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.

site for some music samples and other places you can find them playing
these days.

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.
