I would suggest Carl's identity here has been cracked. This does NOT sound like Carl. The lengthy back story is typical of these sorts of scams. Advise to delete the message and move on.

Very sorry to hear about Jeff.

David Kubiak

David Kubiak's sister Shirley just posted on FaceBook that her brother, our dear friend and classmate, David Kubiak has passed away. I have no details. I do know that David had been a dialysis patient for many years and had  never been able to receive a kidney transplant. David was the sweetest, kindest person. I have been so fond of him since we met at South Fort Worth Elementary. We had not remained in touch. I kept up with him through his sister. If I receive any more details, I will let you know. My thoughts and prayers go out to David's family.

Thanks for the news about David.  I remember him too from SFWE.  He used to live up the street from us before both his and our families moved away.  Prayers for his family!

Anyone out there have any clue or info about Lisa Dye?

Richard Seifert

Dear Classmates:

Hello from The Woodlands, Texas......just north of Houston .

Rick Seifert here.  Did you ever think you would live to be 75 ?  I know I did not. It never even occured to me. I thought I would be long gone.  

For most of us, life has taken roads we did not think we would travel. 

For me, flunking myself out of medical school with 1 month to go was a COLOSSAL PERSONAL MELTDOWN. My Mom never got over the fact that she was not going to have a "Doctor Son".  I was not diagnosed as BI-POLAR until years later.  But looking back to medical school....Yes.....I was battling some definite BI-POLAR tendencies which made my behavior erratic. 

However, as I grew older, I realized I had "TO OWN" my mental illness.  Instead of letting it control me, I needed to get help and therapy.  With the help of my wife I was able to "swallow my pride".  Getting therapy was one of the best things I ever did.  (Note: I met my wife, Suzanne, while I was a Senior Medical Student at Texas Medical Center in Houston.  Suzanne was a young cancer nurse working at MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER and I did a Senior Oncology Rotation through ANDERSON.  I met Suzanne and the rest is history !  3 kids and now 8 grandchildren !

Why am I writing this to you ?   Here is the reason:   If you have family members, friends or grandchildren who are struggling possibly with some type of mental illness, HELP IS AVAILABLE.  But we need to REACH OUT FOR HELP.  

I am now a Public Speaker on Mental Illness and the Help which is available.  

If I can assist any of you and/or any of your family members, I would love to do it.  I am not a licensed therapist !  So I will direct you to a good source of mental therapy.  

All the best,

Rick Seifert

Thank you for what you are doing!  I admire you for speaking out on behalf of any form of mental illness and saying it in such a way that all can take heart in knowing there is help available. Congratulations on your successful marriage and your family. 
 

Best Wishes!!

Always wondered what happened to you over the years.  

So glad you are taking your experiences with mental health to the rest of the world.  So many people need help but are afraid to do anything or do not know how to start looking.

Keep up the good work.  Maybe we will see you when we all start turning 80.

Take care of yourself

Van Green

Richard, thank you for sending your message about your life experience. I have found it interesting to read about our class members' lives and experiences and see all the different paths our class has taken. Your path has been difficult, which has resulted in a very positive outcome, one you should be proud of. Forbes recently released a review showing the state of Texas as the worst state in the nation in providing Mental Health services to its citizens. This makes your work all the more important, so thank you for your efforts and your service to fellow Texans.

Richard White

Richard,

We didn't know each other in school, but I want to say that it took some courage to post this.

Well done!

Richard Seifert

Dear Richard White, Van Green, Claudia Latimer Sullivan, Roger Pitts, David Browning, and I know I may be forgetting someone:

THANK YOU for your very kind and encouraging letters and messages,

Richard, I DO remember you.  Thank you so much for your note.  I was such an INTROVERT during my junior high and high school years.  I had a very limited circle of friends........Steve Helm, Gary Jahns, Jim Shaw, David Moore, David Moorman, Baker Peeples, Tommy Gist, Mike Archenhold.

And Rick Selcer and I were good friends during our McClean years. 

Steve Helm became a physician.  A Pediatric Allergist in Tuscooloosa, AL.  And I know GEROGE GREER became a psychiatrist.  Cathy Hurley became an Internal Medicine physician.  

Baker Peeples became a world famous Opera Singer in San Francisco....pretty sure about this. 

I was really saddened by the early passing of Mike Archenhold in Austin and Jim Shaw. Both wonderful people. 

I know I am forgetting classmates to mention. Please forgive me. 

Steve Helm and I attended the 40th REUNION.  It was a good experience.  Just too short a time to talk with everyone.  The first person i saw was RANDY MacFarland ! !  RANDY MAC ! !  He looked just the same as during his Paschal years ! ! 

All the best to each of you. 

In God's Grace,

Rick  (used to be RICHARD SEIFERT but I had the BIG NAME CHANGE when i went to college at BAYLOR !)

Richard White

Rick,

Our paths didn't cross much, Rick (that's what people call me, as well). I knew Steve from the swimming team. I had a class with George Greer -- chemistry with Lou Hudgins, I think (a very memorable teacher). Baker Peeples also, I believe (unless it was English). I found out decades later that David Moorman lived one block over from me.

On a side note, regarding Mr. Hudgins. I'll never forget what he said when, approaching mid-term finals, someone asked him what would be covered on the test. He said, "Everything I said or meant to say." He was a Marine in WWII, as was Bill Allen (the math teacher, not the coach).

Rick Selcer

To all the other Richards-Ricks out there:

I grew up as Ricky (my father was Richard or Dick). His friends use to rub the top of my blond, curly head and say, "Ricky, how are y ou?" I hated it. So sometime about the 6th grade at Tanglewood, I started going by "Rick," which is how I happened to arrive at PHS. I've never looked back, and all my father's friends are long gone. 

During our Paschal days, I knew the other 2 people on this string as "Richard" (Seifert and White). I knew Richard Seifert a long time before Paschal. What I remember most about him is he ran this highly profitable lawn service. I absolutely hated mowing the grass at the Selcer homestead, but I envied his business acumen and the money he made. I sorta kept up with Richard/Rick after he went off to college and was roommates with a longrime friend of mine, Mike Merrill. Mike used to talk about how Richard was "always studyng" when he (Mike) was going out partying almost every night. (Mike and I were the same way back in Ms. Bale's math class at Paschal.) Much to my irritation, he made it out of Ms. Bales' class with an "A" while I barely made it.

The only Rick/Ricky I knew at PHS was Ricky Kriesberg. I may have misspelled his last name. I liked Ricky a lot though I lost track of him after PHS. The only person I kept in touch with after PHS was Mike Merrill who died tragically years later. I still miss him. Mike was always up for a good time. While we were still at PHS, he dubbed us "Dr. Merrill" and "Dr. Selcer" saying we had to think positively. He proved prophetic. 

Thanks for the memories, Rick 1 and Rick 2.  

Richard Seifert

Dear Dr. Rick Selcer:

WOW !  Rick, thank you for that great letter.  Brings back a lot of good memories !

I remember staying at your home in Tanglewood on several nights.  

My Dad and Mom always hoped to live in Tanglewood.  They really liked Tanglewood. Later, Dad and Mom did get their DREAM HOME up on Hildring Dr. W. Solar-heated swimming pool and all the works.   Steve Helm and his family lived on Hildring Dr. W.  

And Elaine Cohen lived on Hildring Dr. E.   As did Sharon Morphis.  I can't believe I remember this. But I do. 

OH BOY !   Mike Merrill !  Mike was SO DARN SMART he hardly had to study.  He could "Hit the Books" a couple days before final exams and do very well.  YES, I did study ALL THE TIME because I PREMED was very difficult.  Of course, Mike was in PREDENT and he was taking most of the same classes.....but he had about 15 to 20 more IQ points than I did. 

God Bless, Mike !  He was a large consumer of alcoholic beverages. But he was so smart he could still make the grades.  Crazy stuff. 

Mike went to Dental School at Texas Medical Center in Houston and I went to Medical School at Texas Medical Center in Houston.  Mike was so smart (Have I mentioned this several times !) that he did very well in Dental School and he went on to be a specialist in Orthodontics.  Only the best dental students get selected to go into Orthodontics or Oral Surgery or Periodontics. 

Jerry Schwartz was there with Mike in Dental School.  And Jerry went on to specialize in Periodontics.

Rick, I am so proud of you that you went on to earn your Ph.D. 

Yes, SEIFERT LAWN SERVICE was the "Brain Storm" of my Dad, BOB SEIFERT.  Dad pushed really hard in the area of MAKING MONEY.  Dad grew up in the Depression.  Money and the ability to make money was everything to BOB SEIFERT.   My brother, Ken, and I were only the "INSTRUMENTS" of Dad's desire for money.  Ken and I were not given a choice.  Dad had us working at 13 (me) and Ken (11).  

Dad turned SEIFERT LAWN SERVICE into his retirement business.  SEIFERT LAWN SERVICE served Fort Worth for 46 years.  Crazy stuff !

Roger Pitts worked in the lawn service.  Ben Robinson, Steve Madsen. And others. 

And Dad had a bunch of TCU students working as Crew Chiefs.

OK.....that is enough from me. 

All the best to each of you,

Rick

Isn't this an interesting place. I made few lasting relationships at Paschal, though it was, for the most part, a happy time for me. Suzy Meek (Studdard) and Gary were friends at a time in my life when I needed friends. Early in this century I reconnected with Lucien Clark and Mike Mitchell. Mike will still talk to me. We were roomates in Pachl dorm at UTA the first half of the fall semester of '68. We both agree what what happens in Pachl stays in Pachl.

In 1973 I went to Disneyland with a shipmate. While standing in line for a ride I heard someone call my name out loud. I turned around and there was Nikki Thompson! We had had no classes together (unless my memory is failing me; a possibility one can never dismiss), and our paths really never crossed, but she recognized me and greeted me warmly. That was an unforgettable moment.

I also bumped into two other classmates who never shared classes with me, though I can't recall their names at this moment. One was on a sidewalk in NYC, and the other was in a parking lot in Dover, Delaware.

Unrelated to this forum, I encountered an actual shipmate while taking my granddaughter rollerskating two weeks ago. He saw my cover (the ball cap in my profile photo) and greeted me as another Navy veteran. When he asked where I had served it came out that we were on the same ship in 1972.

Walt Disney was right. It's a small world, after all.

Shirley Stump (Rasberry)

Are there plans for our 60th reunion??  I missed the last few but so many classmates have passed away, I would like to reunite with those remaining. Let me know how I can help if planning is in process.

Debbie Turner (Monroe)

There are no plans yet but we will be looking in to it next year!

Shirley Stump (Rasberry)

It is with great sadness that I let you know that my BFF since 3rd grade, Patricia Bowen Hundley, passed away. Her celebration of life is scheduled for what would have been her and Stephen's 50th wedding anniversary on July 17.  So so many memories over the past 70 years. I miss her a bunch. I'll post her obituary when I figure out how. Her happy place was the mountains-preferably snow. She loved cats, her husband, daughters and grandchildren. I wish we would have made one more reunion to see everyone.

Oh so sorry to read about Pat. She was a "KALA" sister. She was respected by us all. Pat had such a gentle spirit and a loving heart. Praying for her husband and family.
