Ray,
Good to hear you talk about Al's. I spent lots of good times
there! I
don't if anyone remembers my 1929 Model A Ford (Rena Jo) that
often had
to be pushed. Got lots of attention though from guys who wanted
to
drive it. Then there was the time that Dennis Turnbough and other
Balmorhea boys turned Betty Brown's Volkswagen sideways between
two cars
at Al's with us in it. They finally moved it back so we could get
out!
That was good clean fun! Good memories of good friends and good
times.
I could have lived on Texas Cream Pie from Fosters. I enjoy
reading
through these pages each day and I have been able to communicate
with
many other long, lost friends. Polly Nance, Margie Lucas, and I
were
like the Three Musketeers of Pecos. Now Polly and I are in touch
again. We both still miss Margie.
Thanks again, Peggy! You made my idea come to life and you have
touched
many hearts!

I am sure that I do not need to tell you how much I enjoy reading
this
section each day. Growing up in Pecos was a very nice way too
start a life.
And reading the Pecos Gab is an especially nice way to recall it.
I often
think back to the Pecos that was my home in the 1950's. We did not
have a
Sonic drive in, but we had Al's drive in. We did not have a Wal
Mart; but
we had a Woolworth's and Ben's Spanish Inn. and Fosters'
Restaurant. All
of those structures are now gone, but the friendliness that was
and still
is Pecos, is now very evident in all of the comments which grace
these
pages.
Again I want to remind those ex-students who graduated in 1957 and
are not
already in communications with me to please send me an e-mail or
snail mail
address (that is mailing address or PO Box number to you who do
not speak
computer) and let me know where you are. I would love to hear from
you. I
will respond.
In Christian Love

Thanks for this great Pecos website! It's special to be able to be
in
contact with so many Pecos people and keep up with news from home.
Thank you, Jim Ivy, for sharing this web address.
My name is Jane Davis Phillips, class of 1967, and I live in
Littleton, Colorado, a small town in the south metro Denver area. My
husband, Robert, is a pharmacist with Safeway, and I work part time
for
a mortgage company, after 15 years of teaching school. We have one
daughter, Laura, age 14, who loves to draw and ice skates. She will
be
going to Littleton High School next year.
We want everyone to know that we live very close to the Columbine
High School and are indirectly involved with this tragic situation.
Laura knows students who attend the school and thankfully they are
all
fine. As I shared with family and friends when this all first
happened,
I hope our country sees this a a wake-up call for our kids, families
and
our culture. Although it is snowing outside and the mood is somber,
the
outpouring of help, concern, and love has been tremendous. I hope
the
world sees what good people do when such horrific circumstances
happen.
We must address the hate we see and experience in our culture --we
must
give our children hope for a more meaningful future!
I apologize for bringing this unpleasant news into this space,
but
we are getting calls and e-mail from all over and I want everyone to
know we are fine. Please pray for the students, staff, and families
of
Columbine HS, and for all the students,teachers, and administrators
in
schools today.
'
Colorado is a beautiful state and I am glad we have lived here
for
12 years. Our
e-mail address is ghsme@earthlink.net. We are so glad to be able to
be
in touch with Pecos again!

I read the gab about the drag...in 1979 we wheeled around Sonic.
When I
moved into Southern Indiana 15 years ago, we didn't have a Sonic.
Last year,
they built a couple here in Jeffersonville. I have been there a
couple of
times. However, the Sonic here doesn't have th appeal the Sonic in
Pecos did!
I love hearing from you guys, keep sending me notes!

From: Robert Huckabee bobhuckabee@hotmail.com
Yes Peggy, Martha (Huckabee) Fleming and Becky (Huckabee)
Sawyer are
my sisters. I think you know they both live in Andrews.
Our folks moved to Pecos in 1945. They were: Willis H.
(Bill) and
Florene (Flo) Huckabee. Dad drilled many of the
irrigation water
wells in the Pecos valley and some of the municipal water
supply
wells for Pecos, just to name one of the hats he wore.
Mom owned a
music store, played piano and organ at church and taught
music in our
home and she wore many aprons. They were active in many
things so
Martha, Becky and I had many friends. I guess everyone
in Pecos knew
everyone in Pecos.
It seemed like our house at 2227 So.
Eddy was
always the center of about four social activities at
once, almost 24
hrs a day while we were growing up. It seemed that our
drive-way was
one end of "the drag" and Al's, of course, was the other
end. Today
the six "cousins"; My two kids, Becky's two kids and
Martha's two
kids, still think of Pecos as the home place and we all
remember many
good times and freinds there.

Greetings!! It's been a while since high school and
for me it's been
an adventure.
I found this website recently and decided "What The _ _
_!", I'll see who's
out there in CyberWorld. I live in San Antonio now, and we
have "Fiesta" in
full swing.
The weather out here is awesome year-round and
there's always plenty
of entertainment like the Spurs, Fiesta Texas, Sea World,
minor league hockey
and baseball. There are also annual events such as "Fiesta"
( one constant
party in San Antonio for two weeks).
No, I don't work for the visitors bureau, I just
really like this
town. Since Aug. 1995 I have worked as a Manager for Red
McCombs Automotive
Super Center. I have always been a dedicated Dallas Cowboys
fan and for a
while I have also enjoyed the San Antonio Spurs.
O.K., enough about me, lets here from you!

Thanks!!!! The gab site is terrific! I am Robert Huckabee. I grew up in Pecos and left in 1962. I am enjoying seeing the connections and comments in your website. I still keep up with a few Pecos Pals. I have been in aviation, managing corporate flight departments, aircraft maintenance operations and flying most everything. I've lived in New Mexico, then back to Texas Lubbock, Harlingen, Sinton, Euless, Denton, Dallas, Irving, Sweetwater, Bronte, Ballinger and San Angelo. However, there is no place like Pecos was. That is one reason it is such a thrill to read the mail at Pecos Gab.
I am, at this time, vice president for a non-profit org just started to preserve Fort Chadbourne (a frontier fort established in Coke County Oct. 28, 1852). I think this will be a fun project. I'll bet Mrs. "B" would cringe at the thought of me being involved with anything historical.
Thanks again for the wonderful place to see our friends.

Hi Peggy & Pecos gabpage readers:
I just wanted to say hi and I am still enjoying reading
this page. We
have heard from many old friends, thanks to this forum. I
am changing
our email address (hopefully for the last time) to
martha@mgben.com. I
am about to cancel former the email account I last posted
here, so
hopefully this will intercept any correspondence anyone
plans to send
our way. Anyone can write or Larry & I both here.
We have passed on the word about this web site as we have
come across
Pecos folks. We hope to reunite in person with many old
friends.
Thanks again for the idea and following through with it.
I'm sure it is
a lot of work, but we really do appreciate it.
Look forward to hearing from others.

Hi, My name is Betty (Botello) Williams, I just came across
this section by
accident. I think it's a great idea! I often check out the
Pecos Enterprise
for news of what's going on back home. I moved away 6 years
ago to Columbus
Ohio, I was there last March 1998, Unforntunately for my
father's funeral
(Lupe Botello).I don't get to visit much, but I must say
Pecos has changed!
My mother still resides in good ol' Pecos. My brother Johnny
and sisters
Christina and JoAnn now reside in Monahans Tx. with their
families. I didn't
see anyone on here from the class of 1984, What happened? I
did see my
cousin Roy Botello. Hi Roy! How are you doing out in Florida?
Well if anyone recognizes my name or those of my siblings,
drop me a line.
It's been awhile.
Hope to here from someone, See Ya!
