The recent gatherings of the 1960 & 61 classes (nos. 1 & 2) for their 50th reunions still had a strong Handley "feel" to them.Gushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12743830912124085924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23936398.post-29937961025417652182012-01-23T20:53:08.556+00:002012-01-23T20:53:08.556+00:00On the Meadowbrook players participating at EHHS i...On the Meadowbrook players participating at EHHS in 1959 -- I had a neighbor, Joe Bell, a football player and incoming senior at Poly. He said the Poly coach lobbied pretty hard to retain his good Meadowbrook players. His success rate was inversely proportional to age. Virtually all Seniors "finished up" at Poly, the Juniors were mixed (Morris and McCook switched to EHHS), and the Sophomores virtually all went to EHHS. Makes sense. Bell finished at Poly.cjnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23936398.post-89335859597143879052012-01-23T19:30:46.652+00:002012-01-23T19:30:46.652+00:00I have some thoughts regarding the 1967-1968 mass ...I have some thoughts regarding the 1967-1968 mass exodus of coaches and staff that we knew during our time at EH.

Also, how ironic that Sadler and Davila end up at EHHS, since they killed us in 1962. I think Davila played college at Baylor. I wonder what caused the mass exodus in 1968, if anything, or was it just coincidence?cjnoreply@blogger.com
