THE STORY
Ann and I
truly enjoy the annual invitation to come to Pampa and participate in the
Pampa Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony each fall. This year was no exception!
In addition, the classes of 1956 and 1961 had their reunions. Thus, you
will have the opportunity to see not only the Hall of Fame ceremonies but
also festivities relating to these class reunions. Of special
interest was the presention of the beautiful life-like bronze statue of
The
Harvester in front of the school. This was the gift of the Class of
1956. Well done, Class! Class Vice President Ted Swindle presided over
the ceremony. I had not seen Ted for at least 40 years! Well, you
have not changed, Ted! It was so good to see so many friends.
I missed my 40th reunion of my Class of 1957 because I was in Japan at
the time. Well, next time, I will be there!
Anyway, not only will you find the Hall of Fame Induction (for Sylvia Grider and Bob Jernigan) but also the reception, the football game, the statue unveiling, and last but not least, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to visit the Gething ranch east of Pampa. How beautiful it was this time of the year! Thank you, Bill and Grace! Oh yes, when we were getting ready to drive back to Pampa later in the evening, we saw the magnificent Milky Way Galaxy as I have never seen it before, from the high plains deep in the darkness on the Gething ranch.
Enjoy these files. The photos
are not too large but are of sufficient resolution that you will be able
to download them and make nice color prints if you wish. No restrictions!
Let me know what you think of this new website. Visit the site of my trip
last year as well as the information I have on our Class of 1957 and Pampa!
