My Homepage

This is Patricia S. (Manuel) Meneley better known in school
as Patti Manuel. I have a daughter named Michelle, a son
named Erick, and a son named Kurt. I also have two
grandchildren named Angel and Gage who live in Florida. I
am single and a late in life bloomer. I got my Bachelor's
Degree in August 2003 in Liberal Studies. I teach Special
Education/ TMH (Trainable Mentally Handicapped) at
Antelope Valley High School in Lancaster, California. I
have completed my preliminary certification at California
State University at Bakersfield/Antelope Valley Campus
and am working on my clear certification as well as my
master's degree in Special education/ moderate to
severe. I hope to be finished by the Spring of 2007. I just
realized that if I was smart in higher level math and science
that I could have been a doctor of medicine as long as it
takes to be a teacher in California. Since I intend to work
until I drop dead, I guess it doesn't matter because I love
what I am doing. The only thing is I swore when I
graduated from BSHS in "66" that I was leaving the sand
behind and I did for awhile. I spent 13 years in Sarasota,
Florida. Then I moved to California and I hate to admit that
Lancaster is an awful lot like Big Spring. Oh, well! Anxious
to hear more about our sight.

From Linda Hamlin (Kellogg)
In 2011 we will be soooooo retired and will definitely
make plans to get back to Big Spring for the reunion.

Ray and I will be celebrating our 37th wedding
anniversary in December. Our son, Mike, lives in
Kerrville, has an outstanding job and is being pretty
picky about choosing a mate. Needless to say, we
do not have bragging rights on grandkids yet but our
time will come (smile).

In the meantime, Ray is retired and loving it and I'm
still working and loving it! I do have plans to retire
next year and then we'll begin yet another fine
chapter.

From Judy Daniel (South)
I am expecting a new grandbaby in October.
I only have one other and she is 17 so will have quit a gap
between them (the 17 year old is my daughter's and the
expected one is my son's). It was so great to see pictures
of everyone and especially the pix that had NAMES
below!

From Martha Dawes (Davis)
Hello everyone,

I wish my husband Charley and I had decided to clean out
the garage BEFORE the 40th reunion, but maybe it’s
better this way, anyhoo. Gary has provided us a way to
continue our reunion…

I came across my ‘Scrapbook’ of our senior year, and
believe me, I have material to entertain a lot of people for a
long time, but I think I’ll start with these typical photos from
a class trip. In this case, it was our choir/band tour to New
Orleans and here you will see me, Sandy Ivie, Patsy…?,
and was it Judy Daniel? mugging in one of those little
photo booths. Patsy was eating my hair, Ceil was the
demure one, and Sandy, who was that 4th girl behind us—I
know her face (or what you can see of it). I copied Danny
Kirby on this, because he recently saw my brother Joe at
Alberto’s and mentioned what a shy, retiring type I was in
high school—well this should put that notion to rest!!

Cheers

Martha
