Hey, if you guys want some for Saturday it's a done deal... How about Coffee
Chocolate Truffles? Let me know...

Hey, bring'em! I'll almost eat anything with chocolate. ALMOST!

Prunette says,
If you don't bring' em you're toast.

I don't know what she means, but she was cleaning an automatic rifle.

Does M-16 mean anything to you?

If you understand, great.
If not, you're toast.

Don't be offended please.....Generals64..............I need your help on this one.....

All of us southsiders know about the Czech Cemetery on SW 44th. There's
an NFL football player buried there. Does anyone know who it is?

No, really. There's an NFL player that is buried in that cemetery. I don't
remember his name.

The player was Bob Kalsu, but his body has been moved to Resthaven.

Graduated from Del City. Don't know what year. I would say '63 or '64 (?). Just a guess.

Kalsu was a 64 grad from Del City. Here is a little more info on him.

Anyone remember the big slide that used to sit on the east side of the street, accross from Skate-O-Rama? It was in the early 70's when I went there and you slid down it on burlap sacks.. I think it was right next to where the Pizza Hut is.

ABSOLUTELY!!! I used to LOVE going down that thing...I was maybe 10 years old at the time...It was known as "THE GIANT SLIDE" and you could go up (and down) as many times as your legs could carry you up the stairs. It was awesome.

They used to have a virtual twin to it set up at the state fairgrounds, which was very popular and fun, so of course fair management immediately had it destroyed...

I thought that slide was one in the same over by where the airplanes used to sit.

No, they were both put up at about the same time though....speaking of the airplanes...how did they get those planes to stop that quick on those poles?????

I'm rather surprised. Am I right that he was buried at the Czech Cemetery
on SW 44th?

Where's Resthaven?

104th and South Walker. When the weather gets warmer I go there to take my walks. Few people (living) and no dogs.:kicking:

I have a few relatives buried at Resthaven, it is a really nice cemetary and last I seen it was getting some new storage units!

you know, I understand that just a handful of people are posting on the threads but, there are so many people with memories of their past....Whether they are North or Southsiders......to be amused at what we did as kids and yet to have people enjoy the thread that are the age of our kids....It's really cool...If I knew anything about the Northside of OKC (except some real pretty Girls...One named Keri from N.W. Classen) I'd start a thread....She was a Fox....and was not in the lumber business I don't think....

Why was the other thread shutdown? I have a ball on these that I take part in.

I remember it well and was interviewed by a TV station when I got to the bottom and was on the local news that day. Must have been 68,69 or 1970??
Wish I had a copy of that news clip.

I have a cousin who has Harvey's autograph. Really!

When I first met Harvey he was a complete rabbit. Now nothing left but the head. Those teeth really make it tough to drink from a straw.

Where is everyone??? It's just after midnight!!! Oh Prune! Where U be?

Guess Gregory Peckery and I will get on The Bus. Head down the Inca Roads and see if we can't find us a Jewish Princess or a Catholic Girl............

With this rowdy crowd we need a room to ourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve said he would be there again too. He's done with my yearbooks and is bringing them back. You need to check out the website and see what he did on the Bobby Murcer section, pretty cool. He gave our southside group credit at the bottom of the page.

Great meeting other than having to fight the pigeon's for food.
But the taste and texture reminded us all of our school lunches.

I have just joined OKC Talk and am sure i will enjoy this thread. I think another Spartan is an appropriate addition. In the past I have viewed your conversations and enjoyed your memories. I promise to contribute to memories and always keep a positive outlook towards this group.
