Unusual activity @ Shelli & Leslie Barnes' old house...

7/20/08: I noticed some unusual activity going on, last Wednesday morning, at the house that Leslie & Shelli Barnes grew up in, so I grabbed my camera and took a few pictures and a video clip. 

I'm sure that there are many of you who will remember spending time at the Barnes' house during your school years, so I couldn’t resist putting it all together into this 2-1/2 minute clip [.wmv format] – complete with background music.

UPDATED 7/21/08:Congratulations to Dan and Shelli Barnes-Bates! Their daughter, Faith, was the 1st Runner Up in the 2008 Miss Texas Pageant.  Faith won several preliminary contests during the pageant including the Swimsuit and Talent Competitions.

In September, 2007, Faith made pageant history; becoming the first Miss Hunt County Texas titleholder, in the history of the local pageant, to claim the crown on two separate occasions.

Visit www.FaithBates.com for more info and photos from her most recent competition.

Ed Note: We recently received updated contact info from Randy Pierce, which reminded me to take a look back to see if I could find the Tulsa World articles from when he was shot, trying to serve a warrant, back in 1998. 

I didn't know Randy, but I remembered how much it upset my Mom and sister, Judi Moon '81, when they heard the news.  Randy was one of the kids that used to hang out at our house after school a lot.

Curtis Franklin writes:  The trip down memory lane is fantastic !!! Thank you so much you guys for the great site. I have enjoyed showing it to my youngest daughter.  By the way I am 43 yrs old.  I was a deputy sheriff for Tulsa County for 15 yrs and an Okmulgee police officer for 4 yrs. I have since been forced to retire after having 5 bypass heart surgery. I have 3 girls and two boys and I live in Okmulgee. It has been my understanding that the class of 79 did not have enough interest for a reunion in the upcoming future. I hope this is not true !!!! I had a wonderful time at our last reunion. Anyway thanks again for a wonderful site ...man talk about memories of growing up !!!!!
