Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Helon, I had some good times in Abilene back in the early 60's. We used to go up for the Payne-ACC football games. Also visited the Hardin campus when I was a high school junior. Chose Payne though. in Pearland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL well....we might have another one if the biker get-together keeps meeting here too Melody Moris, LeaderTOPS #TX 1454, Pleasantonhttp://www.texastops.org Our Locations Carolyn, I am also new to this group and trying to learn who everyone is. I'm getting lots of good advice here. I was recently elected leader of our chapter and will lead my first meeting this Thursday. We are in Harlingen, Texas. It is as about far south of San as you can get before going over the border into Mexico.{{{Cyber waves from me to }}} Hi ! I lived in ville (okay, about 10 miles out in the country) briefly in 1962.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 , I moved here in 1963 with my 1st husband, who was in the Air Force and have been since. Did go to England for two years but ended up right back here in Abilene. It was close to home, but not to close, I grew up in Fort Worth.
