School Reunion
When is the Brownfield High School reunion?
My maiden name is Neugent. As a family we moved to Brownfield, from
Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1945. The Irland Faught family moved from Oklahoma
in the 30's. My husband went to school in Union,Texas. Billy went
into the Army in 1952, and retired at 24 years of active duty. Billy
and I married in Brownfield in 1957. We have 6 children to our union
and 17 grandchildren. We are now living in a small community named
Lexington,Oklahoma.
I have many memories of the brown clouds forming, which demanded
we get the clothes off the clothesline and tie down any lose things
that may be blown away. Walking home from school with a thin headscarf
over our heads to keep the sand out of our eyes. We weren't allowed
to wear blue jeans those day's. So, the sand would beat against
the back of our legs. During very cold days, we were allowed to
wear blue Jeans under our dresses. My, how things have changed.
Bill is now 74, I am 68. Thanks - Vera Neugent Faught, May 10,
2006
