Hi to all my friends at PHS of '59. WOW, what have I been doing the past 49 years? (This needed a little update) Here's a brief summary! I married in 1960 to C.D. Wilson, a Dallas man. We've been married 48 years now (this past June 24th). We live in Highland Village, TX. It's just north of Lewisville. It's on Lake Lewisville. We connect to Lewisville, TX and Flower Mound, TX. We have been here 22 years. Before that we lived in Carrollton, TX for 23 years. We have two wonderful children, a son Gregg who is 45 years old. He was born on July 12, 1960. (By the way he was born on my birthday, what a way to spend my 22nd birthday, in LABOR!) He lives with his wife and two kids in Lantana (Argyle), TX. He has a daughter, Emily, who is 10 years old and a son, Nicolas, who is 6 years old. Gregg works for Bank of America and his wife, Amy is an RN. We have a daughter, Cheryl who is 40 years old. She was born on February 8, 1968. Unfortunately she is divorced and she and her daughter live here in Highland Village. Her daughter, Hannah is 9 years old. Cheryl is an RN and works at a North Texas Hospital. She is manager of Pre-Op and Recovery. We are a very close family. I retired June 1, 2004 from Lewisville Independent School District. I worked for them for 10 years and before that I worked for Otis Engineering Corporation for 17 years which later became Halliburton. I love retirement. My husband, C.D., is semi-retired. He is in the construction business and doesn't want to give up working yet. I stay busy. I like to read, cross-stitch, travel, email friends, play with my grandkids, etc. I always have something to do. I've been to two of the PHS reunions and it is always good to see so many of you. I guess this is about it without writing a book. My email address is: wilsonjoyce@verizon.net October 2008
Me and my husband, C.D. taken 9/13/08.

After graduating from high school I married and had a daughter (Diane) in 1960 and another one (Karen) in 1961. My first husband and I were married for 20 years and then divorced. After a few years of the single life, I was fortunate to meet a wonderful man - Jack York (he was with me at our 30th reunion). We were married for almost 5 years before he died from cancer. Some of my really good friends like to travel and I've been on a lot of trips with them over the years. We've been to every continent including Antarctica - what an adventure. This doesn't mean I intend to quit this traveling thing. There are so many places left to visit still!!!!!! I have moved into a high rise condo in downtown Fort Worth. It's the old Bank One building which was damaged by a tornado a few years ago. You will find me on the 29th floor!!!!!! I walk right out my door into Sundance and all the theatres, restaurants and shops that are right there! So, life continues to roll along.......faster and faster it seems. We are working on our 50th Class Reunion plans. Hope you are making plans to be there! October 2008

Married 39 years to Paul Barkman. Lived in Tokyo, Japan, from 1970-1977, then Honolulu, HI, from ’77-79, then Cincinnati, OH until this past March when we bought a home in Charlotte and I happily retired from my 24 years in real estate. Our two daughters were born in Japan (can never be President), and have presented us w/3 grandsons (6, 2 and ½, and 2 and A GRANDAUGHTER TO BE DUE IN FEBRUARY.) Our daughter said, “Mom, if this one isn’t a girl, you’re going to have to buy a female dog, name her Fifi, and dress her up, because this is it! Needless to say, we’re thrilled to add a little girl to the group. Life’s been good, and I look forward to seeing everyone at the 50th. I’m amazed at what a good job those of you in Texas have done in keeping everyone together and staying in touch. Thanks.

MY HOW TIME FLIES WHEN YOU’RE HAVING FUN!!! The day after graduation in May 1959 I moved to Waco as “Mrs. Bill Magnussen” (PHS class of ’58) where I knew not one soul. I attended Baylor part-time and worked part-time for several professors (50¢ per hour) until April of 1961 when Lynne, the first of our three daughters, was born. After six years in Waco, during which Bill finished law school, there were many friends. In May of 1965, we moved back to Fort Worth and Bill began his law career with a position in the District Attorney’s office. After a few years, he started his own practice, specializing in criminal defense and family law. We then had daughters Missy in 1967 and Laura in 1972. For 21 years I was a wife (not exactly a “Stepford Wife”), mother of three daughters, and loved the role of homemaker. I spent time volunteering with the girls’ schools, their activities, and other civic organizations. My three girls have blessed my life each day, and continue to do so. Then….divorce happened and life changed. Gayle Caldwell York hired me to do data entry work at Trinity Office Supply. I now had a “real” job. Since then, I have worked part-time or full-time at Fort Worth Academy, Citizens Crime Commission, and lastly Fort Worth Habitat for Humanity. I am now retired and stay busy with volunteer opportunities. Change included my marriage to Paul Clinkscales, a native of San Antonio and graduate of UT Austin. Paul was with the Fort Worth National Bank which later became Texas American Bank. After he retired from banking, Paul started his own business specializing in custom computer software. He is also a retired Army officer having served 31 years in active duty and reserve assignments. He was a brave soul to take on me and my girls. We will celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary October 17, 2008. Love really is better the 2nd time around. Favorite things: 1. Family - Six kids (“his and hers”), their spouses and 10 grandchildren making 22 in all. 2. Friends new and old - Sharon Janes and I were in 1st grade together! The Paschal girls’ lunches and the Angelo’s gatherings are fun. Thank you Gayle for being our organizer. 3. Traveling - anywhere, any time 4. Eating out - anywhere, any time 5. My church - University Christian Church 6. Habitat for Humanity - The staff, volunteers, and homeowners - best people in the world 7. Coffee, full bodied with cream and sugar 8. New York City - I want to live there for a year someday

After high school graduation, I spent a year at SMU, basically cultivating my bridge game and visiting friends at Arlington State, and then came home to TCU for an academic education. I married and had a daughter, Alice Ann, in 1962; a son, Jeff, in 1962; and a son, Mark, in 1963. Their father and I were divorced in 1969. Alice Ann, who lives in Arlington, works in the corporate offices of a transportation broker. Jeff, who lives in Bedford, received his Masters in Computer Science. Mark, who lives in Copperas Cove, received his Doctorate in Expository Preaching and is a Baptist minister. I have been blest with five grandchildren, and two great-grandsons. Two other important members of my family are my puppy-girls: Belle (10-year old Miniature Schnauzer), a gift from my children when she was 6 weeks old and Abby (12-year old small Shih Tzu), adopted in 2003. Other than several months in South Carolina and California while an AArmy wife”, I have lived and worked in the Fort Worth area. My first work experiences were in insurance claims; property, casualty, and health. Then I moved on to bookkeeping/accounting with an independent oil producer for a number of years. From there, for 10 years I was the Office Manager at the company started by our deceased classmate Art Brannon, Boogie Bear’s Design and Display. In 2003, I retired from University Christian Church where I had been part of the support staff for almost 10 years. These days my family and friends are keeping me busy with things they have been wishing for years I had the time to do with them. Also, one day a week I volunteer a few hours at University Christian to keep the monthly church paper circulation list current and do some data entry. After my retirement, I offered to help Gayle Caldwell York keep the Class Directory current. As you know, she started compiling our class directory years ago; and we are grateful for the time and effort she has given to the PHS Class of 1959. She asked me to take over upkeep of the directory. Just e-mail any changes/additions to carolynbb@charter.net , or send them to me at 1213 Juniper Ln, Fort Worth 76126-2709. We really appreciate hearing from you all and hope you will keep us updated. I am looking forward to our 50th Class Reunion. It will be a great opportunity to renew old friendship and perhaps form some new ones. July 2008

After graduation from Paschal, I went to the University of Oklahoma in Norman. After 3 ½ years, I met and married my husband while in the University. We married in 1962 and we were together for 40 years. My husband was an engineer and we lived all over the USA. Coming back to Texas in 1970 was great experience being back in my home town. As a single lady today, I devote most of my time to my family and friends. I am a mother of 3 adult children, 5 grandchildren, and 1 great-granddaughter. Professionally, I am a Certified Appraiser of Antique’s & Fine Arts and all property found inside the home. I handle estates, probate and create personal property schedules for homeowner’s insurance. My church affiliation is St. Christopher’s Episcopal where I serve my community delivering communion to the sick, elderly and nursing homes each week. Life is a continuing education course learning new things everyday and trying to master the computer. Time flies bye and I can hardly believe it is almost been 50 years since graduation from Paschal High. Life has been good since graduation and I have enjoyed every season of my life. I am now living in my original family home which has been wonderful. Most of my older neighbors are now deceased and the area is changing as TCU takes over much of our neighborhood.

After leaving Paschal, I attended several colleges, but finally managed to cram four years into six and graduate from TCU. Held numerous economically unrewarding," brain-numbing" secretarial jobs until my marriage to John McClane, a Ft. Worth attorney. John's mother was Louise McClane, the sewing teacher at Paschal. Fort Worth has always been our family home, and we have one son, a Paschal grad who now lives in Austin. Early married life was filled with kid activities, church, some travel and LOTS of camping and fishing. In 1978 our lives changed significantly when we bought a small ranch on the Brazos River in Glen Rose, Tex. Since that year, life has revolved around enjoying and maintaining this property, adopting most of the dogs and cats left at the front gate, and spending many hours commuting from our home in Ft. Worth to Glen Rose and back. Life's been fun, and I hope there's lots more to come. Hope all of you are planning to come to the Reunion in October 2009.

After
graduation from Paschal, I enrolled at Texas Tech as a physical
education major with a minor in biology. Played baseball 4 years,
beginning as a freshman walk-on shortstop, earning a scholarship for the
remaining 3 years. Returned for a 5th year to finish academic work, and
served as a student assistant in the athletic training department during
the fall semester, and coached the freshman baseball team in the spring. Hobbies are fishing, baseball history, and Civil War history. An avid, but often times frustrated Texas Rangers fan. September 2008

I got married right after graduation to Johnny Allen ('57) and moved to Dallas where he graduated from Baylor Dental School and got his master's and residency in Oral Surgery. We were married for 20 years and had 2 sons: Bill, 39 and Brian, 35. Bill has given us 2 beautiful grandchildren: Zachary 5 and Avery Grace 17 months. After our divorce in 1981, I went back to college and got my BA at UT Dallas. Also got Paralegal training after that. Then my career started in Health Care Administration - Baylor, Presbyterian, and ending up working for John, running his Front Office (we are still best friends after 20 yrs marriage and 23 yrs divorced). I retired but John has not. He is senior partner in a practice of 5 doctors and 3 offices. He tries to work just 2 or 3 days a week. I spend my time with the grandchildren, church (Wilshire Baptist) and traveling every chance I get. I live in a condo on Turtle Creek with my cat, Rupert. See you at reunion.

After Paschal I went to school part time and worked part time at various jobs in Austin and the Fort Worth area. In 1963 I married Edaella “Edee” Pittman, PHS class of ’61. She graduated from TCU in 1964 and I finally graduated from TCU in 1969 while working at General Dynamics as a computer analyst. Five more years of evening graduate school before calling it quits. We have three children and six grand-children. My oldest son, George T. (Tim), is an instructor at Tarrant County College and a part time paramedic living in Burleson. My daughter Hayley graduated from TCU where she met her “football lineman” husband. They live in New Braunfels and have 5 children (4 boys). My youngest son John “Todd” graduated from the University of Texas and married an Aggie. They recently moved from Austin to Crowley. They have 1 son (so far). I retired from Bell Helicopter Textron as Director of Customer Support and Services after 35 years. My various jobs afforded us the opportunity to travel widely within the U.S. and Canada, as well as Europe, South America, Central America, Middle East, Africa and Asia. (I accumulated over 2,000,000 air miles on one airline) From our travels, we have so many “collectibles” in our home in Fort Worth that we have had to expand by building a house on our ranch in the Texas hill country. I stay busy, raising cattle, building barns, hunting, playing golf, and traveling. I am blessed with a wonder wife of 45 years, a wonderful family, good friends, and good health.

After graduation in 1959, I went off to "Arlington State College", as it was called at the time - living on campus and finding that boys finally were discovering me - a reversal if ever there was one. In three semesters I had three majors, i.e., business, speech and commercial art. When I missed getting elected as one of the six All-College favorites in 1960 by only six votes, I decided to chuck it in, move to Dallas where my Mom and Step dad now lived, and work in the exciting atmosphere of DOWNTOWN DALLAS! That lasted three months - and then in August of 1961 I married my old classmate from McLean and Paschal - Gemy Mahan. Gemy and I were married four years - most of time while he studied at Texas Tech in Lubbock and then divorced in the summer of 1965. Our son, Shawn Harper Mahan, was born in 1964 - he's now 40 and a source of pride to both of us. Shawn majored in Film at UTA and graduated in 1987. He is finally working in a field he really loves - he's Assistant Manager at the Angelicka Film Center and Cafe here in Dallas and he is doing great. As for me, getting divorced and having to support myself was the best thing that ever happened to me because I finally found something I was really, really good at. I have had so many really special jobs, among them five years in my late twenties working for the Dean of Students and Registrar at Southwestern Medical School where I really had just too much fun, followed by three years as the Newsroom Secretary at Channel 4/CBS. I met so many famous people, including chatting up George Bush #1, Michael Caine, etc, etc. Other special jobs including six years with a mental health counseling group called "Human Affairs" (the first Employee Assistance Program in the country) - the job I think I loved most of all. My last position was also a bit of a dream job - working as Administrative Office Manager for the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra. This four year stint took me on a two week tour of France and Switzerland - a six concert tour in June 1994 - a perfectly marvelous experience. I have had a really sweet life - some major bumps along the way but then, hasn't everyone! I had to retire in 1998 (which was a big adjustment) - but things are going so well now. In July of this year I sold my house and I am living in a sweet little "cottage" apartment on the tenth floor of a Retirement Apartment group near downtown Dallas. I love it - so little responsibility and so many nice people to visit with. It was a big decision - after a bout with a "Grande mal seizure" and hospitalization on my 63 birthday in December last year, my son and his girlfriend, who doesn't take no for an answer, found the Dickison Place, surprised me by furnishing it before I even got here - they have just been wonderful.. I was also able to bring two of my cats and we are just one happy family. I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone at the Reunion!

When I graduated from Paschal in 1959, I was so “in love” that I saw no need for any higher education. The only degree I cared about was a MRS. I married in 1962. Meanwhile I went to work as an office assistant to Dr I. L. Van Zandt. I worked there for 5 years. During my 34 years of a very traditional marriage, we lived in several distinct parts of Texas. My husband was a school superintendent and besides Fort Worth, we lived in Nacogdoches, Sinton (outside Corpus Christi), Galveston, Abilene, and Alief (Houston). Our last move was to Austin in 1991. Designing and decorating a new house is the only good thing about moving. That became my hobby. I have 2 wonderful children and 6 very extraordinary grandchildren. My daughter, Dawn, lives in Austin and is in Training and Development. She and her husband Matt have 4 children- Griffin, Harris, Reagan and Ryder. My son, Kelly, lives in The Woodlands and is an orthopedic surgeon. He and his wife Heather have 2 children- Alexandra and Hayden. After my divorce, not having worked outside the home for 31 years, I was extremely fortunate to find a job in a field I loved. I went to work part-time for Calico Corners helping other people decorate their homes. I retired from my official part-time job at Calico Corners. Now I spend my time caring for and playing with grandchildren - and generally just enjoying life every day. October 2008

I was graduated from the University of Oklahoma, College of Law in 1966. I am employed by a large, regional independent insurance agency. I have three children, three stepchildren, one ward, seven grandchildren, two ex-wives and one current wife. My 27 year-old stepson is now my God son (I married his mother twenty five years after he was baptized). I enjoy piloting my small aircraft, and I play golf at least 200 days each year. I am blessed with good health. I look forward to retiring to a warm climate in the near future. Over the years, it's been amazing how many times I have been asked about growing up in Fort Worth, and how many times the questioner has known of Paschal High School. We are well known! Gary
Jarmon, J.D.-
