Personally, I like to shop the day after Christmas. I get some real good deals at Wal-Mart. Anyhow, I am whizzing down an aisle and made a right turn to head for the reduced outdoor lights. And look who I ran into - COACH BILL ORR. Yep, I had to chat with him. Now, here is my point to you: Coach Orr turned 90 in October. Did you know that? I sure didn't. We talked about our 50th reunion (Class of 1959), football at WPHS, other teachers, alumni - you name it. He even brought up that he felt bad that Larry Cowart ('58) had passed away. So, I decided to whip out my $10.00 Tracfone and take a couple of pics. I told him I was going to send these pics to the 1959 classmates. His reply: "Do you think they still remember me"? Imagine how it will make him feel if he got BIRTHDAY WISHES from the '59ers. So, that's my story. I will leave it up to you as to what YOU want to do. Coach Orr's email address is: worrjr@cfl.rr.com

P.S. I did get my lights 1/2 price...I am good to go for next Christmas........
