Class_of_1964State Basketball Champions are Watson Chapel's Team.Posted by TerryWilliamson51 at 16:26, on Monday, March 17, 2008
I'll bet that like my wife and me, you have been sitting at the TV watching all the conference basketball playoffs to see who will get into the NCAA Tournament. I know we are getting old when I received a cutout from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that was sent to me from Sam Wamble, South Side Class of 64. Sam lives in Pine Bluff Arkansas. Sam's daughter, Caitlyn Wamble was shown embracing a team member after that team member had just made a game-winning layup with 2.2 seconds left in the game in Hot Springs Arkansas, making Watson Chapel the winner over West Memphis for the Arkansas State Championship. I know that you and I (and especially Sam Wamble) are getting old when I look at things like this. Enjoy it Sam--She will be 50 year old in what will seem like two weeks. Congratulations to Caitlyn---Tell her she now knows what Scrappers felt like in the 'OLD TIMES'.

I am sad to have to tell you that Gennie passed away last night. She was having emergency heart surgery and did not survive.
I am glad to tell you that we had over 51 years together and she now has perfect eyesight and she doesn't hurt anymore. One of her biggest wishes was that she would not have to live alone so I'm happy for that.
We are going over this afternoon to make arrangements at

I just received a call from Virginia Walker, who is Joe Tully's sister. I'm sure you know that Joe Tully class of 53, is the man who put together this Scrapper Web Site and works it every day. Joe had a serious heart attack recently and was at home waiting for surgery to correct the problems he has. Joe had a another heart attack this morning, Sunday, March 2nd. This attack was not as bad as the first one, but he will have to have surgery as soon as they stabilize him. He is on a ventilator now and is in a different hosital in Jonesboro Arkansas than the one he was in last time. I will try to keep you posted on Joe's condition. You can go to www.scrapperalumni.org for updates on his condition. Please keep Joe and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
