Spent my Sophomore year as a Cardinal 1967-68 school year. Went to three different High Schools in three different parts of the country. Was a professional student at Texas Tech in Lubbock for all of the 1970's, finally attaining a BA in English in 1980. Joined the Navy at age 30 in 1982 and spent time onboard the then-new CVN70 Carl Vinson carrier. I've been in the DFW area since 1987. Married late at 37 to a local gal in 1989. We've got an amazing 10 yr old son who may be someone like Tim Burton when he grows up. Went to a local Junior College and finished an Associate Degree in Aircraft Maintenance with an A&P license at the end of 1990. Worked on general aviation aircraft until hired by GTE several years ago. Now Verizon, I am in Central Office Tech Support. The pay is better than aircraft. Also have had a Private Pilot license since the summer of Lubbock HS graduation 1970. The late 1960's were a great time to be a teenager in High School!

I don't know if anyone remembers me, but I was the little redheaded, freckled face girl (with the dark glasses). Jo Ann Foster found me the other day and told me about the class reunion. I hope someone remembers me. I was not very popular nor was I very active in school events but I always admired those of you who were. When I graduated from high school, I worked for a while then got married in 1972. In 1996 I got divorced. I served in the Air Force for a couple of years, got out, then joined the reserves. After 12 years, I decided that was not for me. I will be retiring from Civil Service in about 5 years with 30 years service. I have been at the VA Hospital in Houston for about 20 years and I live in Hitchcock, Texas. I am a proud grandmother a 7 year old girl (Monica). She is the light of my life.

Lyzz Strahan-Pickle (Class of 1970)
E-mail: Lyzzpickle@yahoo.com
Hi Guys! I just read all your postings for the Class of '70, and it was great to hear about each of you. I left BC after the first semester of our Sophomore year, and I've never been back to visit, so I'm sure most of you won't remember me - but I remember you. I attended 14 different public schools from K to 12, and BCHS was my very favorite - really! Everyone was so warm and friendly; it really didn't matter that I hadn't grown up with you - I was one of you after the first week of our Freshman year. I remember great football games, poster parties, and something called a "Swamp Stomp." Do you remember "Running Bear" playing on the juke box in the cafeteria during lunch? Anyway it will be great to see you all after all these years at the reunion next month. I will also get to re-unite with my adopted family, the Schexnider's, since Charlotte is rounding all of them up for me - what a great weekend! I work in marketing (but am otherwise honest) as a product manager for a software company that sells to the Utility and Municipal market. It's very exciting since every project is "global" and the technology is always bleeding edge. Watch out for de-regulation - if you don't like what's happened to your phone bills, you'll really be surprised how your electric bill and service are about the change in Texas. I have an MBA from LeTourneau University - have any of you attended their campus in Houston? - it's a great program, if you're interested. My husband, Mike, and I have been married for 28 years, we live on a farm near Athens and Palestine on land that has been in his family for over a hundred years. I commute 100+ miles to Tyler each day. Our daughter, Julie, is an Admissions Counselor for Tyler Junior College if you want to send your children or grandchildren (are we truly that old?) to beautiful East Texas to begin their higher education. She is about to marry and move to Virginia where her future husband is a tennis coach at William and Mary in Williamsburg. More when we see each other in October - please come to the reunion - I'd really love to see each of you!

I am currently residing in Mobile, Alabama. After spending the 1st 15 years of my career working in Houston for Continental Airlines and I decided to give the Alabama Gulf coast a try. This is where my Grandmother and Mother were raised so it is as though I have come to a place where I meet new cousins every week. This is a wonderful area to live with excellent beaches and wonderful golf courses plus it is the home of the original Mardi Gras which will be starting shortly. I have a 7 year old daughter named Shelby Ann and she lives in Houston. I'll try to keep this short but could go on for a while. I think this is a great idea and will be anxious to see how many of the class of 70 we can get to participate.

Hi everyone! I graduated from Lamar U. with a teaching degree in business but didn't choose to teach. Instead, I worked for five years at Texaco Inc. and the last twenty years for Dupont. My most interesting assignment for Dupont was as the recruiter for the Orange and Beaumont sites. Got to talk to lots of college students from all over the country! My husband, Leroy, and I have three sons -- Todd - 32, Ryan- 21, who will be married this November, and Cody- 15. Leroy and I swim several times a week--and I'm happy to say that I have worked up to 21 laps! We enjoy doing things with our friends--some of the ones we hang out with are Dale Etheridge, Larry Jacobs, Steve and Melinda Sanders! We also spend lots of time as sponsors of Cody's youth group at church. I don't mind helping get a reunion together with Charlotte and Jeannette--although it is true that we have put the last three together. I'd love to hear from our classmates.

I live in a small town named Harlan, Iowa. I am a Project Engineer (Electrical) for a power distribution company, we do projects for People Mover, Heavy Rail Trains, and Airport Monorails. I travel all over the world doing installations, OEM, and start up installations, Love this job. Lost one wife (of 25 years) due to the travel, but still had two children, Jason (21) lives in Washington State, and Tressa (23) who lives in Dallas. My second wife Elena and I live in Iowa with our little one, Allison (4), yes, 4years old. Just completed a big job in Malaysia, and started a new one in Disney Tokyo. Where is Bill Goodwin, the man that said "Johnny you will never amount to a thing" ?? But, to the point, who is heading up the BIG 30TH Reunion. I only made it to one class reunion, this is due to my moving too often I guess. I am looking forward to seeing all of my class mates. Please e:mail me with any information on date and time, I wish to make sure I am there to see all.

I sure do miss those high school days. Growing up on the bayou was really special. I've been in the Clear Lake (south Houston) area, since I graduated from Lamar U.. I am the proud father of 3 kids. Dustin is 16, Lindsey is 13, and Hailey is 7. I think that I am supposed to be a grandfather now. Well, I guess I started a bit later than most. My precious wife (Kelly) passed away three years ago. Life has never been the same. My heart goes out to the loved ones and friends of the many classmates that we have lost. We stay very busy. My kids and I are always on the water, fishing, sking, but most of all just flat enjoying the water and open air. Just like everybody else, the kids are involved in sports and just about everything else kids can into. They sure have a way of keeping you young at heart. I'm still fortunate enough to be playing music professionally. The current group is called LCRoots and has been together some 20 years now. We play all kinds of music and play all over Houston. It is a great way to relax and meet people. My real job is with a company called BetzDearborn. It's a really good job, in that it pays (thank God), but most importantly, it gives me the flexibility to get my kids where they need to go. Well, I've rambled on enough. If anybody gets to Clear Lake, let me know. Love to hear from anyone!!!!

I've been employed by the District Court for the past 20 years and have worked in various capacities. I enjoy the challenges. I have been married to Larry for 20 wonderful years. He is a carpenter (remodeler). We have one son, a daughter-in-law and 2 beautiful grand-children. Halei Alyssa Jett is a smart 3 year old and her brother Robert W. Jett III is 10 month old. After high school I moved briefly to Arkansas, then California, Chicago, Colorado, Texas and back to Chicago. My family are Chicago sports fans. The Chicago White Sox and Mayor Richard Daley have been our next door neighbors for many years now. We love being South Side Cubs fans. I regret that I will not be attending the 30 year reunion. Please extend my greetings to all that attend. I know it will be so much fun trying to recognize each other through the gray hairs (or bald), wrinkles, etc. I know a good time will be had by all!!
