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........
