What's New

Happy birthday Bill. How long have you lived in Orlando? I am in Palm Bay. A job brought me here from Ft. Lauderdale, long before retirement. We will probably stay here as long as we are able to care for ourselves. Do you ever film bluegrass? That and motorcycles are my two main activities. Play guitar, sing, and once lead a small local band. That was work. Jamming is all fun. I think you played in Jr. High band when I played 3rd and then 2nd trumpet. I wanted money, so dropped band and threw the Memphis Press-Scimitar first and then the Jackson Sun.

Happy Birthday Jack! May you have many more and stay happy and healthy,
Donnie Williams

Goll-eeeeeeeeeeee gee whiz. Yesterday got away from me and I forgot to send you a birthday greeting. Now I am sending a belated greeting. I hope you had a wonderful birthday and I hope you have many more in the years to come. Here's to health and happiness. See ya in 2024. Tell Jerome I wish the same for him and would love to see him in 2024 also. Take Care, Donnie Williams

A belated Happy Birthday wish from Donnie Williams. May you have many more BD's and stay safe and healthy.

Happy birthday. I hope all is well with you and Hal. I prepared a video for you, but you must use YouTube or Vimeo. I chose Vimeo, which I never used before. The audio is from my multi-tracking audio studio. When I sing along with it and make a video, the voice is slightly out of sync. In other words, don't expect a Hollywood production. Liz is on the washboard. I play bass, guitar and dobro. The banjo track was borrowed from YouTube. So-ooooooo..... Have a wonderful day. You'll never be this young again. Forget the fact that 73 is not the age of a spring chicken. You and Hal celebrate.

The JHS all-class reunion takes place on the first Saturday in June each year and the next one will be on June 1, 2019 at our old JHS building from noon until 5 PM. Everyone invited to come, no charge, no reservation, donations collected at reunion. Visiting with other alumni and teachers, refreshments and a planned program in the auditorium at 2 PM. Program for 2019 will be the musical history of Jackson featuring a video produced by John Reitzammer, JHS class of 1963. Plan to come while the building is still being used as a school and available to us to meet and remember our good ole JHS days.

Here's wishing you a healthy and happy birthday. And may you have many more to come.
Cheers, Donnie Williams

I hope you have a wonderful day. Happy Birthday Joyce.

If anyone wishes to see a Cushman very much like Dickie's, I have added a photo to my photo gallery of a similar model with the same color scheme.

Dickie and I had a common interest in electronics, motorscooters and motorcycles. Tom Elam mentions the Cushman, which I knew really well. I helped Dickie do some major engine work, probably around 1962. Dickie was unusual, to say the least. He used to transmit a sound on his CB (yes, he was a ham and a CB operator) to aggravate people. He called it a Q-Bird and it chirped like a bird. I don't see an attachment symbol in this reply section, so I don't know that I can share what I believe to be a sound much like Dickie's Q-Bird. Another unusual thing Dickie did was purposely interfere with a neighbor's TV using some handheld device with an antenna on it. He would do this at night when he could see the TV through a living room window. Maybe I was as unusual as Dickie in my own way and that is why we were good friends until the last time I saw him at the 40th. It made me sad then to see signs of some mental changes. When he was hospitalized and I heard he did not want visitors, that was even sadder. Now I have mixed emotions. Sad - but relieved at his passing. I am going to try to find a way to share my imatation of Dickie's Q-Bird. ........Donnie
