past year.This summer I got to
spend some time with David Pattillo, his wife Jan, and John and Linda Clark as well as Beau Jack and Tina Hendrick. I have
missed them all and they are all special friends. If anyone knows of Steve Beauregard's , Bill Mauldin, or Tom Passmore's
where abouts, let me know
Thanks Jim Dearing

I have been reading the Pecos gab for a few months now, since I heard
about it through a blast from my past and have recognized alot of
names. I really haven't anything special to say, but did want to get my
e-mail address out there in case any classmates from PHS in the early
70's remember me. I did not graduate from Pecos. I moved on to El Paso
my sophmore year, but I had family still there for years, and would go
back to visit often. My 2 brothers, David & Clifford, went there also,
and are now living in Midland within 1 mile from my mom.
I have been in Phoenix, AZ since 1979. I am married to my high school
sweetheart from El Paso - Rick, have two boys 17 & 15, Brandon & Jason.
My name is Karen Vinson Darancou. Ring a bell to anyone? Hope so, and
Happy New Year!

Hi friends in Pecos.
I thought it would be fun to let you know that Sindy and I are now up and running
on the internet.
I am still working for the Taylor County Sheriffs Dept. as a patrol supervisor
Sindy and I have two wonderful children,Clay 9 and Christen 5. Sindy is
working for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas as a customer dervice rep.
We have a wonderful church,FBC Buffalo Gap. We were excited to find
several people from Pecos there. Scott and Lisa Turner, Mr and Mrs Allan
Jones, Shaun [Burke] Woodly, and on occassion we see Truman Turk there.
Peggy it is great to see that you are doing so much to keep Pecos in minds
and hearts. God bless you. Wade told me about the site several months
ago but we just got our computer yesterday and I could not wait to find it.
God Bless You All,
Mitchell McLain

Hi Pecos,
I haven't written in awhile. I am so glad that Pecos Gab is still going
strong. Just wanted to tell everyone that I hope you had a nice Christmas and
wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
My mom and dad live in Midland and my mother-in-law still lives in Pecos. We
get out that way some, but not as much as we would like.
My dad just recently had a triple bypass and I was in Midland during that
time. I ran into Larry and Martha Fleming at the hospital. It was really
good to see them. My dad is recovering slowly but thank the good Lord he is
still with us.
Hope you are all doing well.
Good to see that Joy is still writing in. Hi Joy!!
Take care everyone and Peggy, keep Pecos Gab going. I still hear from long
lost friends. It is so nice!!
