Allan Hall Burbage

David and Tuck,

Your latest additions to the '64 site affirm Don Pope's commendation of your work.   Especially with the sad passing of Leneda Kay, the many photos highlighting Leneda were timely and deserved........... and the picture of Susan Elliott doing the Twist will be fodder for many great "good-natured" reminders............. :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!

I am thankful I got to grow up in the company of my fellow Marshall Mavericks '64. 

I am thankful we are planning a time to gather together in the Spring of 2014.

I am thankful Tuck and David have provided this website for us to "gather" in the meantime.

May God bless our Class members, their families and our wonderful country in which we live.

Tuck Kemper

I am grateful for friends ( and foes) who helped to forge my character into the man I am today.  At times, the path was hard, but looking back, I can see God's hand guiding me and ordering my steps.

This website, and the "exercise" of planning get-togethers, has deepened my love and respect for you all.  I read your stories, and am heartened to know that,while our paths may have been different, the common history we all share is something to be cherished.  I'm grateful to have been born and reared in Marshall, Texas, USA.  I also grateful that God gave you all as friends these many years.

This is a tribute to Tuck who has spent the last year, at least, giving his all to the upcoming Reunion and to this website.  I have called him at all times of the day and evening, met him in Hallsville (and tried to in Longview) to pick up information I needed for my "job," and emailed like crazy.  It seems that nothing is beyond his capacity to help.

He has been constantly engaged in the process of making this website and reunion fun, comfortable and casual AND MEMORABLE so we can all get the most out of it.  In addition, he's given great care not to make it prohibitively expensive.

Well done, Tuck!  I can't wait for us to enjoy "our time together."

So true!  Thanks as well to all who worked on the class site or were on the committee.  Your work is appreciated.

Thank you Tuck and all those who have worked so hard on the website and the reunion.  I live so far away that this is the first I have heard about any of my '64 classmates in years.  I was so shocked and saddened to hear so many have passed.  So I have plane ticket in hand and hope to see you all.  I have no family ties in Marshall any more so this will also be a trip to remember the places of my youth.  I am also bringing a large box of tissues for all those tears of joy and those from not so good memories.  Besides I am sick of snow and ice and am ready to see some green grass.

Tuck you have been a great example to us all-- thanks for putting up with me and my craziness--it has really been good for me to reconnect with at least some of my classmates.  I'm sad that I will not be able to attend the reunion. But hope we want waith 10 yrs this time a round--I really believe we should do somthing every five years for as many as could even if it were just a meal and fellowship.  Then on the 10th year have the regular reunion. Might could get  more involved in the planning that way.

I wanted to add another note for both you and David--I have shown things to many of my friends and co-workers and they are very impressed with this site that we have to go to for school memories. You guys have done an awesome job-- I don't use that word to much. So thanks to all your time and hard work in keeping us informed.

Marshall Art League Spring Art Show will be hanging in the Gallery in the Visual Arts Center at the time of our reunion.  I will also have 3 pieces entered in this exhibit. Joining the MAL last year has inspired me to start doing art again, after neglecting it for many years.        Leana York Westergaard

I was just going throug the Memorial page--both at the reunion meeting and today and tears came to my eyes--15 of the friends I was close to during high school  are already gone. This is just the gal friends.  I thank GOD for my good health.   I teach a Sunday School class of 75 to almost 90 yr olds-- so seeing all these sweet ladies have passed on before they reached these ladies ages in my class -- had a little pain in my heart for them and a little smile for how GOD always puts others in your path. GOD has blessed me with many sweet friends and has allowed me to reconnect with some of my past friends--even some that I haven't been close to since grade school. Hope you all enjoy the reunion -- it should be a blast from the past.  Marshall has on her Sunday best for you.

All you precious "children"........I know you will have a wonderful celebration at your 50th class reunion!!  Your "elders" of '63 had our 50th last Fall and it was simply awesome.  I have enjoyed catching up with many of you thru your web pages.  Some of you were in classes with me my senior year and I have never forgotten any of you. Ruth Ann, I hope we girls didn't embarrass you too much when we yelled at you during my 65th birthday party at the Weisman Center.  We were so glad you came upstairs to join us for a few minutes.  I think someone said we had been "invited" not to return to the Weisman Center because we were too noisy.  Ha!  We've been back many times since.  Once again, I wish you all a HAPPY 50TH ANNIVERSARY!  Love,  Bebe Hines Cole

Mr Tuck and committees it looks like it was a success--sorry I had to miss. Glad and proud I was there for my grandson Patrick's graduation--it was beautiful and very heart stirring. heart I that wasn't enough --when we arrived home to the local airport friends and family (prearranged of course) for the proposal of marriage to my granddaughter Trisha. yes All in all a beautiful and memorable week and weekend for this blessed and extremely happy grandmother.

I agree with Dianne --let's don't wait 10 years.

Donna Hall (Liberto)

Being at the reunion would have been better--but seeing the pictures has been the second best thing. Thanks for sharing every one. I have had the best of both worlds --my grandson's Marine Boot Camp graduation and the great pictures from the reunion have made both events a special time in my life.

Susan Musser (Galik)

Thanks to Tuck and David and Dale for the great web site.  Ironic that I didn't graduate with "my" class and I couldn't come to 50th reunion.  I loved the pictures of the reunion and truly wish I could have been there visiting with old friends.  Everyone looked great.  I cried about the  1963 video by Richard Pruitt.  I cried about not being able to come.  But I rejoiced that I heard from people and that I am healthy for now.  I had so much fun growing up in Marshall.  I said that before but I am so thankful that I had the priviledge of knowing the people I did and how much fun we had.  I hope we have another reunion before I drop dead.  Love to everyone, Susie Musser Galik

I called Barbara Bryant (Shaw) yesterday when passing through Nacona, TX. Her husband answered and sadly told me Barbara passed away September 2019 with cancer. So sat that we have lost another class mate. I'm posting the obituary on FB. It's the only way I know to share it.

So great to see everyone at the luncheon today in Jefferson - Even though I was at MHS in the 9th and 10th grades, then dad was sent to Denver, it was super to recognize old friends!  If you see my car around,  know that it's me and please say hello!  (I know, I know - I finally got old enough for my hippie car! - at least it's not the Segway! LOL)

THANK YOU, TUCK!!  For getting us "locals" together in Marshall at Jose Tequila's Mexican restaurant yesterday, August 10, 2023. THANK YOU to all who attended! Especially the "locals" who had some miles to cover to get here.

Great fun seeing everyone - next time we will supply REAL name tags large enough to see - kudos to those who managed to write on the teeny tiny labels we had!

THANK YOU AGAIN, Tuck, for posting and labelling the pix that were taken and sent to you from the luncheon.  I hope you're able to scan in the photos and articles that Mason Chevailler brought and shared with us. Thank you, Mason!

It is wonderful to "time travel" back and remember our younger selves in other eras.

Have a good rest of your summer - and let's get together again -

Dear Classmates, MHS '64 -

Our friend and Reunion Instigator Extraordinaire, Tuck Kemper passed away last night, February 14, 2024, after a long battle with cancer. 

Tuck said recently in a text about attending the Reunion April 19-20, 2024, in Marshall, 

"...I'm gonna do my best to get there.  If I only get there in the "In Memory" section, please tell them all how I loved my classmates and how hard I fought".  

He fought hard.  Thank you, Tuck, for caring for us and shepherding us to have one more "HURRAH!" together.  

Rest in peace, dear friend.

We will miss you...

Classmates of MHS Class of '64

Is there any contact information for administration of the site, I noticed there are no event times for 60th reunion. Please contact Pat Harper: janharper48@gmail.com. thanks

Hey, MHS Classmates of '64--  WE HAVE A TEMPORARY CLASSMATES.com Administrator - just long enough to get us through our 60th Reunion. Jesse Murphy is helping us for now, because his daughter is graciously lending her computer skills to bridge the gap until after the Reunion. AFTER THAT, THERE IS NO ADMINISTRATOR. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE SEEIING THIS WEBSITE THEN PLEASE ASK SOMEONE WITH THE TIME AND COMPUTER SKILLS TO KEEP IT CURRENT. Could that be YOU??   
Please leave a message.   WE NEED YOUR HELP!!   See youi. April!

If anyone attending the reunion would also like to visit Jefferson on Saturday, April 20, and join us for lunch at 12pm, just let my wife Charla know and she will make reservations. Charla Emery, emerytx@yahoo.com or text her at (903)471-7505 (photo by Tui Snider)

Hey, there, Mavs of '64 --  Our Reunion #60 is fast approaching!  Looks like a good gathering of classmates for the weekend of April 19-20.  Thank you, Mickey and Charla Emery for also inviting us to visit Jefferson -- Lots of places to see and visit with friends.

So much fun anticipating arrivals from all over- share your stories, photos, anecdotes and updates. HOW LONG has it been since we last got together??  

If you haven't registered yet,  please scroll down to the 60th Reunion Registration at the left side of this page and send your check to Carol Marshall New -- 

Marshall is beautiful this Spring -- daffodils, redbuds in the woods, green, green grass, dogwood under blue skies.  Rain or shine, East Texas is a good place to be and to be from.  

Call a friend!  Meet up and hug a neck -- it'll do you good!

Safe travels until then-

From the folks on the home-front planning committees

I just saw on the website that Tuck has passed away. I am so sorry for all the pain and suffering that he had to endure. I didn't even know he was sick. I hope someone can step up and take his place. 
I have not been very active on the social media so I'm not someone that could do it but I would not mind helping with anything that I could. 

May he rest in peace.
