Phone (731) 824-1993 I only attended HHS during my sophomore year, 1972, and later graduated from Judson High School in Converse, Texas (right outside San Antonio) in 1975. I had many friends during school, especially athletes as I played everything under the sun. One day I was scrolling around and found several e-mail addresses of several "classmates." I e-mailed them, but never heard from them. I also wanted to try to get any copy of any of the basketball games I played in when I was on the JV team. My coach was Bob Mohler (sp?). We wore some pretty outrageously short shorts. I thought my family would get a kick out of seeing that; the only danger is them seeing my lack of bball skill! You, of course, have no idea who I am, but I wanted to start somewhere. I would also like to make my info known so some of my old friends may see it and want to contact me. I have been teaching New Testament and Greek at Union University in Jackson, TN for the last 11 years. I am now a full time pastor at Northbrook Church in Three Way, TN, while still serving as an adjunct professor for the University.

Subject: Sad message

This can be passed on to those who remember Joan Muschamp '52. Joan's husband, Phil Brossman, has been keeping me informed since she had a stroke about ten days or two weeks ago. He was very hopeful at first, but I guess further testing shows that she will not recover.

Wake up call. Does everyone have an Advanced Directive? I've just finished a hospice volunteer course, and I know how important that piece of paper is. --Shirley Valentine Irvin

I had a long talk with Joan's doctor this morning, and also with her neuro doc. Joan will never return to what she had been, and she has specifically directed that she does not want to be kept alive by machinery. She has been taken off the respirator, and the feeding tubes. She will be transported to a hospice in Sierra Vista, tomorrow. I do not anticipate survival past another week. She will have no pain. She is completely unaware of me, her nurses, her doctors. All responses are completely reflex. Those of you on which I depended to notify others, please do so. Joan will be cremated, and I will take her ashes to Philosophenhoehe in Heidelberg, and scatter them there in accordance with her wishes. --Phil Brossman

Letters to the Editor

BOB'S BULLetin

HONOR ROLL

Many schools around the country are no longer publishing Honor Rolls. The reason, you may ask. It is because those that did not make the Honor Roll may be traumatized by not seeing their name on it. Therefore the achiever can not be recognized.

None of the people making these idiotic touchy feely rules have any awareness of the way the real world works. They likely are all losers themselves.

These people do nothing to stop an academic dunce that may be a star football player being recognized and honored for his performance. They see no relationship between the two things.

Some of the things that should be done if their "logic" is carried throughout the real world: *If a widget factory must put out 100 widgets per widget builder per day to break even before a profit is made it would be OK with these administrators and teachers if someone only put out ten. Or any number less than 100.

Are they really too stupid to realize the factory would soon be out of business and all their untraumatized students would be unemployed and their families would be on the street.

*Football fields should have no goal posts.

*Scores should not be kept in human endeavor.

*Driving tests should be a thing of the past.

*Your pilot could be anyone that felt like flying your plane.

*Someone that only trained on Tinker Toys could build the bridge for you to drive over.

There answer to things like that is, "Oh, that's different." Really. How? It is how they are training our kids. They want everyone to be brought down to their own level of incompetence.

The Heidelberg American High School, Heidelberg, Germany Class of 1953 had a lovely young lady named Nancy Dreibelbies. Nancy was Valedictorian. She was a great student, incredibly nice, pleasant and clearly the smartest one of us. It is possible she had close competition with a lady named Sylta Rasche.

Nancy and Sylta could not have been nicer even as smart as they were. Nancy never said anything about her intelligence. Occasionally when riding the bus home to Sonnenberg with Sylta she would make a funny comment about her intelligence. She knew she was smart but she never held it over us. She just considered it a fact of life and thought it was funny. She was never self deprecating but she could make very funny comments about it.

How did the rest of us feel about their intelligence. The sun came up every morning, it snowed in the winter and Nancy and Sylta were smarter than we were. Those were just facts and were the way the world was.

It is possible some of the class was traumatized by something but it certainly was not because of not seeing their names on the Honor Roll.

Some might say Sylta was smarter because she married a multi billionaire and lives in Switzerland. Nancy married Dr. Carl Reiley, raised four or five wonderful kids, became a nurse and lives in Carmel, California.

Nancy would disagree with anyone thinking Sylta was smarter than her because of the billionaire. I do not believe she would say that out loud. Nancy would just wish Sylta well and continue to know that, for her, she made the best deal with Carl. Carl was a Doctor in Nam. I don't know if he was career Army.

Come to think of it, I wonder if their superior intelligence gave me an unconscious trauma to the extent that it caused me to go blind thirty one years later. Maybe I can get unreasonable compensation from both of them. Especially Sylta. Anyone know Melvin Belli's phone number?
