I live in Ft Worth now and no one that I work with had ever heard of a Frito
Burger. Dairy Mart was a daily stop for me when I was in Pecos. I finally
found a place here that made them but they didn't even compare.

The streaker's name was Jaime. It is driving me crazy trying to remember his last name. He had a brother named David that graduated in
1978.
Jaime was a hoot, always doing somthing crazy.
Last time I heard about him he was married (to a Pecos girl) living in Midland. He was instrumental in the rescue of "Baby
Jessica", or at least he was one of the brave guys that climbed into that hole and did the digging. I really admire that.

MY name is Ray Boulter and while I am kind of a old Cowboy film star fan, I am not an expert. However most of what you heard about Whip
Wilson was made up. He was a B cowboy movie star in the 40s and did achieve a little success right around the time that Gene Autry was
going into his own production company and Whip was slated to replace Lash Larue. . The thing about Pecos was not quiet true. You can go
to the following web site, scroll down to Whip Wilson's name and click on it. Their is quiet a long story about Whip. and some good
information if you are curious.

Does anyone remember Woolly Booger Road? Or Judy's Office? Or

Or all the keggers we pulled on the wonderful, balmy, sandy beach of

All this reminiscing about food made me think of the chocolate ice cream sundaes with marshmallow cream on top that we enjoyed at
Bozeman's Drug. The twirlers of the classes of 1966 and 1967 consumed enough of those to make us all "large" size. And remember the old
fashioned banana splits at the Woolworth's? My Mom took me there everyday after school in Jr. High to try to put weight on me. Well,
Mom, it finally worked!

Questions and Memories from Barbara Johnson Whisenhunt, Class of 61
Date:
Tue, 2 May 2000 17:11:59 -0500
From:
"Whisenhunt, Barbara" Whiseba@TulsaSchools.org
In case you missed my earlier e-mail - I am the daughter of L.B. (Barrett)
and Ruth Johnson; sister of Steve ('57), Phil ('58) and Cindy ('64). I have
two sons, a husband who retired and started a new career, and I am the
Budget Director for Tulsa Public Schools. I love working but many days wish
it wasn't 40+ hours a week!
I need help on a mystery! In the Tulsa paper TV World there was a question
about Whip Wilson who was a star of old B Westerns. I remember Lash LaRue
and watching the serials at the Cats Theater (think it cost a dime), and
have a dim recollection of another serial with a whip.
The answer to the question was that Whip Wilson had made movies between 1948
and 1952 - his horse was Silver Bullet and his sidekick was Andy Clyde. He
died in 1964 at the age of 45. His real name was Charles Meyer and he was
from PECOS, TEXAS! Does anyone have any memories of him or his being from
Pecos??
I must not have eaten that much food at Al's or the suggested Dairy places.
I think I was just there for the fellowship! But all this talk about their
food reminds me of Ben's Spanish Inn. Cindy and I were in Pecos several
years ago - we dreamed and planned and dreamed more about eating at Ben's
every day and then having those wonderful milkshakes from Bozeman's Drug.
We were devastated to find that Ben's was closed and Bozeman's no longer had
their ice cream counter! Those were the best shakes EVER!
We happened to be there during homecoming (missed the game) and it was
wonderful! Pecos always had a lot of spirit but I am not sure I remember
the stores decorating for homecoming. It was great - the windows were done
in purple and gold with signs, etc. The whole town was into it! And the
corsages were huge - some had 6 to 8 mums, ribbons to the feet, etc. The
boys wore arm bands with mum and ribbons to the hand. Even the elementary
students ordered them!
I don't know about other places, but the large Tulsa High Schools just don't
have the spirit we did. Remember the ribbons of car lights going to
football games? You didn't want to be on the road on Friday nights unless
you were going to a game. Those were the "good old" days that we didn't
appreciate enough at the time!

Well glad everyone remembered Belles name, funny how things like that come
back to you. Well lets hear from anyone who remembers "Robinson Hole" down
on the Pecos River? Drove out there the last time i was in Pecos and didnt
look like you could get to that spot anymore. Danged barbed wire fences and
locked gates.
Apparently cant get to the "circle" anymore either. What is this world
coming to?
Oh well, i'm to old to go to either place anymore. When we bought our
current home the next door neighbor was Tom's daughter, the fellow who owned
the Dairy Mart. He came by one day and we had a great chat. He didnt seem
to remember as having as much fun in Pecos as I did. Funny, I guess it is a
matter of perspective.
Ya'll have a good one.

Danny Danials was double parked behind me at Al's when someone pulled up
with a gun. Danny got out of his car to see what was the deal and the
fella ask him if he wanted to die, pointing the gun to his head. Danny
said no and the boy moved the 22 handgun to the right of Danny and
fired. His blue green Ford Falcon was behind my 57 Chev and I couldn't
get out. He was dating one of the Stubblefield twins at the time and she
was with him. What a night!
Also in 1967 can soft drinks had just been invented. Jeff Lowrance and
I sat across the street from Al's trying to lure the cops over by
pretending and acting we were drinking. RIGHT!
I remember Dairy Maid had yellow lights around the place at night. The
menu included things like "Saddle and Spur" or "Never been Rode". Does
anyone remember Christopher Columbus BBQ and Slicks.

It's hard to believe that Johnny and I have been gone from Pecos for nearly

Hi, this is Peggy McCracken ("Junior" ) checking in to tell you all that
ya'll have made my tastebuds incredibly homesick with all this talk of Dairy
Mart and Al's!! Dairy Mart's Frito Burgers deserve to be their own
foodgroup!!! I've tried to fake it at a couple of places in St. Louis, but
it just isn't the same!!!! (There is no faking Al's chili fries... it took
me a long time to break that addiction!) And oh, Sour Cherry Lime!!! They
do not understand how to quench a thirst in the Midwest!!! There's a little
burg about 20 miles out that has a Sonic, and I've been "training" them for
two summers now....they make sweet cherry limes, but they don't get the sour
part.... "you want HOW MANY limes in there? ...and you're gonna put SALT in
it????" The good news is that I heard a news story yesterday saying that Rodeo is
becoming a big sport in St. Louis. (Of course they think they have to build
a domed stadium...)
My dear Mother still sends me frozen tamales ... and the local grocer has
finally started carrying green enchilada sauce (about time, since Old El Paso
is owned by Pet, based in St. Louis!!!), so I am surviving.
There are a couple of people I have lost track of that I'd love to hear news
of: Brenda (Day) Kilpatrick, Charlie Meek, Linda Baker.
I'm really enjoying the site, Mom!! See you the first week of August.

The Belle, was Belle Myers, a rather short, heavy, woman. She carhopped
at several places in town. Another long time employee was Kay Greer, she
was redhaired and very set in her ways, a delight to all who came in
contact with her.Then there was Helen, a bohunk as she described
herself,. Very thick south central Texas accent. Funny thing tho, the
carhops got older faster than most of us did. I don't mean that the way
it sounds, Alma had to keep hiring older women, because the younger ones
kept running off to get married.

Peggy,
I take the time to read Pecos Gab every 2 or 3 months. I enjoy reading
the messages from the "old" and "older" Pecos residents. I just got
through e-mailing an old friend that I do not remember seeing since we
graduated from high school in 1976, Hiram Reyes, and I look forward to
hearing back from him. (Saw his message and address on Pecos Gab). My
sister, formerly Gay LaJuan Reynolds, graduated in 1963 (I think since I
was only 5 years old at the time) and she lives in San Carlos,
California and my brother Danny graduated in 1967, and lives in
Balmorhea now. Anyway, I appreciate you and the "Enterprise" offering
this service and I look forward to reading more of "Pecos Gab".

Okay, I have been "beatin" up several times on my earlier response on what
the restaurant was at the corner of 3rd and Eddy. I was wrong in saying it
was Al's. It was indeed Dairy Mart. How could I forget those tacos and yes,
those cherry limeades?! (Bill Malone was also a very nice person as well). I
believe as we get older, we get that thing called "brain fade". As far as
Al's, I never had the opportunity to go there. I have heard and read that it
was a pretty cool place.
I have definately enjoyed this site and have cross paths again with some very
dear people. I hope everyone had a good Easter. Take Care!

Hi to everyone out there in ex-PHS grad land!!
This column is the most enjoyable and useful
thing Pecos has ever had. Again,
Congratulations and a huge Thank-You!!
First, "Cary Don Winterrowd", as your mother
would call you, please remember that Eddy St. is
spelled with a "Y" not an "IE". I lived down
the street, remember? (Mrs. Turk is living and
well in some of us it seems.) Also, remember,
the Spud-Nut shop delivered via a boy on a bike
each week. How we looked forward to that day!
Help, please. For an upcoming reunion, I am
trying to locate Cynthia Crow (Bob/Betty Lee's
cousin - Johnny's older sister). Also, I am
looking for Jan Snyder - her mom worked for the
Hospital in OR. She lived on the street just
down from Beverly Fabrygel and before the Exum
house, across from the elementary school. Her
family name was not Snyder as her mom had
remarried. Also, she dated Charlie Oats from
Balmorhea.
If anyone can help, please let me know.
I love reading Pecos Gab and hearing about
everyone.
Keep up the good work!!

I have enjoyed reading the comments and memories of those who have attended
the Pecos school system. I was wondering if the Elementry grades 1 - 4
still have the $5.00 award for improved penmanship. The best that I remember
it was made possible by Mrs. Port Dagget. It was something that a lot of
kids practiced for, so they could get that big money, which it was in the
late 40`s and early 50`s. Every time my handwritting is complimented I have
to tell them why. GREED and a very nice lady that wanted to leave her mark
. If it wasn`t made possible by Mrs. Dagget then my appology to whomever
it was. Billy O`Neil (should have been class of `59 but would have been

burger places

From:
"RAY BOULTER" boult@wcc.net
I think it is really interesting when you read each persons take on the name of the Burger place in Pecos. As I read through the names and
dates of each persons response I would imagine the entire question should be "What was the name of the Burger place on such and such a
street at such and such a time when you were young". As I read the answers from each person I also noticed that each one of them had a
special item that they thought was the greatest. I am still not sure at this point that I know which Burger place was where or when it was there,
I do however know this. When you are sixteen or seventeen and have a set of wheels and your best girl is setting beside you and your
friends who do have cars are watching you it really does not matter weather the name is AL's or Dairy Queen, or Dairy Mart, there is just
something about being a teenager in Pecos during your youth that is hard to beat. If you doubt what I am saying, just fill in the blanks. I can
remember when we use to drive around _____ and I will never forget those great _________ that they served. Remember when smoking
cigarettes and turned up collars with D.T. haircuts were all considered daring?

Hello fellow classmates! Class of 1965
I was referred to this web-site by my daughter. I finally had the
chance to have a look at it, and see what everyone is up too.
I've had a very challenging life, since graduating from Pecos in
65. I had two beautiful children, a daughter now 33 and a son
who is just turning 23. Both are doing extremely well. My daughter
married an Australian and lived in Australia for 8 years. She now
lives in Portland Oregon, and owns her own company. I live in Portland
as well where I work in the Mortgage Industry, however, am planning to
open up my own business in the beginning of the year where I will be
working as a pet groomer. Yes, I know a completely diffent turn, but I've
always enjoyed animals and feel this is my calling. My daughter is
moving back to Australia in October. My son is a Chef, and went to the
Western Culinary Institute in Portland. He is a wonderful cook, and
has a girlfriend in Alaska. He is planning to spend the next year up
there, then he and his girlfriend plan on moving back to the Northwest.
I have not been back to Pecos since I left back in late 70's. I still have
plenty of fond memories though. My mom Jackie Cavitt recently passed away in
Lubbock Texas. She was 94.
I'm planning on spending this Christmas with my daughter and her
husband in Australia, which climate wise will be alot different than
what I'm use too. I have been reading all the great stories of ex
PHS classmates and I think it's great to be able to stay in touch.
I hope all is well with the friends I went to school with and if you
get a chance I would love to hear from you.

Hi Peggy. The South East corner of 3rd. & Eddy was where my grandfather's
grocery store was for many years (Fitzgerald's Grocery & Market). Before that
it was called Gold Bond Grocery. That building (which was demolished) was
owned by the McKeller's (Mrs. Alton (Janice) Hughes' paraents). I think the
drive-in you are talking about was Al's. It was a little farther west on the
right (north side) of 3rd.
Question: I have heard that there may be a new Post Office in the works
for Pecos. What will happen to the old building? It's about the only nice old
building left. Sure hope they don't intend to raze it!
Thanks for the work you do for this site - it's just great!!! Jan

Peggy, you and all the others are correct. It was the Dairy Queen . No matter what town I am in,
I have them make them for me.. Have to have that Frito Burger fix. And only Pecos
could make a descent chicken fried steak, so there is one place here, that I have sort of helped
in the art of making them. I think I am the only person, that I know, who has Frito burgers in this
town. But,,hhhmm. And cherry lime drinks. Only the Dairy Mart knows how to make those, too.

Wow! Thanks everyone for your input. Yes, I do remember the name Dairy Maid, the forerunner of Dairy Queen, McDonalds, etc. When I worked at CIT across the street from the drive-in, we would go out the back door, get into our car or a repossessed convertible and drive across to get a coke at break time. That's when car hops did the work for you. Of course, we had to make the drag before we went back to work.

Yes, you are right, and Dairy Mart is still at Third and Eddy. But there was another drive-in across the street, next door to the old Piggly Wiggly when I came here in 1953. What was the name of that one?

I am so excited to hear that the State Theater is being restored. I worked there from my Sophomore year until I graduated in
1966 and went to San Marcos to college. Mr. Durham was like a second father to me and so patient and kind. He even let
me do my homework in-between customers. I will never forget the time that Cliff Durham and Billy Hurley grabbed me and
put me on top of the coke machine. Of the time Cliff sat on the dolly while Billy pushed him around. I came to work a little
late and all of a sudden I was grabbed from behind for a ride down the isles of the theater riding on Cliff's lap.
I loved the State Theater and hope that this is a big success! What an endeavor of love and a great gift to Pecos by the
Creasy Family! People like this make Pecos great! Congratulations to Pecos.
