Joining the OHS Class of 1958 website.

The 1st 14 items on the Left Side of the Navigation Menu on the Home Page require joining the site to view them. The remaining 12 items are always open to viewing.

We encourage all of our classmates to join other sites as well as stay active on their primary OHS or Permian or Ector site. Within the next several years, many of the OHS and PHS and EHS websites for the 1950's and 1960's will likely have to merge in order to have enough active members to justify the time and effort to maintain the sites. When this occurs, the Classmate Data bases should be easily merged.

To join this OHS site,. go to the website and select "Classmate Profiles" and locate and
click-on your name. Then just complete your profile info or "copy and paste" it from your OHS-PHS-1960.ning.com blog or other information source. Instructions are listed on this site's Home Page.

This is a message from Marlene Roger's daughter.  

As a 70th birthday suprise I am dragging my mom (kicking and screaming) into/onto the internet.  She's been pretty resistant to technology - closed out her email account, has never seen this wonderful OHS site (bless you Ralph Posey for creating such a wonderul collection of memories and access for your classmates), refuses to text - and frowns on texting in her presence (gasp!!), and ... no facebook page -

So, for her birthday - 9 days from now (November 16th) I have created a new email account, a profile on this website and a facebook page.  If you remember my mom then please take a minute to do one or all of the following:

• Send her a birthday card on this site
• Send her a birthday email to her new email account mrlnrgrs@gmail.com
• Friend her on Facebook
• Share pictures with her on Facebook.  I'm not sure how to share pictures, but I did add a few photo albums to get her started.
• If you are into snail mail drop her a card at PO Box 30016 Midland, Texas 79712

Don't expect a response from her right away as the big reveal is not until next week.  Mom and I are attending a 70th birthday mother/daughter three day slumber party in Granbury (starting November 11th) with several of her OHS classmates (Linda Sides, Vera Crawford, Cookie New, Anita Greene Wilhelmi, and Virgie Lou Boyd.  I plan to suprise her with a full email box and profiles here and on facebook!  The gift that keeps on giving -

Richard Porter's World Famous Pecan Pie recipe

I make my own crust but it's getting to be a lost art so if you have to buy one, go ahead.

Ingredients:

Third cup of very soft butter blended with one cup light brown sugar

Add five eggs, one at a time.  Tsp vanilla, quarter tsp salt and one cup white Karo.

Rinse your Karo cup with some very hot water (maybe a tbsp or so and pour into mix.  It makes the pie a little less syrupy sweet. 

Pour into pie shell and pour on top two cups chopped pecans.  Pat them down a bit.  Bake at 350 until the shell is well browned (maybe 45 minutes or so.

This one will impress your Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner guests.

Let me know how it turns out.

Warm regards

Richard Porter
