S. F. Austin Class of '57

Sad to report that Richard Andrews passed away Thursday, February 16.  Services will be held at 11 A.M., Monday, February 20 at Settegast Kopf Sugarland.

To all classmates: It’s a new year and we are working to complete the new Class of ’57 Blogsite. This means we must de-activate the old “Dreambook” software and introduce you to making “POSTS” on the new site. Every entry that you saw in the old Dreambook is considered a “post” on the new site.

If my memory is correct this first week of December would have been Larrys 73rd birthday. I think 7th,8th,or 9th. I still think about my buddy all the time and I feel others of you do also. Good health to all of you and your families.Happy Holiday’s.See ya.

Hi everyone.

These last few days have been a little rough for me as I remember the second anniversary of Larry’s death. I thought it was the ninth. I then remembered where I was and what I was doing when Hugo called and told me the news.

As it turned out my wife and her mother and father and myself were returning from the Texas MUSIC Hall OF FAME in Carthage. This was on the fifth. I hope I have it correct. I do remember it was around the first week of July. Sorry about the confusion it happens after you have had a stroke.This will be a day that sticks in our memory. To me it is like the Kennedy assassination and Elvis death. As I have written in other posts I really miss the trips to the country and sitting, walking or riding on his four wheel Gator discussing old times or current events. As I believe you could put Larry in a room full of doctors or a room full of common laborers and he would have knowledge of them and any and everything in between. As for Larry’s wit, look and read the captions on the 50th reunion photos. What a genius.

I will always miss you buddy and think of you often.
