From the San Angelo Standard Times:
"James “Jim” Gamble, 77, of Junction, died Monday, April 25, 2016. Private services will be held at a later date. Arrangements are by Shaffer Funeral Home/Sherwood Way.
Survivors include his sons, Kevin Gamble of Kerrville, Darron Gamble of Rosenburgand and David Gamble of New Mexico; daughters Penny Elaine Stewart of Junction and Kelly Scioneaux of Junction; brother Robert Gamble of San Bernard; sister Wanda Binder of Ballinger."
JUNE HASH CURRY continues to improve after knee replacement surgery. This week she said that she is able to walk on her knee without pain now. Thanks for all the prayers. JUNE said she knows they helped.
GLENN SMITH, who was in a nursing/rehab facility in Ballinger recovering from surgery on his broken leg, is now at home. He indicated he was not happy at all while in the nursing home, and says it feels great to be home at last.
NANCY has always been one to "be there" for others when illness or worse happened in a family. Her favorite dish to make enough to share is chicken spaghetti. Once made, she makes the rounds of anyone she knows is in need. It would be nice if others return the favor so she will be spared a lot of cooking in the first few weeks of Jake's recovery. NANCY, I wish I lived close. However, nothing I cook compares to your spaghetti! (Even using your "recipe"). Small towns are known for their coming together in times of crises.

NANCY THOMPSON BAKER is relieved that hubby Jake is finally home. He was dismissed from the hospital last weekend, and spent the first full day home tending to paperwork that had piled up. NANCY spent so much of her time with him at hospitals in San Angelo and Ballinger, she barely had time to tend to her aching feet! She says that they are finally healing from the plantar fasciitis. Now, with the assistance of home health, her wifely duties include keeping track of the 17 medications Jake is on, as well as remembering to take her own.

All of this healing is noted under "good stuff" happening. Let me hear from you if you have more.

Jimmy and Delbert Lancaster were each running filling stations in Ballinger when I returned from school. I don't know what became of Delbert, but Jimmy moved before long, and eventually spent at least several years as Chief of Police in Junction.
ReplyDeleteThis must be the Delbert Lancaster you spoke of.. He was born the same year as I, so he was either in our class or the one behind..

Marilyn, Thank you very much for the notice on Jimmy. He and Barbara were real close friends to Betty and me. My memories are many.
ReplyDeleteHe was also police chief at Junction at the time I operated the lumber yard there. I recall the last time that I visited with him.
Take care of yourself,we never know,do we? Just be ready, I suppose.
