To every PHS grad who had Mr. Workman knows what a teacher and man he was,
from "Train Wreck" to "Cough Medicine". It's sad to have seen him leave.
Pecos High will never be the same. Mr. Workman made that school, not to
forget Mr. Wheeles, Mr. Barfield, and Mrs. Rankin, but the school will never
be the same... And I can tell
you that every graduate has benefited from "The Grinch". Just ask anyone in
Pecos. The school board should have tried to keep him. If anyone runs into
him, tell him "Brother Bullet Head" said hello.

I used to live in Pecos. I moved from there in 1982 after graduation. My
grandparents used to live there for years. They moved from Pecos to East
Texas, back in 1988! I kept in touch with several classmates for awhile
and have since lost touch with them. If anyone has any information
about any of the classmates of 1982, please email me. My grandparents
are R. H. and Faye Kemp. They lived on Park street for years. My
grandfather passed away back in December 1998. I would appreciate any
information about my classmates or anyone that knew my grandparents.
Thank you,

At the risk of becoming commercial, I'm really happy to see the advertisement that Jim has for the TimeMist Airfreshener Kit. I
can vouch for the product, as my company manufactures the dispenser and refill for the kit. We also have a fly control kit that
will control flies. If any one lives in Verhalen or around the feed lots south of town, you need one of these.

I wanted to thank you & Joy for creating this Gab Line. I read the message from Marti Lincecum Willis (64') several months ago
& learned she was living in Hong Kong. I knew I would be going to Asia this summer, so I emailed her back & we were able to get
together three different days of my trip. It was great meeting her husband & being able to visit with her after almost 40 years since
we were in PHS together.
Thanks again for your effort.

Hello Pecos Friends,
My family and I moved to Pecos in 1986 and moved away in 1992. During
those years I was the foreman of the Prewitt Ranch and we lived at the
ranch headquarters off Hwy. 17, south of Pecos. I was so saddened when I
was informed about Bill Prewitt (the owner) passing away. He was a
wonderful man and the kindest and most considerate person I have known or
worked for. While living in the Pecos area we attended Sonlight Fellowship
Church, Pastored by Stan Roberts. Our two sons spent there young boyhood
there and Pecos and it will always be remembered as one of our home places
and the time there was very special.
I would like to know the where-abouts and/or e-mail addresses of the
following Pecos people if anyone has this information.
Bob & Kathy Kelton (ranched North of Pecos)
Steven and John Prewitt (sons of Bill Prewitt)
J.D. & Debbie Wade (managed the Pecos radio station)
My family and I now live in Northern Alabama where I am in full time ministry.
Pecos is a great place. I hope to return for a visit someday.
God bless,
Rick Edwards

instead of MEGA have a mini reunion among the people who show up. Is there
still an exes tea held during homecoming? I enjoy reading the postings and

I'm so thankful for the Pecos Gab site. I've heard from people I haven't seen
in years. Since July I've been principal with the Windham School District at
the Price Daniel Prison Unit in Snyder. I spent last year as principal at the
Darrington Prison Unit outside of Angleton, Texas but had an opportunity to
transfer closer to home and took it! It's so nice to be back in this part of
the country again. Hope I hear from more class of '74 people!

Well, I will have to say thanks to my mom (Doris Jarrell Baker) and my
little brother (Jeff Baker) for telling me about this site. It has
brought back some memories.
Although, I (Deborah Baker) did not graduate from Pecos in 1977, I have
many fond memories of the years I did reside there growing up. I was
attending a conference in Toronto, Canada a couple of years ago and ran
into an individual that learned to swim in Balmorhea Lake. What memories
that brought back to light.
I now reside in Tulsa, OK and have for 25 years. I do not make it to
West Texas often but I have made a promise to myself if I make it to
Odessa to visit Linda in October - I will have to come see how the town
has grown and changed.
I do agree with many other's comments. You can not get Mexican food or
cantelopes any where else in the world like you can in Pecos.
I would love to hear from anyone that grew up with the Baker kids and
knew my family. My dad ran the Pecos Valley Cotton Gin for many many
years.

Does anyone remember the time that Mike Nesmith came to town...1964 or
1965 for the Southern Assembly? He was with John London who also made
it big with James Taylor. We met all kinds of famous people passing
through. Mike sat outside in front of my house on the grass playing
guitars with me and Martha Huckabee Fleming until all hours. My Dad
secretly opened his bedroom window to hear the music and Mom invited
Mike over for supper the next day. I didn't know he would be as
famous as he later became.
Such good memories of times past....

Hi there,
This is Peggy McCrackens' long lost little brother now residing in England.
I just wanted you to know that I regularly visit your web site as I miss a
lot of Texas
happenings. I have visited Pecos several times as I was stationed with the
Air Force at Big Springs in the late 1950's. I like to look thru the archives
and read the old articles about the area.
Keep up the good work. Tell Peggy I said hi'.

This is in response to Rosa bragging on her cousin and how well someone has

association with Ricochet--"Daddy's Money."
I sure am proud of them -- knowing how much time and effort they have put
into their music.
Nice to see anyone make it in such a hard business. Really - good luck to

Hello to everyone! This is Lupita Rubio-Cervantes, I now use my "real" name, Rosa Cervantes.
I have lost contact with a few people that responded the first time that I sent a message to
the Gab.
I live in Dallas, been here for about 13 years now. I visit my parents in Pecos from time to
time (Manuel Rubio, the plumber) but Pecos isn't the same. It's not often that I see anyone
there from our class.
I'm always interested what people are doing and where they are at. I guess that's why I read
the Pecos Gab, sort of brings me back to the good old times. Just an FYI, my cousin, Joey
Martinez is now that new lead singer for David Lee Garza and Los Musicales (Tejano Band). I
think it's simply wonderful to see someone from Pecos do so well. Anyone that follows Tejano
Music should keep an eye on him, and I'm not saying that because he is my cousin.
I would love to hear from anyone from our class and the ones before me and after me. Sometime I
know some of the people that write in from classes back in the late 70's because of my aunt
Rosie and Isela Guerrero.
Everyone take care and hope to hear from you!

the next best thing. It's nice to read about people you grew up with but haven't seen or heard of in a long time. We like to check
this site about once a week to see what's going on. It's sorta like a cyber-Al's, we just kinda hang out and watch people go by.
The different class web sites are enjoyable. Somebody from '79 with a little know how about computers oughta put one together.
We live in Greenwood(kinda the Barstow of Midland) with our 2 lovely, talented and vivacious daughters, Ashley, 16, and Calli, 11.
Both of us work for oil company's. We spend a lot of time around softball field either coaching, cheering or yelling at umpires. Lori
is still a fabulous babe and I have put on the customary extra pounds (life is so unfair).
We'd love to hear from any of our old friends. Drop us a note and let us know how you are doing.

I've had so many questions about my poor 'ole mother that I've answered

I really appreciate that she had such an influence on so many of you. And
those of you that did know of her sudden departure, thank you for sending me
all of your e-mails now that you know where I am.
I got in from Honduras tonight and had six e-mails from former students and
colleagues waiting for me that it just broke my heart and it has taken me a
long time to sit down and write this.
Those that don't know about it and was there during the '60's and early
'70's, bless her heart, she passed away real sudden the Wednesday before
Thanksgiving in 1983 in her sleep. She was only 60 years old and that's
really close to all of us, ain't it?
She was special to me and it gladdens me to know that she was special to
others as well.
God bless all of ya!

Greetings from Patsy Douglas Henson Marguet, Class of '56. I hope you are
enjoying going down "memory lane" as much as I have while reading emails on
this site. I even saw one or two from students of mine while I was teaching
at PHS. Hello to David Andrews. Where is your mom?
Since I am of the "old school", I remember when Ben's was on East Third and
when in junior high the Spudnut shop was on the corner of Third across from
the Dairy Maid and across from the gymnasium. I also remember the Saturday
shows at the Cactus and was there for the opening of the State Theatre after
the Grand closed. Lots of changes.
Yes, "Stud" Carter owned the pool hall downtown and his wife taught 4th
grade. Mary Ann, their daughter, graduated with us.
Now for the present, the 50's and 60's reunion is trying to get names and
addresses. I have a list from 1996 reunion, but know that there must be some
changes. Please get in touch with me if your information has changed. I am
planning to send out postcards soon so I can update what I have. We had
planned to have the 2001 reunion in Palm Springs with Judy and Richard, but
that may change if the 50-60 reunion in the Dallas area takes place. Please

I'm the other half of the "Acosta Twins". I live in
Alpine with my husband and two boys. David the older
is now 18 and attending UT at Austin. He was an
all-state Trumpet player for three years. The first 2
years in the "small school arena". His 2nd year at
"small school arena" he was 1st chair 1st band. This
past year he competed against the "big" 5-A schools.
He ended up being 14th in the state.
The younger one Matthew is 13 and will be an 8th
grader this year. He participates in sports and band.
He is a real blessing especially since his brother
has left the nest.
I've been gone from Pecos since '85 when we left for
Del Rio and were there for 12 years. We've been in
Alpine since '95.
I would love to hear from school buddies, teachers,

Hi from Bennie Longbine, ex-teacher
I just recently discovered this site and must say that it is one of the most enjoyable places I have ever visited on
the internet. It is so great to sit and read the names and experiences of old friends, students, and fellow teachers.
I taught Auto Mechanics at PHS for 18 years and must say I have missed Pecos. I now live in Abilene and am
self-employed. I would love to be contacted by ex-students and friends at bdl22@hotmail.com

read through all the postings, seeing all the names that brought back such
fond memories!
I am Lee Ligon, class of 1972. After a long migration east with stops in
Odessa, Midland and Dallas, Leslie and I ended up in Central Virginia. We
really love it here, there are actually four seasons! My "kids" are grown

He and his wife manage a ranch South of San Angelo. Leesha is 23, just
married and living in San Angelo. We don't get to see them as much as we
would like, thank goodness for email!
Thanks to Danny Fleming for putting the class of '72 website! Those of you

I am very pleased that Pecos Enterprse is online. I am living in Rota Spain, with my husband while he
serves proudly in the Navy. My parents are from Pecos, then we later moved to Seminole. But I have
always considered Pecos "my hometown". Spending every summer there was the highlight of my school
year, and being able to tell my friends what a blast I had. I am fortunate to say that I am from a state
that stands proud and from a town that has so much history. Well, my hat goes off to all who have
contributed to making this paper & town stand out among the rest. I am hoping to make it out to Rodeo
next year & to the cantalope festival as well.With the Enterprise online makes it so much easier to know
what is going on in my special little town. Thanks, Abigail M Salinas

What's up, Pecos??!!??
It's me, Carl Payan from Class of '93. I had sent an
e-mail here about myself, but I have moved since. I
am living in El Paso. I am having a great time here.
I have bumped into a few people here from school, and
I have somehow, bumped into others that I haven't seen
in years.
I am glad that the Pecos Enterprise has come up with
the Pecos Gab! This way, we can somehow track each
other down....that's if you want to be found!
If you read this and recognize me, please send an
e-mail and let me know how you have been, Type to you
guys later!!

I enjoyed the Pecos Gab section and am very glad to see you responding to the call of cyber space.
I graduated Pecos High in 1955 after having been "Miss Classified" for Joe Pouns when as a semi-weekly it was still carrying the masthead
of THE PECOS ENTERPRISE and Gusher! I had worked on the Eagle's Cry (PHS newspaper) as assistant editor and and Mr. Pouns gave
me a job. I also remember the great personages who worked for the Enterprise like the advertising manager who taught me basics of layout,
and the bookkeeper, Trina, who showed me how to figure charges for the classified ads I sold on the telephone. There was a particularly nice
pressman whose name escapes me, but I can recall he had lost his hearing and so the noise of the press running did not bother him. The
press foreman of those days was another really nice fellow who bothered to explain things like "the web" and the linotype process. Those
were some of the best days of my growing up because of the people who took an interest in me. Thanks for reminding me of the times and
the folks.
Sincerely,
Donna (Whitten) Erwin

Hi,
My name is Geoff Williams From Australia and I am having difficulty in locating the company Pecos Valley Flying Services.
This is a long shot but would you know of any aviation services in Pecos Valley that I might try.
We have been restoring and old airplane here and need to fine some paper work for your FAA from the previous owners this Pecos
Valley Flying Services.
They don't exist at the last address that the FAA has.
Hope you might be able to pass on a lead.
Thanks

Looking forward to my class reunion in Pecos in October, 2001. Peggy Glover Daniel and Jack Donnell, among others, have
plans well in hand. Being a KIUN celebrity (I'm the only one I know of that tap danced on KIUN. A star student of Mrs Bill
Withers.) A big abrazo to Ms Withers, James Hamilton, Skeeter Prewitt, Ray Whitely and Tommy Cowan. I left with the
Pecos volunteers of '43. Would like to know what ever happened to the McCracken family (Bobby, Clem, a sister). I served
with Bobby in the 3rd Marines and we lost him on Guam in July, '44. He was one gung ho hombre and was awarded the
Navy Cross. Tom Beauford a Pecos buddy, married Katherine Rose Deracy - have tried to track him down on the Internet.
Any help appreciated.
My email address - txjackoz@smileys.net.

I wanted to give everyone an update on my parents, Beverley and Fred
Beckham, many of you may have known my dad, as he worked as a contract
welder in and around Pecos for a long time. Dad was diagnosed with throat
cancer in March. Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and had surgery the
week before we found out that Dad had cancer. Mom is still undergoing
treatment in Tyler and the prognosis is good. Dad, just today, returned
home from MD Anderson in Houston where for the past 7 weeks he has undergone
radiation treatment. His prognosis is also good, and I can't say enough
about the doctors and the treatments that people undergo at the MD Anderson
Cancer Center in Houston. We have been blessed as a family that we have
have had good doctors and a lot of faith in the Lord to get through the past
3 months. If you would like to send a card or letter, their address is as
follows:
Fred & Beverley Beckham
P.O. Box 485
Grand Saline, TX 75140
I'm sure they would love to hear from you.
Mike Beckham
