Featured Classmate



Mike Neace is now serving as a model in New York.
1965 Lobo Senior Prophecy


Mike IS serving as a model, but not in New York or New Jersey or New Mexico or New Anywhere.



From a recent PhotoShoot we find Mike modeling the latest look in 'GuysWhoReDo'...Cars...that is!

That's right...All those hours spent in 'Auto Mechanics' at MHS has lead to
Mike's Old is New Again Car Restoration.

In this PhotoShoot, Mike models a Red Corvette Convertible ReDo. After the restoration from top to bottom is done, Mike sells the cars to collectors via EBay and Car Collector Contacts.

Here are a few photos of the cars Mike has restored.




















The Newest TopModel in the Neace Family is Grandson Jake. He's modeling the latest in Proud Grandmothers...His GrandVicki.

Mike and Vicki reside in San Angelo, Texas. They own Neace Financial Group. Their daughter Kristin and husband are also MHS Graduates and reside in San Angelo, and that's a 'GoodThing for Grandparents'.

Mike and Vicki are the Directors of the '65er Golf Tourney.

ReunionForty-Five Senior Open...FORE '65er's




FORE!!!! That's Right.....This is Your HeadsUp.....On the '65er Reunion Golf Tournament!
Gotta Golf Game? Nada Golf Game? Makes No Difference!
Handicap a 4 or 104...Makes No Difference!

Standing at Par 4...Hole #4...
Tournament Director...Mike Neace
Wants YOU with your 'Gotta or Nada Game'

To SignUp for the MHS Class of 1965 Tournament at
QuickSand Golf Course
.



Rumor has it that 'The Dream Team'...winners of the 40th Reunion Tournament...are at least FOUR years older and that should add 4 strokes apiece to their score. So DreamOnYouFour...Your FourTrophys Days are Numbered.



To See More Pictures of the 40th Reunion Golf Tournament....Click Here. Then on the '1965 40thReunion Pictures.


QuickSand is a Spectacular West Texas Golf Course. If you're used to Golfing in West Texas you'll feel right at home among the Mesquites and Cactus. If you're used to Golfing anywhere else but West Texas, you'll feel right at home with the Grassy Fairways and GreenGreens. You will want to have a few extra Golf Balls if you're a Hooker or Slicer....The Rough is potential RattleSnakeRough. No Problem....You'll have a Team Mate or Two or Three. Surely one of them plays FairwayGolf.

Blaines Pub...'65'er's TakeToTables

Blaine's Pub
Bar of Your Dreams
The history of Blaine's Pub is about like any other story told from a bar stool.
Some things nobody remembers for sure, some things everybody remembers for sure but differently than any body else does.
Some things just never really happened even though there's pictures!
But here goes the long-story-short version.......
Click Blaine's Pub to enter their website and the rest of the story.
Be Sure To Come Back....

Not only does Blaine's Pub have a San Angelo History...It has a major tie to the MHS Class of 1965!


Recognize this 'TableTopper'? It's our own Maggie Welch Brown!
Maggie and husband Steve Brown bought Blaine's Pub in 2008.















Sara Flores Gilbert gives this report..."Rumor has it that Maggie Welch Brown was out on the town at San Angelo's Blaine's Pub...Dancing on the Tables. (Rumor confirmed with these pictures.) There she was 'Totally out of Control'! I jumped up there on the Table and got her down.....she was having toooooo much fun! After saving her from a 'WildNCrazy Crowd'...She jumped back on the table and started Dancing Again!" So, Sara.....If You Can't LickEm...JoinEm? Right? Right!

After seeing Maggie and Sara in action...SuKnitWitty...MHS SandStorm Reporter, decided to check out Blaine's Pub and get the 'RealScoop' on the Maggie/Sara Incident. It didn't make the SanAngelo Standard Times....I checked the Archives.

Meet Don Baker, Class of 1965 Lakeview High School, San Angelo, Texas.

'Baker' caught me taking pictures outside about 10 o'clock in the morning. He's the DayShift Bartender/Janitor/BPub Historian/DoItAll Guy. I was kinda GRIT (GirlRaisedInTexas) embarrassed about being caught RedCameraHanded....the Bad Manner Thingy. 'Baker' was a real TexasGent, even after I Flashed him in the face as he opened the front door. He asked if I'd like to come inside and take pictures....had that 'WhathaHell is SheAbout Look'...but, like I said, he was a real TexasGent.

I Stepped in and....Well.....Here YaAre...Blaine's Pub...Bar of Your Dreams!

Meet JimmyDon Cox...Class of 1969 Lakeview High School, San Angelo, TX. JimmyDon is a 'Local/Regular' at Blaine's Pub. Now, JimmyDon is also a BPub Historian....you see...He's been doin bizness at that very table with some of the 'Big Names' whose pictures cover every wall. Why, Heck, Shugar, his picture is right up there too....right next to Willie's.....daughter. So he must be a celebrity, too. I was thinkin "Ohoooo, SuKnitWitty, you have hit the CrackerJackPot. Sure enough....JimmyDon is a celebrity. His website JimmyDonCox, Western Artist is a place you gotta visit. Not only is he a Cowboy Artist, he's a RealTexasLegend. Seriously, don't miss a visit to his website. Maybe he'll be around Blaine's during the Reunion....Ya'll will really enjoy meeting JimmyDon Cox.

Speaking of Willie...There he is...'BiggerNDallas'. 'Baker' shared some of Blaine's History BeforeTheBrowns...all very colorful and interesting...all right there on the Walls of Blaine's Pub. Course, I was all ears about the History AfterTheBrowns....ReporterInstincts FlatTookOver my GRIT GoodManners. "So, Baker," I said, "Are there any pictures of Maggie & Steve as the NewOwners on the Wall?" "Nope", he said....."But...around here someplace are some pictures of Maggie and Sara Dancing on the Table." JACKPOT.....confirmed....The Maggie/Sara Incident! I quizzed a bit further, but Baker was not TellinAll....he's such a TexasGent.....of course....he's a '65er.

PS...I'm PurtySure 'TheTable' I sat and visited with JimmyDon and Baker is the One.

RibRecipe#6...ExtraSpiceySauce


Welcome Back To SuKnitWitty's ScrapBag RibAlong!
Are Your RibsDone? Were they FingerLickin Good?
Are You Ready for XtraSpicey Sauce?
As you can see I SpicedUp my ScrapColorScheme since we started the first set of Ribs!
What Else?
Glad you asked...Before we get to the XtraSpiceyStuff...
Let's do the TopBandRibRows. Altho, not a TrueRib Pattern, it looks kinda Ribbish, don't you think? It's called ...



Three-and-One Tweed from

A Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G. Walker.

I DID A SWATCH!!!...lime and hot pink. It's HOT, huh? Real SpicyStuff! I suggest you do a Swatch, too. It's a pretty EZ 4Row-2Color Pattern with a more dense feel.
Let's Get You Goin!
#1....StitchUp ONE SideSeam #2...PickUp Stitches off WasteYarn across BagBack or (Stitches of CastOn Edge) #3...Remove WasteYarn #4...Knit or Purl (depending on which side you finished last row of #5Ribs) to be ready to start 3-l Tweed on RIGHT Side.







*Repeat These 4Rows ThreeTimes for 1 1/4 inches.
*Leave Stitches on Circulars...StitchUp SideSeam...Knit 2 Rows in the Round.

I did an I-Cord BindOff....A New Thingy for Me. You may BindOff however you choose. Here is the I-Cord BindOff. *Knit 1, slip 1 (knit-wise), Knit 1, pass over slip stitch, return the 2 stitches from RIGHT needle to LEFT needle and repeat from * (adjust tension of stitch after it is returned to Right needle). Very Cool look for the top of your ScrapBag.

TA-DA!!!!! YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE KNITTING PART OF THE SCRAP-BAG RIB-A-LONG! If you want to SpiceItUp here are some Samples using Novelty Yarns, FunFur and Ribbon Yarns. You can weave, wrap, tie, crochet etc.....Get Creative!!!!


It's Been Really Fun CookinRibs with Ya! I'm Full.....filled with RibKnitting! So, Keep on CookinNKnittin, and next time you have a BagOsCraps.....make a ScrapBag.

PS...What About Straps??? I'm Thinkin 'Tunisan (Afghan) Crochet' attached inside on the seams. What About Lining??? Yeah, I probably will...I need pockets...My 3-1 TweedSwatch would make a Cool Pocket on the Back! What will you do? When you Finish...Take Pics...Post on Your Blog or Ravelry...Let me know via Comment...I wanna See Yours!
