Mike, I just found this site - thanks for giving us a place to check in and keep up! Class of '74, we were the largest graduating class up to that date (I believe there were 98 of us). I was in band and can remember when the new track was put in and we had to cross it on boards because Coach Mickler didn't want us to damage it with our shoes! I remember the playoffs that year when we went south and the other team with the gigantic kid that they had to sew three jerseys together just to make one for him - and his only job was to fall on you guys and take out as many Rohawks as possible! I remember playing Friendswood in the semi-finals and they were the size of a AAAAA school - I think there were at least a hundred guys on their sidelines. You guys did us proud, thanks for a great ride! Teachers that left an impression: Mr. Pyka, Mr. Bridges, Coach Scott (stirring frog brains before we dissected them and drivers ed - perhaps he has wiped me out of his memory!), Coach Mickler, Coach English, Coach Johnson (I learned a lot about football during health class), Mrs. Whatley, Ms. Scoggin (who gave me a ride to school every day my senior year), Sra. McCorkindale (I have a cairn terrier named Corki) - I could go on.
I still live in Abilene, Tx where my husband retired from the Air Force and all of our children are within reach. I have an 18 month old granddaughter and another granddaughter on the way - they are the joy of our lives. We raised 3 kids to be responsible adults - our son is a college English teacher married to a high school/middle school band director, our middle child is a mom whose husband's job is the web guy/everything media at their church, and the youngest is a high school/middle school band director, the only one not still in Abilene, lives in San Saba, Tx.
Again, thanks to Mike and Johnny for their work is keeping us all connected!
