Warm regards, Jerry.”

ZOE MORRIS TYREE:
April 7, 2012, email: “I came through the tornadoes unscathed
too…but whew, they were close! I work in North Arlington near
the Ballpark and the Cowboy Stadium and the twisters were
“dancing” all around us there. We closed the office doors and
went down to the lowest floor for to be safe, then the wind came
through, blew the huge glass doors open, but they held and
didn’t break. The wind bent a stop sign completely over to the
ground, so we all went back upstairs and the alert came again,
so back downstairs. At my home in south Fort Worth, I had only
rain and no hail nor terrible winds. Next day, found sections of
Arlington were declared a disaster area. So praise God, though
it caused much damage elsewhere and scared everyone to pieces,
His angels once again brought us through the dangers.”
RONNIE MURRAY:
April 7, 2012 email: “Yes, we were also very fortunate to be
spared from the damage caused by the tornadoes. Although we live
just a few blocks north of the Green Oaks Nursing Home that was
in the news and the neighborhood east of it that was so hard
hit, God was gracious to spare us.”
JANIS PARSON GALLAGHER moved from San Mateo, California to Green
Valley, Arizona.

BOBBY RAYEL: I emailed him after the earthquake and this is his
response: “March 27, 2012, our hanging light fixtures really
swayed and it was a little scary but we are ok and the house is
ok. We are 120 miles north of Mexico City, so we don’t feel the
quakes a lot but this one had a little bang to it.”
CAROL REID PERMANN: Carol is home and getting home therapy after
her hip surgery. She is getting stronger each day. Keep up the
good work Carol.

give her pain anymore. Both Beverly and Paul have many health
issues and thoughts and prayers go out to them.
BUBBA WOODS: March 28 email: “Thought I’d put out an update on
some health issues. I was in the hospital December 28-January 5,
2012, because of multiple blood clots in both lungs. While there
discovered some kidney blockage. I returned to the hospital
Sunday March 25, with kidney failure and diverticulitis. Stints
and antibiotics seem to be working. Kidney stones slowing
recovery. God is good. Peace be with you. Thanks for putting out
the word. Bubba”
The tornadoes in Arlington were very bad and too close for
comfort but the three of us in my neighborhood made it through
okay. There are several classmates in Arlington and I would love

PHS Newsletter March 27, 2012
Dear Classmates,
Lots of news so will get right to it. It
was nice to hear back from so many classmates in response to my
request for their birth dates. They sent the dates plus news
and thoughts. Our 70th year is really a milestone
for many of us.
FIRST MONDAY March 2, 2012, was a
great night. Go to the class website
http://www.paschal1960.com to see pictures of some of the 35
people that were there.
Next FIRST MONDAY is April 2, 2012,
so while at the website read about where, time and how to send
in your reservation.
KAREN ANDERSON HODGES: Karen sends
word her husband, Gerald, is battling cancer and appreciates
your prayers. It has been suggested that Gerald needs a partial
hip replacement, but that might be put aside for now.
JOHN MIKE BROOKS: Mike’s birthday
is April 21, so he always celebrates San Jacinto Day each year.
All is well on Tybee Island for Mike and his wife Deborah. They
continue to work as a university dean and a college professor
respectively. They headed to Florida for some work, a break and
hopefully for some spring baseball.
“ROBIN” ALICE COMBEST CRIDLAND: “As
we look forward to our # 70 birthday it is mind blowing. Now we
understand what our parents meant when they talked about how it
‘seemed like only yesterday we were young’…and how fast life had
gone by. Someone else said, “Youth is wasted on the young”.
Youth is in such a hurry to be old!!!”
SUE FITTS: March 15, 2012, the
latest news I received: Sue has been moved to a hospital in
Houston. The doctors found a cyst on her pancreas. Please keep
her in your prayers. I sent a card earlier from the class to
her home and will wait until I learn more to send another card.
Sue has a brother, Herb Fitts, PHS ’58 and a sister Jill Fitts
Mraz, PHS ‘62.
KENNETH GODFREY: After four
months, his broken wrist has not joined and still is at risk for
breakage again, though it is held together with a metal plate
and screws. He has been given CMF OLF1000 to rub each day on
his wrist. If it does not succeed by six months, it will be
necessary to operate again. He has no pain and pretty good
movement and flexibility. We pray you will get a good report at
your next doctor visit.
BILL HARGRAVE: Bill and his wife,
Marilyn, are coming to Fort Worth for a visit April 18-21 or
so. He would like to see and visit with classmates if
possible. Jim and I are meeting Bill and Marilyn on Thursday
(19th) for lunch. If you would like to contact Bill,
let me know and I will tell you how to reach him. Bill really
enjoyed seeing everyone at the 50th reunion.
HOLLIS NASH: “My wife, Linda Kay
Webb Nash (Arlington HS/TCU) and I are both retired and enjoying
Southwest Florida here in Cape Coral. We have one
granddaughter, two grandsons and another grandson due in
August. I spend most of my time just taking care of a new home,
boat, pool and playing with the grandkids. This is a great
place to live but we do miss our Fort Worth friends and family.
After reading all of your newsletters with
all of the health issues of all of those old people I am happy
to report that we are still young and doing great!!!
(If you are under 90 here then you are young!)
I have been watching films that my family
took of FTW and TCU from 1927-1965. They are amazing! The twin
T&P Railway Towers under construction (1928) and the Will Rogers
Center with the Largest dome building in the world at that
time. And a much smaller TCU football stadium! And my parent’s
Central High School with its principal Mr. R. L. Paschal. Fort
Worth has an amazing history!” Thank you for a trip back down
memory lane. When y’all return to Fort Worth, you will really
be surprised with all the changes.
CAROL REID PERMANN: Carol had her
hip replacement surgery March 21. She did well and now is in
Texas Rehab down by Harris downtown. I will send a card from
the class.
JANET TICKNOR LOYA: Janet has moved
into Broadway Plaza, suite 127, on Bryant Irvin Rd. Her cell
number is
817-217-5067 and would love to hear from you. Duration of
her stay is indefinite (or unknown) because she has vision
problems and is unable to drive. Her speech is good, even
though there are pauses (mainly caused by the stroke). Sounds
strong. Her mobility is good, also. I will send a card from
the class.
Other class PHS graduates:
Jimmy Holt, PHS ’61, passed away February
19, 2012.
Mike Cason, PHS ’58, passed away March 14,
2012.
Hopefully you have gone to the class
website and clicked on Alumni Association in the left column,
filled out the form and sent in your $10.00 dues for the year.
You help Paschal and you will receive your Pantherette. I look
every time it comes out and our class remains one of the big
donors to help the Alumni Association function. The Alumni
Association is entirely run by volunteers and supports Paschal
100%.
