This is the place were we are going to put all the announcements and Eagle Brag items. If any ole Eagle has anything they want to put on the bulletin board send it to us via Email or the Comments section of the Sign-In form and we will see that it gets posted. However, we are reserving the right to do a little editing on the item in case Lake Worth happens to be listening in (a local joke). For now we will let the item stay on the bulletin board for a week or two before cleaning it off.

Attention Graduates.......

Gregg Bursey '73 says, "In case you have not heard, CHS will be classified as a recognized High School when the results are published in July.  Out of 13 High Schools in Fort Worth, only Pascal, Tech, and CHS have reached this goal. A big congrats to Ms. Sanchez and the faculty for raising the performance level and a job well done."

Carter Riverside Band has their own Webpage

Gregg Bursey aslo says that the Carter Riverside Band has their own Webpage.  Check it out at http://www.crhsband.org .  The school has their own web page too of a sorts.  But, it appears that it never got finished.  The URL for the high school web page is.......

 http://schools.fwisd.org/carterriverside/Pages/Default.aspx  I would personally like to see the resume's of the teachers like was shown for the Principal and VP's.

Football Tunnel Project

In case you have forgotten, the Alumni Association added the Football Tunnel to their list of projects last year.  The Tunnel's first public appearance was at the homecoming game last year.  We are told that the cost of this edifice was in the neighborhood of $6500 and paid for by Allen Coskrey '82 a staunch alumni to get it built and on the field.  The Alumni Association is now trying to raise money to help pay Allen back.  They are also trying to raise more money for recognition of the Band.  For the last two years in a row, the Band has been rated Division 1 in UIL competition.

If you have any loose shekels in your pocket, how about a tax deductible donation to the Alumni Association at

Hague Lindsay's Remembrances

My name is Robert Lindsay grandson of Hague Lindsay. Wanted any stories or info on my grandfather days as principal. I remember him taking us to the school and opening the gym.  Speaking through the intercom and hitting the sound board in the office. We came during the summer and remember the school being hot inside. Thanks for sharing any info.

Send any remembrances to Robert at rlin1@sbcglobal.net

Maria Sanchez of Carter-Riverside High School has been selected at the state level as the Texas Art Education Association (TAEA) Outstanding Principal of the Year.

 "This is a state award and worthy of praise," says Beverly Fletcher, director of art education and herself an honoree at last night's school board meeting. Mary Boswell is the outstanding art teacher at Carter-Riverside.

Notice

I am trying to formulate a list of all CHS graduates from 1937 to the present time.  I already have copies of graduation programs and other lists up to the class of 1984.  Therefore, I am looking for graduation programs for 1985 and above.  If you have one of these old programs in your archives, would you mind scanning a decent and readable copy of it and sending it to me at herb-pat@verizon.net

Thanks

Class of '80 It's Your Time

The 30 year reunion for the Class of 1980 is approaching.  The date has been set for September 25, 2010.  For ticket information and location, please contact Kristi Weaver Bonner @kristi.bonner@sbcglobal.net.

We need to start locating as many people as we can.  Since we didn’t have a 25 yr. reunion, it’s basically like starting from scratch.  If you have any information on classmates (preferably email) please send it to kristi.bonner@sbcglobal.net.  We welcome anyone that would like to help with this.  As most of you know, there’s a lot of work involved.  Check the Reunion Info page for information as it comes in.

Likes the Idea of a CHS Alumni Museum

Harry Stoorza '67 says that he likes the idea of a museum.  It could be school and community oriented.  Surely there are building owners with space that could be used.  Money will be needed and since he has spent his career raising money in the church.  Would be happy to help form a non profit corp. and start working up a building program.  If any others out there are motivated call him at, 832-366-0123.

High School Web Page Under Construction

The high school is working on a web page for the students and interested parties.  If I'm not mistaken a young lady by the name of Janice Baty is working on this project.  Janice is a teacher at the school, but not sure what she teaches.  The link to the page is

 http://schools.fortworthisd.net/education/school/school.php?sectionid=111

Don't forget that this page is under development so she has a long way to go yet, but I think she has done a real fine job.  It will be nice to see a picture and bio sketch of all the teachers.

Anyone Remember Briley Jones '46 ??

My father was a 1946 graduate of Carter Riverside named Briley Jones.  As previously reported to your organization, my dad died in 1998 after a long illness. I am looking for anyone who would have known him well in high school, junior high, or elementary school.

My dad became completely disabled in August, 1965, shortly after I was born. He had very limited speech, was paralyzed, and died in a VA Hospital where he resided for over 30 years. Even though I knew my dad
well as a disabled man, because of his disabilities, I know very little about him as a healthy man. If you could pass my contact information on to any Carter Riverside alumni who may remember him or his family, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

If anyone has some knowledge on how to get in touch with these folks, contact Gerda at marsh_gerda@yahoo.com

More Hob-Knobbing
(1/15/2010)

Mike Fleetwood, class of 1969 brushing shoulders with the King of the Circuit, Richard Petty at Petty Enterprises in Randleman, NC. Mike said that he spent two days with Richard Petty and has to admit that he's one of the nicest guys that he's ever had the pleasure to meet and do business with. "This was a great trip and I'll never forget the time that I spent with the 'King' of NASCAR. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Petty Enterprises."

Sam Shortes '53 is shown here in the Oval Office with President Reagan during his last year in office.  Sam is presenting the President with an engraved and gold inlaid Bowie knife and Colt-Walker pistol (in Presidents left hand).  These items are presently on display in Reagan's Presidential Library.  The same knife is on display in the Alamo museum and another one was owned by Actor John Wayne.  The theme of the engraving was the "Alamo." The engravings  on both sides of the Bowie Knife are of final assault. Reagan had some dozen pieces ---mostly Colts and Winchesters -- starting back when he was Governor of California.  Sam has also engraved some things for George H. Bush before he became president.

Food For Thought...While Looking Thru The Annual
from Robert McKibben '56
(1/15/2010)

Makes me sad. So many gone. Yet, so many did good, beyond any concept that I may of had. Lawyers, FBI agents, US Marshals, Soldiers, Preachers, Educators, Homemakers, Entrepreneurs, Doctors, Nurses, Ranchers, Actors, Architects, Engineers, Scientists, Bankers, Cowboys, Cowgirls, Builders. Aggies, tea sippers, Frogs, Red Raiders, Fightin' Irish, Sooners, Rams, Huskers, Eagles, Bears, Cougars, UTA Rebels, and many other colleges plus the Military.

Yep, Carter Riverside should be Proud of the wonderful students that graced it's Halls since 1937 or 38 when it was allowed to "educate" the kids from "Riverside".  I am Thankful that I was allowed the opportunity to attend the best high school in Fort Worth.

Dang! It was a wonderful experience growin' up in Riverside.
