Subject: Death Notice - Charles S. Churchwell, on Monday, March 15, 2010

It is with regret that we inform you of the death of Charles "Skip" Churchwell. He died in Springfield, Missouri at a hospital where he had recently been admitted following a stroke. His home address was 15 Mildenhall Drive, Bella Vista, AR 72714.

An obituary will be posted in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette in next day or so, and residents who live in the Little Rock area may want to watch for it.

In our high school days, the Class Yearbook cited that Skip was a member of the Board of Governors for the Campus Inn at LRHS, Student Body President, and a member of the National Honor Society. Also, he was active in sports.

Although he could not attend the 60th reunion of our classes of 1948, he was looking forward to being there for the 62nd. He will be missed.

Our condolences go to his widow, children, and many friends.

Regards,

Paul D. Snodgrass

Hello Classmates and Friends –

We have planned a reunion to celebrate the 62nd anniversary of our graduation from Little Rock High School. We will meet in Little Rock in June.

Our first activity will be a ‘Welcoming Party’ on Thursday, June 10th, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Best Western Governors Suites, at 1501 Merrill Drive. This will be a time for early visits with those classmates who live out of town and as well as those who reside in the greater Little Rock area. This is not a luncheon but we will have light refreshments.

On Thursday evening, June 10th, we will have a Dutch treat dinner at Mimi’s Café, 11725 Chenal Parkway at 6 p.m. The Café has reserved the Garden Room for us that has a seating capacity for 85. Although you will not need to make a specific reservation, we will need to provide a number of expected attendees, let us know if you plan to join us for this event.

On Friday, June 11th, we will have a luncheon at the Pleasant Valley Country Club, One Pleasant Valley Drive at noon. We will have a brief program and lots of opportunity to visit with one another. Name tags and luncheon tickets can be picked 'up in the Club lobby beginning at 11 a.m.

Enclosed is a Registration form for you to complete and return at an early date. If you cannot attend, please send us a note. We want to hear from you. Our program will have a segment entitled, ‘Notes from Classmates’ so that our lifelong friends will know where you are and how you are doing.

If you wish to make a contribution toward the reunion expenses, please include your donation with your registration check. We appreciate your help.

I am serving as the Communication Volunteer. Let us hear from you at your earliest convenience. Tom Curry, Neil Dobbins, Dale Diffie and others are part of our Reunion Committee. We seek your help, too, so tell us if we can add your name to our list of volunteers.

Hello Ray -

V. Poindexter Fiser sent to me an obituary for Kenneth F. Thompson, who died December 3, 2009, in Sandy, Utah. The obit appeared in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette on Thursday, January 7, 2010. It stated that Kenneth was a graduate of the Class of 1947, but that is an error; he graduated in May 1948 and his picture is in our yearbook.

Kenneth was among the 'lost' persons from our class mailing list.

The obit reads as follows:

Kenneth F. Thompson, of Sandy, Utah, formerly of Little Rock, died December 3, 2009. Born in Cabot, Arkansas, January 31, 1930, he graduated from Little Rock High School in 1947 with a music scholarship to the University of Arkansas.

Mr. Thompson was a concert pianist and organist, a church organist, piano teacher, and piano tuner.

He was preceded (in death) by his parents Henry and Alice Thompson; and survived by his wife, Peggy Thompson; sons Albert Thompson of Atlanta, Georgia, Benjamin Thompson of Hot Springs, Arkansas; a brother Don Thompson of Glendale, California; two sisters, Jo Ann Mason of Kimberling City, Missouri, and Jeannette Chandler of Prairie Grove, Arkansas; and two grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at St. Marks Episcopal Church in Little Rock, January 8, 2010.

Memorials may be made to St. Marks Episcopal Church or Intermountain Hospice Care (801) 507-7000.

Paul,

I see the reference to Alma on the Lost/Found and it is dated 11/11/01. I am sorry but that would have been on my "old" computer and those files did not transfer to my new computer last year. I did not keep any copies of my messages to Ray.

I used to be able to remember important things like this in the past but no more. I have to write everything down now and then sometimes I forget where I put it.

It is like the senior that asked for a senior discount on a purchase. The clerk asked for his ID and then gave him $ 1.47 back. The senior asked what was that for.....the clerk said that is your discount. The senior asked "what discount".

I saw a baseball style cap advertised the other day that had on the front "did you give me my senior discount". That must have been made for us that forget!

I am sorry that I cannot help you. If Ray cannot shed any light on this...........maybe we should delete this from the LRHS site.

In your spare time.........drop by Penn. Avenue and see if you can help our President. He needs a lot of help.

This afternoon I received a telephone call from Jerry Gwyn, informing me that Allen died on October 23, 2009. I obtained a copy of his obituary from the Peebles Funeral Home website.

Jerry missed the 60th LRHS reunion in 2008 when his wife fell and broke her hip just as they were planning their trip to Little Rock. During a telephone conversation with Allen a few months ago, he said he was looking forward to the reunion in 2010.

Jerry, a native of North Little Rock, and a graduate of the NLRHS class of 1948, told me that Allen had health problems related to 'agent orange'.

Please add Allen to your deceased classmates list.

Thank you.

Hello Ray -

In our continuing quest to locate 'lost' and 'missing' classmates, Bert Parke inquired about Edgar O'Hair, whose last known address was Lubbock, Texas.

Edgar graduated from West Point. I checked the www.anywho.com phone book and no record. Then, I checked www.google.com and found that Edgar had been a professor of Engineering at Texas Tech University and had co-authored at least one highly technical book. I telephoned the Department of Engineering at Tech and spoke to a secretary. She said that her recordsshow that Edgar died and but she did not have his last address. I checked www.ancestry.com and the Social Security Death Index and found the following: Edgar Allen O’Hair, born September 6, 1930, died October 18, 2007, last known address Cody, Wyoming ZIP 82414. Edgar received his SS Card in Arkansas before 1951 number 429-54-0615.

Unable to find an obit for Edgar. I telephoned Ed’s widow (Marilyn) in Cody, Wyoming and she referred me to the Cody Enterpriser newspaper for the obit that appeared in January 2008. Called the newspaper and asked for a copy of the obit and it was e-mailed to me.

The obit for Edgar is attached.

OBITUARY FOR EDGAR ALLEN O’HAIR

Edgar Allen O'Hair, 77, died Oct. 18, 2007, at New Horizons Nursing Home in Lovell after fighting chronic lymphocytic leukemia for six years.

> He was a 1953 graduate of West Point and after graduation was a member of the U.S. Modern Pentathlon Team. In 1955 he placed second in the Pan-American Games in Mexico City. <

That was a big year for Ed as he also met and married the love of his life, Marilyn Markus. A year later, they celebrated the birth of their first born, Karen.

Ed went on to earn a master's degree in engineering science at Purdue University where his second child, Mark, was born. This was followed by a stint at West Point as an instructor where final child John was born.

While at West Point he earned a doctor of engineering mechanics degree from Columbia University. At this point in his career he decided to cross over to the Air Force to continue in research and development.

He was sent back to Purdue to finish his Ph.D. and afterward instructed at the Air Force Academy. He finished his military career at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, N.M., where he was responsible for leading the development of the Airborne Laser Laboratory, the precursor to the Airborne Laser currently being developed by the Air Force.

He retired from the Air Force as a colonel in 1974 and moved to Los Alamos, N.M., where he was an assistant laboratory director for one of the Los Alamos National Laboratory sites. After three years there he moved to Butte, Mont., and became an associate director of the Montana Energy Research and Development Institute.

A few years later, he again entered the teaching field as a professor of electrical engineering at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. He retired after 21 years and was awarded the distinction of Professor Emeritus.

It was while he was at Texas Tech that he and his wife happened to visit Cody in the 1990s. They fell in love with the area and eventually decided to make Cody their home when Ed retired. After spending eight summers visiting Cody, they built a home and moved here in 2000.

He is survived by his wife, daughter Karen (William) Fox of San Antonio, Texas, son Mark (Elizabeth) O'Hair of Niceville, Fla., son John (Marcelley) O'Hair of New Carlisle, Ohio, nine grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and sister Edna Ward (Butler) Toland of San Antonio, Texas. A memorial service will be 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 25, at First Presbyterian Church. Cremation has taken place and cremains will be interred at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio at a later date. The family suggests memorials to the Edgar A. and Marilyn M. O'Hair Scholarship at Austin Theological Seminary, 100 East 27th St., Austin, Texas, 78705, or to a charity of choice.

I received this email from Billie Sharp (Geurin) today about her husband.

I see that plans are being made to hold the 61st LRHS May 1948 reunion. Words seem to be specific about MAY 1948. Is there a specific reason that the JANUARY CLASS of 1948 is not invited?

Was just remembering that in the past, when others were organizing reunions, the Jan. '48 class was invited.

Since there were only 128 members in the Jan. '48 class you may have guessed that there were not many of us left to attend.

Anyway, thought I would check in to see if it was a possibility.

Okay. Now I see on the 'reunion website' that you have a new e-mail address.

Sorry I did not know that earlier.

Hello Ray -

Yesterday, I sent the following message to our May '48 classmates for whom I have e-mail addresses. Your copy 'bounced' perhaps due to some 'spam' or other control.

Hope this copy reaches you.

Best regards.

TODAY is the 61st anniversary of the graduation for the May Class of 1948 from Little Rock High School.

May 28, 1948 was a great day for us in Little Rock. The weather was beautiful, typical for the spring in pleasant Arkansas. We wore caps and gowns and did not seem overheated in that 'huge' stadium behind the school.

Our families and friends were there with us for the 'Commencement Exercises. The processional was the "Grand March" by Schmidt, played by the high school band. With the presentation of flags, the band, chorus, graduates, and the audience joined in singing 'America, the Beautiful'.

Principal J. W. Matthews, in his message to seniors in the class yearbook, said "You as seniors are entering a world that is in a very unstable condition. The recent conflict embracing all races, colors, and creeds has created world-wide problems that you, as citizens of a working democracy will have to face". Additionally, he stated that 'The practice of democratic principles requires patience, tolerance, intelligence, and the will to work for the good of all". His words would be suitable the current graduating class.

Certainly, many years have passed since we 'commenced' our lives in various careers and in various places in and beyond the borders of the Little Rock that we knew so well. However, we have not forgotten the benefits received at LRHS and the opportunity to grow up in a world with a much slower pace than today.

On this 'special' day, please take a moment to acknowledge the 61st anniversary.

Next year, we plan to hold a 62nd anniversary reunion in Little Rock, on a date to be announced early in 2010. We hope that you will attend.

Best wishes.

Turn on the sound and prepare to slap your knee and laugh your head off. The words are included if you are hard of hearing, like me. I think Ray Stevens is a national treasure.

When I clicked on this website I got no sound so I copied and pasted into my browser and the sound came through. It's worth the trouble.

Hi Ray,

Probably because I generally go to the LRHS web site from your message, I no longer have it bookmarked. Will you please send it to me?

Thank you.
