Oh my gosh; I was just talking to my younger sister, Marchel (Stephanie), I mentioned to her that this article had ran in the Globe News; she said that you may remember her guy friend Robert (Bob) Rushing, he went a couple of years before Shawn. I will definitely mention this to my sisters; they would be more than happy to look into this. Yes my father is still kicking in Amarillo, his 70th birthday is this Friday; my parents divorced in 1982, my mother lives in Maine with Shawn and her husband Gene Glover, Sherri lives in Comanche Texas with her husband Clint White, Marchel lives in Amarillo with my father and his wife of 25 years off of Grand, Marchel is not married now.
Marchel was wondering what happened with the female PE teacher, for the life of me I can not remember her name.
Do you keep in tough with any of the students and have you heard of any that has passed on?
I would love to keep in tough, write back when you get a chance. Oh and by the way I would never say that my father would not allow you to paddle me, I would much rather had received a paddle from you than from him; plus detention hour took time out of hanging out with the boys.
Thank You,
Lisa Nesteby
My note:
I sure do remember you. In fact, Melody (Dubois) Waggoner was asking about you (or maybe about Sherri) the other day. We live close by and see each other at least once a month. And we e-mail each other almost daily. Were you the one that said that I could not give you swats, that your Dad would not allow it??? It was so funny to me, especially since I always gave offenders a choice of swats or detention. You were such a fiesty little thing. Great memories of you. I remember Shawn and Sherri too (maybe Sherri was the one that said that about the swats). Where are your sisters now? I hope you tell them to visit the blog and leave comments. We'd love to hear from them. I saw Shawn in Lubbock for awhile (maybe the early 80's) when she was married (forgot to who). Seemed like a nice guy. Are they still together? Give the girls my e-mail. Maybe they'll write to me. Love to hear from them. And you too, of course.
My wife and I live in Mulvane Ks but we are trying to sell our home and move back to Texas (Fort Worth area). More to follow on that subject.
How is your dad? I hope he is still around. He was not that much older than me.
How did you hear about the blog? We've been trying to get the word out. Any help you can give us is great. We need a lot of participants to keep the site interesting.
Tell your daughters thanks for their service to our country. We can't thank our soldiers enough for what they do.
Stay in touch. I love hearing from you.
Jake

You were probably one of my favorite teachers; my father was a recruiter in the US Army who use to give you Army pens all the time (Ernest Head), you taught my sisters Shawn Head & Sherri Head and of coarse myself. I remember that you use to live on Bell near Plains. I was reading the blogs this afternoon during my lunch hour, notice that Dan Johnson had passed, he too was one of my favorite teachers as was Mr. Hainey (Wood Shop).
I have been married to my husband for 25 years, he is from Minnesota; we have 2 beautiful daughters, our oldest is married to a soldier in the US Army (Military Police), our youngest daughter is stationed in Baghdad in the US Army (Military Police). We now live in Brooklyn Park Minnesota (just north of Minneapolis).

Yes, I taught @ Sam Houston from 1973 to 1978. I taught Science, Health, and one PE class. I remember several Lisa's, all of which were very special to me. Which one are you, if any of the one's I knew?
Anxiously awaiting your reply.
