Many of our classmates have had careers in writing. David Baxter was on the staff of Texas Parks and
Wildlife magazine for 27 years, serving as its editor and publisher for 20 years. He opened its pages to the
work of photographers such as Wyman Meinzer and Laurence Parent and to the writing of icons such as
John Graves. Through them, he says that he came to know and understand a small portion of the Texas
outdoors. As Graves wrote in the magazine's 50th anniversary issue, "...the Texas outdoors is a vast
resource with room for everyone; all she asks is a little respect from those of us who venture forth."
Thanks, David, for producing a beautiful publication that has guided many of us through the state on
vacations.

Bill Mayhall and his wife Cheron live in Port Townsend,
Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula. Cheron has
recently completed a book that tells the story of the death
of their young son and their journey through grief and
loss to healing and a positive and hopeful life. The story
is told in parallels; one story is that of Bill and Cheron,
the other is that of their delightful son watching from
heaven. Filled with humor, insight, and joy, The Bridge is
Love: A Journey Through Grief to Joy After the Death of
a Child by Cheron Joy Mayhall can be reviewed and
ordered at www.trafford.com\05-1239.

For laughs, merchandise, music samples, a new CD, and wonderful
pictures of our favorite diva, go to TinaMack.com, the Web site of Tina
McGaughey. You can order mugs, t-shirts, and bumper stickers (yes,
even with Tina's picture on them); listen to excerpts from her Broadway
show (well, maybe NYC hasn't discovered it yet); and keep up with what
Tina's been doing since she left Austin in '62.
In her other life, Tina has been teaching writing courses at ACC. The
summer 2007 program targeted at risk high school graduates who will
enter college next fall.

We extend our sympathy to the families and friends of our classmates who have died.

travel, and, his pride and joy, his 1948 Nash Ambassador. Richard "Kinky" Friedman tells us what he's
doing now and promotes sales of his own salsa to benefit the Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch.
