Hi folks
I just wanted to let anyone,
that was interested, that I had
changed my e-mail address.
My wife and I still live in
Phoenix, Arizona and still
have reasons to get out of bed
in the morning. The weather
is great and if we want to see
snow, we buy a postcard. If
Grace Payne is still there, tell
her I said hi.

Our family lived in Perryton
during the late 50's. Parents--
Ken and Nancy Brooks, worked for
Baker Oil Tools. I have the
greatest memories while living
there-- our house was on Elm
Street across from Sam and Fred
Turner's grandfather. If anyone
knows them, would appreciate
passing this message on to
them-- nobody has friends as
good as they were. Just wish I
could remember my girlfriend's
name! Oh well....
Take care Perryton, a town of
true hospitality! DSB

My mother, Billye Turner, along
with nine siblings, was raised
in Perryton. She left us at the
young age of 77, but she left me
with one thing from Perryton.
All my life played with a set of
glass bears that held the
family's bills, and sat next to
the telephone on our kitchen
counter. When my mother was
quite ill from lung cancer she
told me she wanted me to have
the bears. I asked her where
she got them, and she told me
she had bought them with her
first paycheck (at age
sixteen--1940?), from the little
soda fountain inside the
drugstore. Today I asked my
Aunt Pearl, my mother's sister,
if she remembered the name of
the little drugstore, and she
said it was called Sanford's.
I'd love to have a photo of it
if there is one available. Any
information anyone might have
about Sanford Drugstore, circa
1940, would be wonderful.

I went all through school in
Perryton, I thought it was the
greatest town on earth. It was a
good time to be a kid, a good
time to be alive, and a great
place to be. I've been gone a
long time, but I've always
carried those memories with me.
I'll make it back some day and
renew old friendships. Once a
Ranger, always a Ranger.

I was born in Perryton, TX on
Nov., 19, 1943.
I miss the high plains very
much. Some day I hope to return
at least for a visit. My wife
has not had the experience of
seeing the greatest state!!!

Wow,
Thank you all for voting
overwhelmingly for the McCain/Palin
ticket! Looking at the election
results you voted 92% for us,
that is the highest percentage
in the nation! (I hope you all,
are going to round up that other
8% before the next election. ;)
You should be proud! You are a
shining example of the real,
patriotic America that I want to
live in. Don't believe anything
you read about you being the
"Most Racist County in America"
that is just the liberal elite
media, banging their drum.
Good luck and God bless you,
Sarah

In 1986, I met a couple from
Perryton (JW and Dori Jines) as
they were on the Texas
Sesquincenntenial Wagon Train)
and it was my good fortune to
interview JW and ride with him a
short distance as he and his
mule team went up from Salt
Flats into the Guadalupe Pass
area. I hope to put some of my
clips on YouTube showing Mr.
Jines (if I can get the old
videotape to play) so please
check my YouTube account
"TUUTUUTANGO" for the video in
the next few weeks.
JW was an interesting character
and I very much admired his
spirit and tenacity for making
that trip. He really epitomizes
the character of those folks who
made their way to Texas in
wagons, many -- many years ago.
I spent several decades working
in television and lived briefly
in the Soviet Union working in
television news. Please stay
tuned for my wagon train video
on YouTube.
Never been to Perryton, but been
darned close.

Born in this city September 02,
1938. My father worked for the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad. I remember riding on
a "Doodle Bug" a one rail
passenger/engine railroad unit
between Perryton and Shattuck &
Woodward. We moved to Canadian
when I was very young. I
started elementary at Canadian
when the Santa Fe transferred my
dad(due to his health) to
Flagstaff, Az in 1945. We
witnessed terrible tornadoes
while in Canadian. We were
never struck by one while there
but we could clearly see many of
them, dark and light funnels
from the sky on the horizon
close and far. Higgins, Texas
must have been hit very hard
since U.S. Soldiers were brought
in and guards were everywhere.
I do have very pleasant but
young memories of Perryton.
Would love to visit Perryton now
that I'm retired.

Hello to all in Perryton. I went
to high school there (class of
'89). I sort of miss the small
town feel. I now live in
Amarillo (didn't go too far).It
is nice that I actually see some
people from there (because they
now live here). Go to church
with quite a few that left
Perryton and surrounding areas
and are now living here.
I have a wonderful husband and
two children (a boy 5 and a girl
2).
Good to see that there are so
many people on this site.
Have contacted a few that I went
to school with or worked with.
Hope everyone is having a
wonderful life.

Just heard someone was looking
for me and found out about this
site. I am in Dallas for 2 more
weeks. Just got my Ph.D. in
archaeology from SMU and will be
moving to DC to begin work at
the Smithsonian in October. Hope
everyone in Perryton is doing
well. I haven't been able to get
back since my grandparents
passed away there, and most of
my family has moved away. My
uncle runs the Ellis theater
however, so hopefully will visit
in the next year or so.

Enjoy reading the notes from
those who once lived in Perryton
and the surrounding communities.
I recently moved to Keller, Tx...just
outside of Ft. Worth...about to
retire from UPS and I will
continue to do real estate.
Future plans are big and much
responsibility is
required.....so I retreat back
to the radio station that my Dad
enjoyed...KEYE>
My son, Gabe, lives in Denver,
Co. He hopes to become a Game
Warden......
My brother, Joe Don, lives here
in the DFW area, Allen, Tx. He
has gone country, focusing on
"TEXAS" history. His office has
many items of the history of
Texas...as well as his back
yard.
Good tidings to all and if we do
not see each other here on this
earth, may we meet again in
Heaven.

Hi! I've never visited Perryton,
but my husband has distant
family that lives there. His
great grandfather Buddy LaRue
recently passed away in March
2008. Would anyone be so kind as
to e-mail me a copy of his
obituary? We just now heard that
he passed.

I seem to always miss Perryton
in the summer. I still miss the
way things used to be growing up
there. Despite us moving around
so much growing up, Perryton was
always our home. Still would
like to know if anyone knows
were Chris & Kerry Wolff may
have landed. My sisters still
live in Perryton. Hello Tina and
BJ! Love you both very much. dg

I have enjoyed the information
and history you have on your
website. I was born in Perryton
in 1961, my father at the time
worked for Panhandle Eastern Oil
Co, so where it moved we moved.
I have never had a chance to
come back and see the place of
my birth, but I am planning to.
It would be great if you could
put up a photo album on your
site, they don't have to be
professionally done, have your
residents submit photos new and
old.

I had the pleasure of visiting
your city for a few hours. I
was shocked. Someone needs to
teach you people about the
separation of church and
state! I had heard of the
Bible belt before but never
realized what a true threat it
is to liberty. I will never,
ever set foot in the panhandle
again!

I've had the opportunity to
visit Perryton several times in
the past 6 months. I've lived
in such "small" towns such as
Los Angeles, New York and
Phoenix.... So you can imagine
how new an experience Perryton
is for me. I find the town
enchanting and have met some
very nice individuals. It's a
town with so much potential for
growth, but yet keeping it's
roots still firm. I find the
crime stoppers program to be
very positive and I wish we did
the same in our newspapers here
in Arizona. Thank you to many
I've met there....
