 I believe that this is our Jeff Parker. The obit says he was in the first grad class of Permian. However, the picture looks like him to me. Also, in the 58 yearbook, he is listed as Jeffery and in 57, listed as Lynn. I am attaching a picture that was with the obit. Maybe he did not get to graduate for some reason.

First of all, I want to say how relieved I was to discover my name was not on the deceased list. I joined the Navy out of high school, married 3 years later, have one daughter, she is due 11/04. We had horses for 30 years, still have dogs, a boat, His and her Harleys, We both recently got our pilots license and a Cessna 182. We are Christians. We've gone to the same church and in the same house for 36 years. I get tired just looking at all the stuff we're involved in. My Wife, Cherene, graduated from Loma Linda University and I graduated from Mesa Community College. Cherene is a Dental Hygienist and I am recently retired. I have never been to any of the reunions, because I was pretty much a loaner and didn't pal around with anyone. I like people, so I would
probably have a good time if I attended. Thanks to all who have taken the trouble to keep up with people and organize things. Updated 10/20/04. |

I am married to the same guy I married my senior year. We have three grown children, all married, professional people. My first son, Kerry, is an accountant in business with a colleague who handles professional athletes. Four children. UNT Denton. My daughter Kay is a dental hygienist, graduate of TWU, Denton. My youngest son Chris owns his own business, is a custom builder, graduate of UNT, has three children.. I live in the country by the lake and I love it. Can't wait to hear from you and some of our other classmates. I wish I had come to the Reunion. It would have been great to see some of my old classmates. I have just retired this year and am still "in limbo" so to speak. I am taking time to do this today because
I had surgery on my dominant arm last Tuesday and can do little else. My husband is retired and has been for some time, so it's nice to be able to do things when you want to. it seems so strange not to have the limits of a work routine. I am still not used to that. Updated 09/09/2011 |

One pet - Buttons, the kitty - she rules the roost.... Hobby -
scrapbooking. Especially enjoy and treasure the family heritage....can trace roots back from the old country. This is also a time when my friends join me - they call me the "dealer"...since I hooked them on the hobby too. From Tupperware (warehouse inventory) to trucking.... Worked for oilfield trucking companies for appx 25 yrs. from receptionist to billing to dispatch to asst dist manager for 30+ terminals in Texas. Now am working part time for another trucking company... guess the oilfield and the diesel don't get out of your system. Direct the Bell Choir at church....what a joy that is! Believe that a glass (or so) of wine is definitely a source for good health! Despite two divorces, I got the better of the deal when I got custody of the mothers-in-law.... they are definitely "keepers"... My life is blessed with wonderful friends....what treasures they are to me!! Update 08/02/09.

 Now divorced twice. My second wife is now in the later stages of Alzheimers.
Two children, Stewart married to Kelly. They have two children. Nicholas who is 12 and Miranda who is 14. My
daughter (Stephanie Fox) has one daughter, Holly, who just turned 12. Stephanie's husband is the manager of Aramark Concessions for the Cincinnati Bengals. I've been on LTD since 1990. Had two cervical fusions. I spent 9 years in the Army as a Medic. Moved my family back to Munich, Germany where I worked as a Computer Operator/Supervisor for three years. Worked for the US Navy as a Computer Programmer for 4 years. This was in New Orleans. Then worked as a Computer Programmer/Analyst for The University of Texas, Health Science Center in Houston, Texas. Then worked as a Data Dictionary analyst for Pennzoil also in Houston. I got my BA in
Philosophy/Sociology from Sam Houston State University in 1994. I went one more year to get a degree in Secondary Education, and after my 6 months of student teaching I lost all interest in teaching High Schoolers. I was afraid I'd punch some young man's lights out if I took a full time teaching job. Now that I;ve got the BA I have noone to talk with about either subject. I did a minor in English. After my separation from my second wife I moved into an apartment complex for people over 55. I've been here for two years now and just now being able to live by myself. Most of the folks here are women (most of whom are over 75) we have one 99 yr old man who just remarried to a 75 year old woman. My best friend here just had half of his right foot amputated due to diabetes. He is only in his 50's. I have one main female friend I meet in the dining hall on Thursdays and Fridays. She is somewhere in her eighties. Every Friday night the complex has a DJ come in to play records or guys who sing for two hours and people in their 80's to early 90's dance. I can't do the twist anymore because of neuropathy so I just sit and watch everyone else dance. I'm really looking to attending the 50th reunion. I've already been in touch with a guy I haven't seen in over 50 years. Update 06/26/09. |

 Lowell and I have been married for 49 years and have two sons, Michael and wife (Allyson) He is a pilot with American Airlines and our son Lang and wife (Lorie) and granddaughter (Logan 10 yrs old and grandson Cade 3 years old) Lang and Lorie represent World Ventures, They are network marketing professionals. Our hobby is travel. Lowell and I are professional network marketers, and have been with Mannatech, Inc., since it started in 1994.This has been an amazing career because our company has developed science based patented products that are designed to help people receive the nutrients our bodies need to maintain good health. It has been tremendously rewarding financially as well. Our company is a global company in sixteen countries and we have associates personally in those countries. We have recently expanded our business to the travel industry and it is an eight trillion dollar industry so there is huge opportunity there also. Our business is all about the people; helping them to achieve their dreams and goals. We have been so blessed to work with so many people including our own children. We travel together and work together. There may be a better way to make a living, but we can't think of what it might be. It is good to have the "one minute commute" and work from the Home Office-at home. If anyone wants to have some fun and make some money, give us a call. Update 09/17/09. |

 I have been married to Don Koonce for almost 46 years. In the mid-to-late 60's, we lived in Lakeland, Florida for six years where Don was the merchandising manager for a large furniture chain in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. We moved to San Antonio for a brief period and then returned to Odessa in 1973 to take over ownership of a family business, Pioneer Furniture. We recently retired after 35 years in the business and are enjoying our children and grandchildren. Our son Larry is president of North American Drilling Corporation; he and his wife Suzanne have three children, Christopher 7, John 5, and Kayla 3. Our daughter Dr. Shannon Rivas and her husband Dr. Sammy Rivas both practice medicine in Lubbock, Texas. Shannon is a pulmonoligist and critical care specialist, and Sammy is a general surgeon. They have three children, Sophie 10, Seth 3, and Shelby 1. Needless to say, we have so much fun when we all get together! I still enjoy interior decorating, cooking, and especially sewing. Don and I enjoy our home, our everyday life, our church and church family. We have been truly blessed! I am eager to renew old friendships from OHS days. Doris Jane (Sewell) Moore and I are still BBF's--Best Friends Forever!

Life has truly been a journey. After graduating from high school and Texas Tech, I moved to Ft. Worth and eventually was
transferred back to Odessa. After a two year stay, I moved to Dallas. Over the course of my life I think I have moved back and forth from Dallas to Houston at least four or five times. In 1994 I married and in moved to Massachusetts. But only stayed five months because of the intense winter. I had never seen so much snow that had to be shoveled. My husband and I moved back to Dallas. After three years of marriage he passed away and I have remained in Dallas. My health has been terrific. I am still working and am thankful that I love getting up in the morning and being active. Everyday is a blessing. Most of professional career has been in sales and management. Currently I sell office furniture for a company in Dallas. We primarily sell to the government. Most recently I have just returned from Ft. Stewart, GA where I we are in the process of building and installing a 27 million dollar project. Updated
