"After years and years
of saying "I'll NEVER teach
school!!" guess who's teaching high school history, and creative
writing, and drama (who knew?), and economics (even tho' it has MATH in
it!), and government. I've been teaching at a small Christian
school
in Poetry, TX for the last 3 years and am currently looking for another
venue for my talents -- one that can afford to pay a living wage.
I
have three grown children: John, who has MS and lives in Florida; Beth,
a Licensed Professional Counselor
living here in Terrell and custodian of my 2 grandsons; and
Michael, an Army medic who is en route, with his family, to Germany for
3 years - taking with him, despite both my and her other grandmother's
offers to keep her, my only granddaughter. I live with an aging Great
Dane and 4 cats, am active in the Episcopal church and in my garden,
and am as content as I have been in my life. Look forward to seeing all
you guys at the next event that's on dry land." (posted

"From
1959 to 1969 I participated on expeditions in Mexico, Central and South
America, the Carribean, and the South Pacific, pursuing my interests in
geology, paleontology and archeology. During the mid- to late-
1960s I worked at the Smithsonian and Carnegie Institution, while
studying geology at American University and Johns Hopkins
University. In 1966 I met Judy Carr from Seattle and in
1968 we were married in Washington D.C. We soon were blessed with
two
daughters, Justine and Spring, who now live in
New York City and San Francisco respectively.
"From 1971 to 1978, we lived in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia, from which I conducted explorations in Ethiopia’s infamous
Afar
Depression, which lies at the southern end of the Red Sea and the
northern
end of the East African Rift. There I discovered a number of
fossil
sites that have produced a stream of early human ancestors dating to
nearly
six million years old, and perhaps the oldest stone tools known dating
to at least 2.5 million years.
"Following the overthrow of Emperor Haile
Selassie in 1974, my family and I lived through four years of a Marxist
military dictatorship. We returned to the U.S. in late 1978 and settled
in Austin, where I am a research fellow with the Vertebrate
Paleontology
Laboratory at the University of Texas."

" Many years later, I owned the same kind
of plane -- about the same age. Looking back over my log books,
it seems I took just about everyone up flying in that little bird [including
I.M. Pei]. If you're an old timer in CRS, for sure you flew
with me. Most CRS brass, Rice faculty and students did. I
recall flying Frank Kelley (then a student at Rice -- April 1964 --he's
now a fine Houston Architect) to photograph the rice fields west of
Houston. From the air, they're pure art. To give Frank a
better view, I pulled the canopy back, like an open seater. Quite
exciting. He liked this. But when I stood the plane up on
its wing for him to shoot straight down, that he didn't like!
Lost his cookies all over my beautiful plane! Had to fly it
through a rain shower to clean it off. Better than a car wash."

" I have an Adjunct Faculty
position at Austin Community College. I teach in the Computer
Science department. They have asked me Fall 2000 and Spring 2001
to teach full-time for them with the pay, but not the benefits. I
like that. I recently interviewed for a full-time faculty
position there. I will also apply at other local colleges.
I'm taking online courses from the University of Maryland University
College. It's wonderful! I'll have 18 graduate hours in CS
by August, 2001. That gives me better credentials in many
ways. I'm also slowly building the equipment, people, and network
to begin my own database consulting business. It's on hold (or
extreme slow-down) while I hustle in my courses (3 this semester and 2
this summer). I think I like being in charge of my time and
efforts. I enjoy getting free copies
of CS books (I read lots of them). I'm just a learner at heart."

ago. Sold farm, and retired from flying, and now do mission work
in Honduras on the Mesquitia Coast. For several years now I
have helped support a missionary and his family down there and each
year I take teams of men down to create water systems for the
villages of Mosquitia Indians in Honduras. Our primary mission is to
put water systems in each village and hand pumps
at individual huts when possible. Some of our mission work
is described at our web
site. Also included are medical teams when available,
and of course we support existing churches. Anyone interested in
going down with me later this year, or next, can get in touch with

After Lamar graduation in 1959, I
attended Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX for a year, and
finished at University of Houston. I went to Washington, D.C. in
1962-65 to work for U.S. Senator Ralph Yarborough, (D-Texas) and
switched parties to work for U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater, (R-Arizona)
where I was his personal secretary and also when he ran for U.S.
Presidency in 1964. Also, I worked for the National Republican
Committee in Washington, D.C. I met and married Raymond H. Bass, Jr.,
from California, who worked as a Special Assistant for U.S. Senator
John Tower (R-Texas) in Washington, D.C. in 1964. We moved back to
Houston in 1965, after the Presidential election, where I worked for
Philanthropist Gus Wortham. Then, in 1969, I formed my own talent
booking agency licensed by the Musicians Union
Local 65, and teamed with Bob Smith Orchestras in the Warwick Hotel in
Houston, under the name of Cynthia Bass Entertainment Agency. I booked
and managed many big name celebrities and stars all over the USA in
concerts,
posh hotels, and clubs for over 10 years. After divorcing Raymond Bass
in 1971, I met and married a famous International
Singer/Colombia Recording artist named Victor Fausto Morales. We have
been married
30 years now. We are both ordained ministers.. God has blessed me with
the greatest blessings of all.....a wonderful and loving husband,
Victor, and 4 beautiful children of my own, Jennifer Bass Smith, (38);
Trey
Bass (35); Luke Morales (22); Felicia Morales (18); and 3 beautiful
grandchildren - Christian and Bailey Bass (twins- 4 years old) and
Jamie
Smith (2). My life has been so fulfilled. I can't thank GOD
enough
for this great life that HE has allowed me to live for him to bring
HOPE
to so many. GOD BLESS YOU ALL! (April 2004)

Bass-Morales with an orphan at Christmas time.
In 1977, I became a "Born -Again"
Christian, and completely turned my life around having a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ and serving Him. In 1978, my
husband, Victor Morales, followed suit, dedicating his life and
heart to serve a Risen Savior. In that same year, 1978, we formed an
Evangellistic Ministry to reach hurting people all over the world
with the message of HOPE in JESUS CHRIST. In 1982, we formed an IRS
non-profit organization (Non-denominational), Victor Morales
Ministries, Inc./"Bridge of Love".
We help feed, clothe, and minister to many orphanages
(hundreds of orphans) and abandoned children of Mexico, and also
thousands of very poor families and hungry children along the border
areas of Texas/Mexico all year.

I have enjoyed life in
Washington DC since 1972 when my husband and I moved here, I to teach,
he, to work in architectural preservation. Now, a widow, I still
thrive on the excitement of Washington politics, arts and museums, and
sports - though cable TV gets most of my money because of my addiction
to the Rockets and Astros! …I must be a masochist!...Surely Roger will
break the spell.
I am in Houston often for most holidays to see my
wonderful mother and dad who still live in the house we bought
when I was a senior at Lamar (Betsy and Bette always said I lived
“across the tracks”!) and to watch my nephew set 9th Pole Vault
records at Memorial High School! I am a VERY biased aunt!
My life has been blessed by a wonderful, smart, handsome son and a
career as a teacher. I have loved every minute teaching high
school kids about the power of language, the thrill of writing a piece
that “satisfies” the writer and moves another person, the joy of
reading a book that introduces other worlds or new ideas. I have
been fortunate to be involved in many areas of staff development so
that I have spent almost as much time working with teachers as I have
spent working with students. I served as an English department
chairperson in a high school of three thousand students and now am
finishing my career in a “second chance” alternative school of three
hundred…a job which turns me gray and keeps me young at the same time.
I spend time reading, traveling, taking photographs, writing poetry,
following baseball and basketball, and loving music.
I am sorry I will not be at the 45th Reunion to see how young and
beautiful everyone looks! (April

Mendell, Wendell
Wendell’s Life (provided 2002)
After I graduated in 1959, I attended the California Institute of
Technology (CalTech). I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Physics in
1963. The vast majority of graduates were going to Grad School,
but my GPA was not very robust. I began looking for a job.
IBM recruited
all CalTech graduates and I got an offer. However, my mother
wrote tearful letters urging me to leave the evil California and come
home. My Aunt Aileen knew a person in HR in the new NASA
installation and could get me a job. I ended up working at the
new Manned Spacecraft Center (that had not yet been built) in a group
collecting information about the Moon for use by engineers designing
the Apollo spacecraft. Note that I said ‘collecting information’
rather than ‘studying’ or ‘researching’. The group had some Ph.D.
members but could not be called a research organization.
The intellectual environment at MSC was a stark contrast to CalTech,
and I began exhibiting withdrawal symptoms. In 1965, I wangled a
one-year NASA fellowship to get a Masters degree. Most people who
entered the program went to Univ. Houston or even as far away as Texas
A&M. I broke tradition by enrolling at UCLA.
When I returned home for Christmas vacation with Beatle-length hair, my
father marched me to his barber to ‘get it trimmed’.
(The barber assured him it was not as long as some bikers.) When
I returned in June, 1966, with my Masters in Physics, I also brought
back a fiance - a Canadian nurse / United Airlines stewardess. My
parents were taken aback by her, and she went into long-term culture
shock.
We married, had 2 children (now ages 35 and 31), and parted ways 12
years later. When we were pregnant with the first child
(daughter), we went to hear Andy Warhol somewhere over in Montrose.
I was struck by how different people in the audience looked and
immediately began to grow a beard, which I still have. Upon
seeing me for the first time, my mother ran from the room crying,
talking about murderers.
During my first marriage, I enrolled at Rice part-time in a Ph.D.
program, paid for by NASA. The organization I worked for had
morphed into a real research group. [The finding of possible
evidence of life in a meteorite from Mars
was made by some of my long-time colleagues.] When my second
child (son) was born, I was studying for Orals. I eventually
wrote and defended a Thesis on an experiment flown to the Moon aboard
Apollo 17.
In 1986, I married a ‘spinster’ 11 years my junior. She had a
mathematics degree from Ohio State and had worked in Houston for IBM on
the Space Shuttle navigation system for 12 years since her graduation.
We are still married and have 2 children, ages 10 and 6.
She still works for IBM, and I still work for NASA. June,
2002, will mark 39 years.
On my 60th birthday - December 31 - I cut off my Beatle-length hair for
a buzz-cut. It will be my coiffure for the next
35 years. Then we will see. |

Warehouse heading up wine, and learned more information about
the almighty grape than I ever knew existed. Now the bronze,
Grecian body, which lies beneath this façade, gets its grueling

Tommy
Tune
(nine time Tony winner, and graduate of the Class of 1957)
was featured in kicking off a fundraising campaign by performing at
Lamar High school on February 12, 2004. Funds raised were used to
benefit the renovation of our school's auditorium, which was newly
dedicated as the Ruth R. Denny
Auditorium. You can still contribute or even dedicate a
chair with your name in the auditorium. For additional
information on this and other events, go to the website www.lamarhsalumni.com

If
men can run the world, why can't they
stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by
tying a little noose around your neck?
