My e-mail is samc@redriverok.com Yes, I had a brother James, he was called Junior Cottrell in about the 5th grade, a sister Pansy in about the 7th grade and a sister Mary in the 12 grade. I can remember some moore's in school, if I remember there was one just a grade under me. There were two sets of Parkers there, one was a Supt. and the others teachers. A Dickey, and some I would remember if I heard their name. What was your maiden name? The old school house has been gone for several years. I just happened to be going by while they were tearing down the school and stopped & asked permission to have the first grade pencil sharpener and they let me have it, in which I still have. They still have a school reunion every 3 years in Waurika. I have attended some of them. I get a notice from them. I graduated from the Ryan High School but I have been in contact with several people that attended the Claypool. In fact a good friend from there called me last Aug. and asked if I would be a pollabearer for his mother, I told him yes, it would be an honor. Just remembered the girls name, Phyllis Moore. I have one or two school annuels some where. I live just outside of Durant, Okla. now, I still know a lot of the older generations down there. Thanks for the reply,
