Subject: (no subject) Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 19:02:08 EDT From: Nursevickip@aol.com Thanks to all the kind folks in Pecos for there kind words. Although I've been in El Paso for 20 years I often smile when I think of all the fun times my sisters and I had in Pecos. Subject: Mr. Jerry Workman Sr. Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 05:42:00 GMT From: bobstackler@hotmail.com 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. Jake Fowler El Paso TX Subject: Since 1982 Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 15:14:02 -0500 From: "Particular" 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, Kristy Keith Ellison jokertex@yahoo .com Subject: up all night & loved it Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 08:57:27 EDT From: BudManFred@aol.com I'm a PHS graduate class of "89" Just stayed up all night reading this wonderful memory extracting gab.

There was a young man that touched my life like nobody has ever done and after all these years I believe neeveer will again. His name was Terry Wayne Carr. I've often wanted to locate him, but have never had the nerve. If you could ask him to notify me, I'd appreciate your help.

Love Vic Steele Subject: Jim Ivy's Ad On GAB Website Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2000 17:17:35 -0500 From: "Michael Beckham" mcsbpb@home.com 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. Mike Beckham Subject: Gab Line Thanks! Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 18:28:42 -0700 From: "Jan Guerin" jguerin@swlink.net Dear Peggy, 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. Always, Jan Reagan Guerin (62') Subject: Class of 85 Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2000 22:43:45 -0500 From: "Tracy Willis" Hi everyone! This is Tracy (Clark) Willis. I graduated in 1985.

Subject: Pecos Gab Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2000 23:11:37 -0500 From: Rick Edwards 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 rick@graceheart.org Subject: Mega Reunion Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 19:22:06 EDT From: CTaylo2050@aol.com Greetings everyone...could their be a posting that shows when homecoming is going to be this year? It would be fun to go home for a weekend and maybe 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 wish we could have a Mega reunion for all of the classes and not just for a select decade or two. Celina Acosta-Taylor Subject: Mega Class Reunion Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2000 01:48:27 EDT From: PTXreunion60s@aol.com Hi Gang!

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! Kitty Ann Gunn kagunn@nwol.net Subject: Hello Pecos Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2000 22:25:29 -0500 From: debbie whittenberg 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. email address djbaker@webzone.net Subject: Pecos gab Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2000 11:23:15 -0700 From: "Delaney" Hi everyone. Delaney Jackson here. Just thought I would put out some feelers for any Class of '82 folks out there. Would love to hear from you guys. My e-mail address is GUITARDJ@prodigy.net. Give me a shout! C-ya, DJ Subject: Class of 1966 Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2000 21:05:25 -0500 From: "Joy Ray" joyray2@earthlink.net 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.... Joy Brown Ray Subject: News Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2000 20:17:33 EDT From: JGunn78718@aol.com 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'. Jerry Gunn Subject: (no subject) Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2000 18:44:14 EDT From: DSarajane@aol.com I graduated in 1953. My name was Doris Jarrell.

How about the Bryant boys--Jeff and Dwayne (Jr) and their 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 all. Subject: looking Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 15:29:51 -0500 From: "RAY BOULTER" I am actually writing on behalf of one of my best friends who happens to also be my brother. His name in high school was Alfred Boulter however he prefers (Bill Boulter). He would have graduated from Pecos High School with the class of 1954 had he completed his schooling in Pecos.

After a successful tour of duty with the marines, Bill spent the nest thirty or so years in law enforcement as everything from a patrolmen to a motorcycle cop to a detective in Odessa and Austin Texas. He has just recently retired for the second or third time he is also a very successful auctioneer. If anyone remembers him please e-mail me at the addy below.

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!

We don't get back to Pecos very often but this site is 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. Subject: Ms. Bennett Date: Sat, 5 Aug 2000 00:28:23 -0500 From: "David W.

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! Later. David W.

It is good to read e-mails from people I remember. I have been trying to locate Cecilia Arvizu who was also a graduate of the class of '57.

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 get in touch.

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.

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!! carl Subject: Pecos Gab portion of your site Date: Sat, 17 Jul 2004 19:52:09 -0500 From: "Donna Erwin" dwerwin@gte.net 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 Hobbs, NM Subject: Wow..it's been a long time. Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 05:34:59 EDT From: TexTulip@aol.com Hey there Pecos!

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 Geoff Williams Subject: G'Day from Australia Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 07:53:57 +0800 From: Jack txjackoz@smileys.net 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.

Goodonyou, Jack Fletcher Subject: The Beckham's Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 20:10:25 -0500 From: "Michael Beckham" mcsbpb@home.com 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.
