Wendell Loban sent me this awesome letter, and I wanted to share it with you all.
Spring Woods HS Class of 1971 2/26/2023
Wow: We came, we saw, we conquered. The class of 71 we have done it all, we grew up as friends and classmates. When we graduated, we went different ways, some went to war, to school, to work, we started businesses, we invented things and I am sure we helped change and improve the world. As I read the profiles, what a resume, we traveled and saw the world, we all have a story, all are different and interesting. As God’s Children we have a mind and a zest for adventure.
Growing up in Spring Branch in the 60’s was a special time. We could ride our bicycles through our neighborhoods, we knew our neighbors, we played outside, we drank water from a hose. Our neighborhood gathering places Royal Oaks Swimming Pool, Shadow Oaks Theater, and the Thunderbird Drive-in. Our kids probably will never go to a drive-in movie.
During our Life we have seen many changes, color TV’s (now days one in every room) ,toaster ovens, Microwave Ovens, Water beds, mister coffee, etc. Mobile phones, pagers, bag phones, Blackberries, I-phones, etc. Bolton Burger is gone making way for Jack in the box, Burger King, and McDonalds, etc.
We have lost too many friends along the way, but what a great journey it has been. I for one am glad we grew up as a baby boomer, I still like Rock and Roll, Classic Cars. Even though we grew up in the fast lane, I still remember the slower simpler times, when neighbors were neighbors, people respected each other, and you could trust what you saw and heard. It was a time friends actually took the time to talk and listen to others. God Bless America.
The class of 71 still have a long way to go, places to see, things to do, and people to meet. What a beautiful world we live in. Sad that over 30 to 50 % of our classmates are not on classmates. Maybe this will trigger some interest to share some of the great places we have seen, things we have done, friends we met along the way, and family.
Class of 1971, Go Tigers
