What's this website all about?

This is the new website for the Palestine High School Class of 1967. Its purpose is to continue our communication and to share the events of our lives. Check back often for new pictures, news, and updates.

Check the Reunion 2007 page for a slide show of our recent reunion in Palestine. Add your own pictures to the slide show, as well.

Each PHS 1967 Classmember can have his or her own Personal Page as part of this website. The page is yours (within appropriate limits) to provide a space to keep all of us informed of each other's lives. Please submit pictures and text of any activity, vacation, family event, home, change of job or marital status, community involvement, etc.

While a website cannot take the place of an actual reunion, it can be a means of communicating and sharing our lives with each other that the confusion and briefness of a physical reunion cannot afford us. Let's all participate so that all can share.

Please send any pictures you have to be added to the 2007 Reunion slide show and for you Personal Page to the webmaster. Your comments and suggestions are always welcomed.

With sorrow, we annouce the death of our classmate Cherry Hopper, who died on the last day of 2011. (Her obituary follows...)

Cherry Elaine Massey, of Groesbeck, passed away Saturday, December 31, 2011, at Scott and White Hospital in Temple, on her 63rd. birthday. Burial is in Tennessee Colony Cemetery in Anderson County. Pallbearers were Bobby Recknor, Stuart Wharton, Heath Ervin, Adam Fitte, Shane Masters, and Anson Wilson.
Cherry was born December 31, 1948 in Palestine to A. Q. Hopper and Charles Carrol Hopper. She grew up there and graduated from Palestine High School in 1967, and then attended Nixon Business College and worked in the secretarial field.
Cherry married Billy George Massey on November 28, 1969, at Tennessee Colony. They lived in Palestine, until they moved to Groesbeck in 1972, where he established his veterinary practice.
She made her home in Groesbeck, and was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Groesbeck. Cherry was a 24 hr-7 day help to her husband in his veterinary practice in handling his phone messages at home, as well as helping him at the office. She also worked for a time at Fort Parker State Park, and managed a pawn shop in Waco for a while.
Cherry earlier in life enjoyed hunting and fishing with her family. She was a Yatzee game-playing specialist with her sister, family and friends. She also enjoyed trips to Vegas and loved playing “low-limit” poker, at Vegas, and at home. She loved talking on the phone with friends, and especially enjoyed spoiling her three grandchildren.
Cherry is survived by her husband, Dr. George Massey of Groesbeck; two sons, Anson Massey of Palestine, and Adam Massey and wife Brooke of Pearland; granddaughter, Abbey Massey of Pearland; grandsons, Paul and Dylan Massey of Buda; brother and sister-in-law, Gary and Nelda Hopper of Slocum; and many aunts, uncles, nieces nephews, and cousins, and friends.
