My wife, Marion & I moved from Arkansas to Arizona about 3 years ago and I forgot to provide current information. Am retired and have been here for almost 6 years. Spent most of my professional life in various overseas venues working for the Army & Air Force Exchange Service. Between the two of us, we have 5 children and (at last count) 6 grandchildren. We stay busy with church activities, trying to keep our bodies reasonably fit at our fitness center/natatorium and we do as much traveling as we can. I very much appreciate all the work the reunion committee does to plan for these events and will be tickled to see many old friends once again. Thanks to you, Cliff, for the outstanding job you do maintaining the website. Update 03/23/09. |

W.R. "Bob" Branson Deceased (05/2007) |
Hello, Jimmy, My name is Lynda Branson Grantham (lyndag1@suddenlink.net). My older twin brothers graduated in 1959 from OHS. I have tried twice before to have them listed as deceased without any luck. I am the only person left in our original family unit who can relay this information about them. William ROBERT BRANSON died last May 2007 of a massive stroke with Harold WAYNE BRANSON dying 6 months earlier in December 2006 of a heart attack. Robert left a wife, Betty Parum Branson (graduated OHS in 1957), 2 daughters, 1 son, & 2 granddaughters. Wayne was divorced with no children. We all attended and graduated from OHS; they did in 1959; I did in 1970. I just feel that it is my duty to list them as deceased since I'm the only one left to do so. Thank you for your time and trouble. Lynda. Updated 03/01/09. |

After graduation from OHS I attended TAMC through my junior year when Uncle Sam and I became friends. Got my commission, served in many overseas locations including 2 years in Viet Nam with the 25 InfDiv.. After 12 years of active duty a divorce from the lady I married in California I wound up in Houston. Have been married to Kathy, from Port Arthur, for almost 24 years now and very happy. I stayed in the Army Reserves while pursuing a career in sales and marketing. I retired from the reserves as a Maj in 1990 but am still in sales. Currently I represent one of the largest manufactures of caskets in the US and cover all of Southeast Texas and Louisiana as far east as Baton Rouge. I look forward to hearing from some of the old gang and am making every effort to rearrange my schedule to attend the big 40 reunion. We bought 27 acres out here about 3 years ago on Mound Creek. What once was corn fields I am now struggling to turn into a horse ranch. Somehow we got involved with raising and showing miniature horses about 4-5 years ago. At present we only have 10 but 4 mares are expecting within the next-2 months so that will be a major increase to our herd. Never knew what hard work really was until I decided that I could do all this by myself. Have put in all the fences, planted hay, built a 46 x 55' two story barn (not quite finished) decks, paddocks, dug a pond by hand with the help of my wife of 27 years, Kathy and the list goes on. Hope to be able to attend a reunion soon but just don't know when. Sure wish I had some of the hair from way back in '59, almost totally bald now. Would enjoy hearing from some of you out there.

Gail
(Spincic) Burnett |
After attending North Texas and obtaining my Masters in Business Education and teaching at junior colleges I returned to Odessa and was the Director of Student Activities and was teaching at Odessa College. This is when I met and married Wes Spincic in 1975. From that time on I stayed home and raised our children--Reggie and Sheri Pool. We moved to Kingwood, Texas just north of Houston in 1976 where we continued our lives. Reggie is now 34 years of age, graduated from Texas A & M and the University of Houston Law School. He is presently living in Santa Cruz California and has supplied me with one tremendous grandson. Sheri is 30 and living in Beaumont, Texas. She recently received her master's degree from Sam Houston State University in Education and teaches high school computer classes in Beaumont. Sheri has added so much joy and excitement to our lives as she was always very active in school. She participated in the Miss Texas Pageant, and served as a Houston Oilier Cheerleader before marrying Ken Weaver and moving to Beaumont. Wes was trained in engineering at the United States Military Academy and has had extensive experience working in the international oil business with Mobil Oil and Avanti for the past twenty-five years. Wes is the owner and president of Avanti Consulting, Ltd -US. With my children grown and not located in Houston I have gone to work at a mortgage company that Wes owns. I have had a very happy and privileged life. We have had the opportunity to travel throughout the U.S. and abroad and have enjoyed owning a boat docked in Florida where we were able to explore the Bahamas and Caribbean Islands. I love living in Houston and invite all my classmates to drop in for a visit if you are ever in this area. Updated 06/26/01.
