Updated 11-12-21 towards the bottom of this story. Updated 10-21-15: I REFUSE to be bombarded by ANY social media to "UPGRADE" in order to see who makes a comment or "REMEMBERS" on this or any other media.....because such media is WHORING their wares for MORE PROFIT than they deserve, let alone a profit they "EARNED" ! ! Am I PISSED? Nah.....ain't seen nothing, YET ! Therefore, anyone reading this can reach me at ONLYBADJUNKMAIL on the gmail side............not a typo.....ONLYBADJUNKMAIL on gmail is correct! Afterwards, I can give you a better email address......... UPDATED: 04 AUG 2013 Re: Cherokee, OK AND Englewood High School To all my Cherokee Elementary School friends who graduated in '63 or so...I STILL CLAIM CHEROKEE AS MY REAL HOME, even though I moved to Colorado in '57 and graduated from Englewood High School in '63. So, you see, I have roots in both places and welcome MOST queries as to how life has treated me and how I accepted what was dished-out and WHAT I refused to accept and made to my own desires and requirements. Life is a B I T C H sometimes, so one has to do what one has to do...GAWD, I HATE cliches, even trying to spell it! ONE THING REALLY BURNING MY BUTT IS ALL THE chinese S H I T being imported! W.T.F.? ! ! I HATE ANY AND ALL ITEMS MADE IN china...mexico, ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY. I will gladly email replies direct to whom wishes such. I OFT wonder what would be NOW, had I remained in Cherokee back in '57. I hope someone can give me a lead as to where Rusty Benson is today and HOPE he is still alive and well. His father was our town doctor and his mother was a nurse, as I recall. THEY were LIFE SAVERS when our mother was so ill. I read where Rusty's little sister passed away... I remember her as a "tot" with red hair, just like Rusty had....I am rambling...so be it! The Wright family had a BIG IMPRESSION on us too! Mrs. Wright was our cub scout "Den Mother"... I remember watching the coronation of that QUEEN LADY PERSONAGE on their black and white TV during a "den meeting".... HOW THE H E L L COULD OUR MOTHER AFFORD for ME to be in Cub Scouts? I KNOW our mother did NOT have that kind of money to spare. I SUSPECT it was Judge and Mrs. Wright who foot the bill. WHOMEVER, THANK YOU! Jack, their son, was a very smart kid! HOWEVER, what with the BSA today being so F V C KING discriminatory, I have little to NO respect for such an organization. HYPOCRITES, THEY ALL! Thanks, Terry D., Dickie M., Patricia M., BILLY E., Patty W., Denny H. .......and other I can't remember who wrote or have forgotten who have contacted me from CHS. Get back to me.... CHEROKEE ! ! It's been some 64 years since I left ! ! FWIW, I miss Cherokee. ENGLEWOOD HIGH: I did NOT get to the EHS 50th reunion in 2013... 53 years is a long time..... I had HOPED Fred P and Myrna might attend... if so, then I would have....only a 20 minute drive, of sorts. YES, I KNOW it would have been great to see SOME former classmates, butt, medical issues and family matters prevented such. NUFF SAID ! AND, just a month ago, April 2016, I found FRED Palmer living in NE, of all places, with his young bride MYRNA and living next door to their grandkids. WOW !!!! UPDATED: 12 JUN 13 I Linked my fb page to here... so now you can see how RADICAL I am regarding LYING POLITICIANS, ATTORNEYS and OTHERS WHO PREY ON WHOMEVER THEY CAN! Oppression by any other name is still wrong, which is what the repUGLYPIGan GOPHERS continually do. IF you really want to know my political beliefs...gimme a shout here! RELUCTANTLY,(because so many CREEPS harvest stories like this to attempt to steal identities) here goes: I moved FROM Cherokee, Oklahoma after 6th grade, after our mother passed, to live with our older sister in COLORADO and have been here in Denver metro since.; my brother Lester went to live with our so-called father, MAY HE REST IN HELL(actually, I KNOW he is there now!). Les lives in the Denver metro area also(DADLY LES PASSED AWAY JULY 1, 2020) AND Our sister Freda, who lived in Enid, passed away just this past August. Our eldest sister Doris lives in AZ with her husband Charles.....they kept me on the str8&narrow till I joined the US NAVY in '65. After graduation from ENGLEWOOD HS, in Colorado, I attended CSC (Colo State Teachers College) which is now UNC (University of Northern Colorado) for two trimesters (RUSTY BENSON called me while I was attending college there: he was attending CU at the same time, unbeknownst to me). I realized college was NOT for me, at that time, so I joined the Navy in '65, at the height of the Vietnam war and became a Hospital...Expand for more
