Gawrsh, that moon was purty. Still is, for that matter. I wanna make sure I'm in the communications loop for Reunion 60. Might not be able to make it cause I just got one lung now, and it has COPD, but it may improve.

Re: Tonight is the night!

 

I enjoyed seeing"our moon" last night after seeing the movie "The Beekeeper" at the Fort Worth Joint Naval Base. My husband, daughter and I were driving home and I commented on "our Bobcat moon".
You could almost see the details on the surface.

The Chosen

 

I was just wondering if any of you have watched "The Chosen" series?
I did not know about it until I talked to my daughter and then I typed in Angel Studios on the computer and the series is available there. I have been slowly watching from Season 1, Episode 1, and have really been enjoying it. At least this way, there are no commercials to annoy you.
I think she said it was up to about Season 4 now so I have a lot of catching up to do. I think it is well done and is great.

I don’t know if we’ll replace it at this point or not, but the old company (a big corporate business) is about to get 86’ed.

REUNION 60

Report on he meeting last week. ?Very little excitement ?… no one got drunk or in a fistfight and the police only came one time.?

On he serious side, it was a very good meeting. ?I think we had 14 or 15 people there. ?We did not decide on anything except Robert Dillard will be the treasurer. ?The bank account was transferred over to him, so at a point in time, that is where money will go.
As was reported, we discussed the possibility of a sheep statue being pained and displayed on the Central campus. ?I talked to the new principal and she was agreeable to this. ?Design ideas will be headed up by Trisha Aylor. ?The cost of the “sheep” will be maybe $4000. ?Is there enough interest from y’all to pursue this?
It was discussed that we would devote our time together as a visiting time, meaning no band or music to distract from the visiting time. ?
Since the Hotel does not have a restaurant, we will e able to have our Saturday evening meal catered. ?There is a breakfast area with coffee and light breakfast available at the hotel.
A little later on, we will start looking into food for the evening meal from different folks. ?I suggested the the food should be “soft to chew and have lotsa fiber”. ?
Ron Perry will do the table for the remembrance of deceased classmates.
Several classmates from “out of town” have contacted me regarding helping. ?We can use you. ? Thanks.
Suzi Cypert will be working on a directory. ?She will need some help with current contact information. ?We will try to organize this soon. ?Let me know if you can help. ?We had a lot of mail returned at the last reunion because of bad addresses. ?I think a phone call or personal text will yield better results.
We discussed the price, but we did not decide, yet.
Whatever I forgot and left out ?………. ?This that were there will comment on. ?

We will have another meeting in a couple of months.

Anything y’all can think of, let us know.

Blessings to everyone. ? Stay Healthy. ? ? ? DON’T ?FALL

Re: Louis Rork obituary

 

I'm very sorry to hear about Louis, praying for his family to be comforted. I can remember having conversations with him from time to time, just can't remember the topics. (Imagine that!!)

Subject: [sachs1964] Louis Rork obituary

? Harper Funeral Home - Memorial Service Saturday*
Louis Edward Rork passed away on February 10, 2024, after a long battle with Multiple System Atrophy. Louis was born in San Angelo, Texas on February 19, 1946 to Hallie Mae Terry and Robert Louis Rork. His family included older brother Bob and younger brother Bill. While Louis was very young, they lived in several oil and gas towns in West Texas before settling in San Angelo in 1953.
Louis loved his hometown of San Angelo, where he lived most of his life. He made scores of life-long friends including those who would later introduce him to his future wife, Kay, along with her daughters Jana and Channing.
Louis graduated from San Angelo Central High School in 1964 and the University of Texas at Austin in 1968. He worked for many years in the oil and gas business with his friend and mentor Jack Bleakley and later developed a real estate career. Though Louis contributed his time and talents to many civic and arts organizations in the San Angelo area and his beloved Emmanuel Episcopal Church, he spent countless hours studying and collecting art, antiques, and fine jewelry. He shared these passions with Kay, with whom he had a successful antique and estate sale business.
Though Louis treasured the beautiful objects he collected over the years, it was his friendships he cherished most, many of which began in his earliest years of life. He and his childhood friends grew up together like an extended family, celebrating life’s most significant events, supporting each other through times of challenge and simply enjoying each other’s company. Louis’s friends recall the escapades they had as boys and young men, especially dove hunting outside of town and eating at Zentner’s steak house. His circle of good friends grew over the years to include the Tuesday “lunch bunch,” the crew of men who traveled to Mason for the annual Spring Turkey Hunt, and their monthly supper group.
Louis loved to cook and entertain. He enjoyed parties and social gatherings. Friends and family could always pick Louis out of a crowd, not just because of his large stature, but because he loved to tell a good story and was frequently holding court. He had a quick wit, a dry sense of humor, and strong opinions about almost everything! Louis softened immediately upon the sight or mention of anyone’s grandchildren—particularly his own. His girls loved to watch him dote on his grandchildren about whom he always had several funny and sweet stories to share.
Louis loved and was loved by many, but first and foremost, he adored Kay—his wife and constant companion of over forty-five years. He depended on her greatly and fretted when she happened to be out of town, claiming he couldn’t sleep or rest without her. They had the same interests, enjoyed going out with their friends, traveling, and worked on countless projects together around the house.
Louis was preceded in death by his parents, Hallie and Robert Rork, and his brothers Robert and William Rork. Louis is survived by his wife Kay Gilley Rork; his daughter Jana Burk, and her children Paul and Genevieve; his daughter Channing and husband Rick, and their children Benjamin and Alexander Bushnell; his nephews Jon and wife Molly Dixon, Patrick and wife Jill Rork, and niece Sharon and husband Joey Schwab, and their children and grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held for Louis at Emmanuel Episcopal Church on Saturday, February 17, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. The family requests that any memorial contributions be made to Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Fort Concho, West Texas Rehab, or a charity of your choice.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
Don't wait for Congress to set term limits, vote them out after two terms.

? Harper Funeral Home - Memorial Service Saturday*
Louis Edward Rork passed away on February 10, 2024, after a long battle with Multiple System Atrophy. Louis was born in San Angelo, Texas on February 19, 1946 to Hallie Mae Terry and Robert Louis Rork. His family included older brother Bob and younger brother Bill. While Louis was very young, they lived in several oil and gas towns in West Texas before settling in San Angelo in 1953.
Louis loved his hometown of San Angelo, where he lived most of his life. He made scores of life-long friends including those who would later introduce him to his future wife, Kay, along with her daughters Jana and Channing.
Louis graduated from San Angelo Central High School in 1964 and the University of Texas at Austin in 1968. He worked for many years in the oil and gas business with his friend and mentor Jack Bleakley and later developed a real estate career. Though Louis contributed his time and talents to many civic and arts organizations in the San Angelo area and his beloved Emmanuel Episcopal Church, he spent countless hours studying and collecting art, antiques, and fine jewelry. He shared these passions with Kay, with whom he had a successful antique and estate sale business.
Though Louis treasured the beautiful objects he collected over the years, it was his friendships he cherished most, many of which began in his earliest years of life. He and his childhood friends grew up together like an extended family, celebrating life’s most significant events, supporting each other through times of challenge and simply enjoying each other’s company. Louis’s friends recall the escapades they had as boys and young men, especially dove hunting outside of town and eating at Zentner’s steak house. His circle of good friends grew over the years to include the Tuesday “lunch bunch,” the crew of men who traveled to Mason for the annual Spring Turkey Hunt, and their monthly supper group.
Louis loved to cook and entertain. He enjoyed parties and social gatherings. Friends and family could always pick Louis out of a crowd, not just because of his large stature, but because he loved to tell a good story and was frequently holding court. He had a quick wit, a dry sense of humor, and strong opinions about almost everything! Louis softened immediately upon the sight or mention of anyone’s grandchildren—particularly his own. His girls loved to watch him dote on his grandchildren about whom he always had several funny and sweet stories to share.
