Hello everyone , So happy to see some of my high school friends! Class of '66.  

Greetings fellow Amarilloans! I am the son of the Late Claudine Brown Jackson Chatman, who was a 1956 graduate of Carver. She married her high school sweatheart the late Collis Wayne Jackson, who was the football captain, while she was the drum majorette and band sweetheart. She went on to graduate twice from Prarie View A&M, like her mentor Mrs. Mayes, and returned to teach Home Economics at Carver in the late 60's just like her mentor. She later took a teaching position in Cleveland, Ohio, and finished out her life and career here. She passed in September of 2013 and as a courtesy to me, the Amarillo Globe ran a short editorial on her in mid September. I noticed she is not listed in your memorial list of former students or teachers, but wanted you to know that she so enjoyed coming to the reunions every two years until she could no longer. Here is a link to her FindaGrave.com obituary: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=120179479 Thank You for keeping the rich legacy of what I consider to be Amarillo's Premier African American institution alive! Forever a Golden Dragon offspring!  

Ray, thank you for giving me this opportunity to share what's in my heart. I love getting to know others in this community through their heartfelt and inspiring stories. Goooooooooooo Dragons! ( and Geckos too.)

Gm to you Dragon Nation may God conntinue to Bless you and your familes...
