Class of '71 Directory        Class of '71 Memorials

We received a note from Dr. Tim Jones this week, pointing out that we had mistakenly put his photo, with Butch Karatzou's name, on the Class of '71 Memorials page.

We just hate it when that happens!

On the up side, he was also kind enough to tell us about his interesting work with the Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology, at the University of Arizona.


For the last decade, he has been conducting a very interesting study on how much food is thrown away or wasted in the US, with some amazing results.

According to Tim's research, a shocking 40 to 50 per cent of all food ready for harvest never gets eaten.  Each year food stores and restaurants throw out approximately 27 million tons (or $30 billion) of edible food.  He estimates an average family of four currently tosses out $590 per year, just in meat, fruits, vegetables and grain products. Nationwide, household food waste alone adds up to $43 billion.

Here are a couple of interviews available online about his study:

David Warburton

David Warburton recently retired from Owasso Public Schools after 25 years of service to that community.
 
As you may recall, David was a basketball and baseball Varsity letterman during the years he was enrolled at Hale. 
 
After graduation, David signed with the Houston Astros baseball organization as a pitcher, he played ball with the Astros farm teams in Florida and in West Virginia for 2 years. 
He was traded to Milwaukee and played with that club's farm teams for 1 year. He suffered an injury to his pitching arm common to pitchers in those days, and was forced to make a decision of surgery and/or steroid injections or go home.  Dave made the choice and came home. 

I would like to note, that now days peewee baseball players start with tee ball and coach pitch baseball.  It has been found that pitching too young, too early, can damage a pitcher's arm later in life, something that was not known when he started playing baseball in the early 1960s.   

 
Dave attended and graduated from the University of Tulsa.  He helped Coach Shell with the TU baseball program while he was there.  After graduation, he moved to Oklahoma City and was a teacher for Oklahoma City Public Schools - Capitol Hill High School. 
 
Dave became aware of an opening at Owasso Public Schools.  He applied and in the mean time was married. He and his wife, Starlene, moved to Tulsa, and he started his 25 year career at Owasso as the Pitching Coach of the Owasso Rams.   
 
Even though Dave has retired from Owasso Public Schools his love of baseball has taken him to a new school with a new Baseball Program as Head Baseball Coach at Cascia Hall in Tulsa. 
 
Dave's dream of making it to the New York Yankees never came to pass, but his love for the sport has helped him to mold young minds and baseball players his whole life.  Most of this was devoted to baseball, but Dave also teaches Sociology, Oklahoma History, US History and World History.  In addition, he was an assistant football coach at Owasso, and will be an assistant football coach at Cascia Hall.

DAVID WARBURTON TAKES OVER AT CASCIA HALL

Long-time time pitching coach, David Warburton, will leave Owasso after 24 years to become the head coach of Cascia Hall High School in Tulsa.

 

Warburton had a great career at Owasso and influenced the lives and careers of countless players. Numerous pitchers have continued their careers in college and the professional ranks under his tutelage. Dallas Trahern (Tigers) and Mark Roberts (Padres) are presently pitching in the minors with 2006 graduate, Chris Armstrong, currently in negotiations with the Angels.

 

Owasso wishes Coach Warburton all the best in his new adventure. It was a great run “Wavy.” Good luck and God Bless.

 

excerpt from earlier Owasso Rambler newspaper story: When [Brent] McConnell (Hale '73) came [to Owasso], he rejoined David Warburton, with whom he had been teammates at Nathan Hale High School in Tulsa.  Warburton had been at Owasso since 1983, the year Turner took over head coaching duties from Spencer.

 

Leading the Owasso Rams baseball program to success over the years are colleagues and friends Brent McConnell, Hale '73, Head Coach Larry Turner, Steve Holleman and David Warburton, Hale '71.

We found Frank Brown and the FB3 (Frank Brown Trio) backing up Rebecca Ungerman at Lola's on the Bowery for the Jimmy Strader Benefit on Feb 21, 2006.  He and the trio are there on a regular basis with Rebecca.  Check out his web site for some music samples and other places you can find them playing these days.    www.FrankBrownTrio.com

 

Major General Jerry Grizzle

I just retired from the Army with over 33 years of service.  I have had both an active duty and a National Guard career.  I was fortunate enough to retire as a 2-star General.

~excerpts from Major General Grizzle's resume - MG Grizzle’s military career began in 1971.  He was commissioned as an infantry officer upon completion of Federal Officer Candidate School in 1972.  Prior to this assignment, MG Grizzle served

as Commander of the 90th Troop Command (Oklahoma Army National Guard); Commander of the 45th Infantry Brigade (Oklahoma Army National Guard); and Deputy State Area Commander of the Oklahoma National Guard. 

While Deputy Commander of the 45th Infantry Brigade, he participated in the security effort following the April 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.  Most recently, MG Grizzle served as Vice Director for Joint Training at U.S. Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Va., while additionally serving as Vice Commander of the Joint Warfighting Center in Suffolk, Va.

When asked what he would do after such a long military career, he wrote, that among other options, he is being considered to be the Executive Director of the Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism, in Oklahoma City.

More detailed information is available on the Rangers in the Military page.
