Beau Wann, Jr.

    Whoever the classmate is, GOD KNOWS...Who am I that should received any of Gods Grace, or my classmates prayers?    We are all God creations, all loved and cared for no matter to what depths or troubles we have sunk to....I have no doubt about overcoming this insignigicant obstactacle, one way or another.  I view it as a wakeup call from God..."Hey,  get over life, become a part of thee love of just being one of my creations, like a sunrise or sunset, or cold frosty morning, red red cardinals playing round your door..."   I am blessed beyond all belief and then some.

     Talked to the neurosugion yesterday, in person, not just his office, and he said they still dont know what type cancer it is, so they have sent the biopsy to MD Anderson and the Mayo lab.  One thing he said for certain was that it iminated FROM THE BRAIN, which does not happen.  Well, doc, we're not talking about a mere mortal here, we're taling about me,  a guy that can drive his lawn mower into a swiming pool,  then chunk all the garden implaments in after it to try to retrieve it    ,that sort of guy.   One that can continuously fill the sink with hot water andd soap suds to do the ddishes and walk away from it and let it overflow, time ater time.   Forutately one side of the sink is lower so that it doesnt actally flow on the f loor, but get it time.

    /watcged abiter sunrise this morning listing t o the bay of a little beagle on the trail of an imagingary rabit. I think I'm gonng to have to change her mane to Rosemary!   She keeps going into our 4x4x4 foot rosemary plant,k chasing rabbits, or mice or crickets or whatever, and gets right in the middle of it and just wallers about so that when she comes in, she reeks to high heaven of rosemary.  Of course there's worse smells, and i love the smell of rosemary, smells medicinal.   You have to be careful cooking with it though, b ecause it is so powerful, you dont want it to overpower  the mainest dish.

      i have a recepie for FIRE HOUSE MEATLOAF,  that calls for Rosemary, and it is good, but strong. 

     Got another glorious day planned for today...my beloved will chaufuer me about this county and others should we venterr therre.  Might go down to Firemans Park in Brenham and ride the carrosel and just walk about, visit the LIBRARY, you know, that sort of good stuff.   There is also an F111 Ardvarrk down there on loan from I guess the F111 ardvarrk library.  I't's cool.  If I have to go to MD Anderson, that'd be the way to travel, mach 2.?.   Of course the take off and landing would be a corncern, eh what.

     You know, back to God,  God never promised the the road and journey wouldnt be bumpy,  but he did promise us a SMOOTH LANDING, sealed in he blood of Christ.

    Speaining of bumpy roads,  my younges son and his wife have a couple of restaaurants in Katy area, and one week before Christmas, dont know which one, but one of those weeks,  he was cleaningg a drain by a steam table, and as luck would have it, and she pretty much has it her way, (is luck Burgerking?) anyway, the steamtable collapesed with Kevin under it which rendered 1st 2nd and 3rd degree burns from the hot gumbo and water and butter all over 105 degrees etc.  How he did not go into shock, I have no idea!  Drove himself to the ER where they rendered ER type servvices, then he went home. 

     Never uttereed one complaint or oath against his unforuntate endeveavor, just sent me pictures, whidh I just about went into shock.   The 3rd degree burn was on his right arm, and the lesser ones on should and  back and leg etc.   He came over a few days afterwards and we had a cigar and adult beverage and I hurt for him.   He has spent time, dont know how much time, but time in a hperberibc chammer, (100% O2).   He opts for natual healing whenever possible.   Thre are barely any scars showing at aall.   Plus his faith in God put in over the top and wheree he needs to be, which is anywhere but under a stean table, unquote!

      If there were ever any doubt whethere Texas Borders soups and gumbos were hot enough, that has  been dispelled.

     Ok, going to go soak my head, literaalyy.  Sure having a hard time typing this morning, well not to worry, gonna go ejnoy the glorious sun and beauty of Gods whirld.

Keep the sun shining on ya and the Son sjhining in ya and " ride boldly ride...:

This is a powerful message from you, Beau  I'm going to suggest you get a second opinion from The Medical Center of our Houston homeland, if you haven't done so already.  I'm not a big believer of the Brazos Valley physicians.  They are good, but not the best.  I have confronted them several times in my 25 yrs here.  They like to think they are, But that big ole Texas Brain and Spine Center hasn't passed my old judgemental mind. 

I am praying for our ole buddy, you have lightened my mind and emotional load for the last ten years.  I will never forget our Brenham lunch trip and your pictures of the Men's bathroom. I really like ya'lls company, you and Diane make everyone feel special.  Prayers, prayers, prayers, we've all had enough this year.

Beau, if you drive yourself again.  I can meet you in Navasota, you park your truck and jump into my car and I can take you the rest of the way and back to Navasota.  You can relax, stay unstressed for 70 miles.  Hee, hee.

Beau Wann, Jr.

     Hey Kay, Dr Tousanit offive and Dr Bains office are settingg up appontments for 2nd oppions, as we speak, and at their suggestion.   Stapples come out Wed, then gonna hit 2nd tumor with radiation whilst we drive into Md anderson.   Whatever happens, I know that after talking to all the docs and PA involves, they have my best interest at the forfront. " If God is for me, who can be against me!"

    To add a chapter to my sons Kevins ordeal, he and his wife have a house in Peurto Vallarta where they are vacation as I type this.  It right on he beach and he send me sunrise and sunset pictures everyday, even videos the ocean waves so I can see and hear them. Good son he, lucky me...

Tom Britton '65

Daily lifting you up in my prayers,  Beau.

Love your posts. Keep 'em coming, my friend.

Kay Watters '65 (Greene)

Great, Beau, of course, you have the 2nd opinion at the Big H!

20 yrs ago I had an older friend who experienced a medical emergency  St. Joes wanted to operate on his heart, had him in ICU with a monitor on his heart, that they said showed horrible problems overnight, saying they would have to operate immediately,  He was retired from Dow Chemical and had great ins. They had just opened their Heart wing.  Well, he told them he was walking out against their objections, they told him he wouldn't make it home.  He caled me at work to come get him, that his son was meeting us at his home and would drive him to the Medical center in H.  Had a doctor waiting for the 2nd opinion, St Joes said even if he had an ambulance he wouldn't make it and if he wanted a 2nd opinion he would have to get it here in the Brazos Valley.  His son drove him and Houston Drs (needed his earlier heart CD results, which I was able to get and brought to the Med Center in Houston).  Diagnosis, no operation, his heart had already made alternate arterties to correct.  I've had a few other stories to tell.   They overdosed my son during the period of the horrible accident ,his fellow officers and I thought Todd wasnodding and just sleepy, so we left,(I remained outside his room so he wouldn't be disturbed by the many well-wishers,suddenly they came rushing past me into his room and corrected it at the last moment.  During the sam hospitalization, their physical therapy team went into his wife's room, pushed too hard on his wife's hip after she her surgery, even though she complained your breaking it, they pushed and broke it again, more surgery.  I personally avoid St Joes unless it's minor.

These are stories I wish not to tell, but I feel appropriate to reveal.

Carole Gunter (Snell) (Jenkins)

Beau, Although I don't often post, I read eerything on the site and have been keeping up with your saga.  Praying that God will comfort you and Diane in these trying days.   I will never forget the sheer terror we felt after John got his diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer in 2002.  He was diagnosed in the local hospital in New Braunfels and they immediately recommended that we go to M.D. Anderson.   Although it was a bit inconvenient, we never regretted that move and I sincerely believe they gave him at least 4 more years than he would have had under local care.

Beau Wann, Jr.

     Thank you Carole for your thoughts and prayers and support.  I'm sorry for the loss of John, and that my stuff  made you have to relive or remember any unpleasantness.   Gonna see my primary care doc Mon, whose quick action led to the discovery of the leisions.  Then the fast acting decision of the ER doc and that contacted oncology docs and then got the neurosergeon involved,k and all on Monday night and Tuesday morn, in less that 24 hours, then to have brain surgery just 3 days later and on a new years eve, and for it all to turn out as well as it did.  Now all the docs are working with MD anderson and the Mayo lab for some 2nd opinions.   I feel like everyone has and is doing everything humanly possible to solve and fix the problem.  I FEEL SO BLESSED.

     Just like "Scrooge" said, "I have no right to feel this good..."   I'm really ok with everything that's transpired, of course would be ok if it hadnt, but I bear no bitterness, no grudge, no anger. It' brought my family just that much closer togerther, and me closer to you all my friends, and to God.  Is this tragic?  No! If I were a 10 year old, yes, if I were a 29 year old beautuful young teacher, full of life and promise, tragic for sure, but I'm 75 and live a full productiv e life, done some wrong, done some good,  and hope to do some more good.

     I'm looking forward to another "PARTY ON THE HILL",, or party somewhere. 

Looks like it's suppose to snow tomorrow, yea !   It snowed here in 17, but Diane missed it because her mom had a stroke so she had to be in Houston for a couple weeks, but I took pictures.  She'll be here tomorrow for sure.  We were thinking about attending church tomorrow, but our road will be just horrible and for sure 290 with be crowded and dangerous with slick surface, so we will than k God from our hill.

     Only supposed to get to 41 tomorrow and precipitate all day, so not going anywhere except further down in the covers with a couple of dogs and cat and of course Diane.

    Had pancakes ttoday, "grainberry" pancakes, developed by Tex A&M of course.  so much better for you, so they say.   Dont know what we'll have for breakfast tomorrow, Diane already fixed biscuits and gravy and grits on Friday,  Blessed beyond all belief for sure.

     I hope that I can help someone out in a crisis, or have helped someone out along the way, "we only pass this way but once"....my debt to "mankind" has accrued interest, time for me to repay my "student loan", we are all just students here on Earth U.

Beau Wann, Jr.

    HEY KIDS, WHAT TIME IS IT???  It's get out in the snow and play, yaaaaaaaa...snowing up here in the chapparonadics...me and the dogs goonna play int it , yeah,, that's the tickwert...

Beau Wann, Jr.

     Well well well, thought you' d heard the last of me eh?   Snow is nice, but, man wwhen it turnes to slush, you kneed some koolaide to go with it.   Thes slush is the nastyiest stuff since mudd, and now it's mixed whith mud, go figgure.

     I've had a revalation, a brain revalation, I've thought long and hard over the corse of three quarters centery and I think I've finally settled on a creeerer, yup I'm gonna apply for "brain sergery school".  Spelling it shouldntt be a prerequesite shouldd it?  Anywhay, I've now have experience in the brain surgery department, about 3 hours whorth, and I know what your thingking, "yo idkjit, your were asleept".  That should work out to my advbantage becuse I slep0t through mostt of my shoolking any way. So see there, was goes roung comes round. 

    And who  better qualified than one that ccan work on ones own bnraing, and I've a goot supply of staples alreadly, even though they're used.   When the dog removes thme wesdnesdya, I'll just have him put in a zipper, or some velvro, yeah, that's thicdk ticket.   Just think houw I'll be recevieved by my professers when I show up with my own brain.   I'll be the hit of the parade.    See, there's always an upside to stuff.

   Whenn like give you brain surgery, become a lemon! ! ! !  When I got home from my braineckemy, some pictures had fallen off the wall.  you think I want missed at home?   I used those 3m stickem on the wall and dont have nail holes, crap.   you dont have nail holes alright, you get broken glass and frames instead.  I would send those idjits a criticallly bad email, cept I cant find their email address.   

     Yup, brain surgeron extrodanaire, that be me!  oF CORurse I could start up the band again, and change the mane to "the brainiacs", and, widh my slur, I can sing Louie Louie just the original moron did, ha, I love it when a plan comes togethere.  

    Anyone want to buy an 05 Harley?   How bout an 89 Jeep Wrangler, and that one comes with 2 sets of tires.  I figgure my MC days are over, with the threat of seizures looming in the wings.  That's not good to have a ziezures whilst wrigding a MC, and my Jeep has a 5 sppeed transmision, and my coordination between left clutch foot and right hand shifting seems to be suspect.  oh, that shouldnt hinder my brain surgery garreer,  I can do that asleep with my eyes closed.    I am so gifted, sometimes I just amaze myself. 

    Ok, I want a show of hands, not yet, wait till I;ve told what I want a show of hand for, ok! ! ! ! See, now I've forgetten...I rally want to tank God for my wake up call. Opportunities like this dont often come around as often as opportunites like this.   Ok, my battery has run down so it's time to deplane boss, deplane...

    you been a wonderful test groop, so please stop by the xanadu to hafve your parking passes validated. and you also get brain stamped, a duck stamp,  and a years supply of stapples. 

Keep the sun at your six and the son in your heart and "ride boldy ride..." with a sense of humor

Mary Weidner (Williams)

Beau,  I rarely post but I always read the forum. I like to read your posts! You have a gift for writing and I don't know how you could have anything wrong with your brain the way you mistype words to get your point across! Know that sometimes we just don't know whose lives we impact! I am praying for you and your continued "great brain" activity! When you have that next get together in the country, I will be there to re-meet you!! I don't know if our paths ever crossed in school! Thank you again for your posts and remember we are all getting up in years and have "issues". You are not alone!

Beau Wann, Jr.

     Hey Mary, thank you for your words of incouragement. I hope we get to re-meet.   I actually think that I've been given a great gift. However this plays out, I've led a rich full life, got to be a part of the best years growing up, and the greastest class, and one of the best neighborhoods, OAK FOREST, my "MAYBERRY".

    Saw my GP todeay and he is absoulutely best of the best, as good at it gets.  He said he is gonna "quarterback" for me, make sure everyone is doing what needs to be done.  We also heard from MD Anderson today, and they've started the ball rolling there.  My GP and all my doc has access to ALL files from Baylor Scott, and MD Anderson, and the Mayo Clinic.   I have the best of the best and then some.

    We had about an inch or so of snow, while it is beautiful, is is just a sea of mud now.  We took Dianes car , the millium falcon, and it is just covered with mud.  If I were aa good husband, I get off my lazy arse and wash it.  But as good husbands go, I'm a slacker!

    Ok, get out your Northern Tool Hymnalls and turn to page 304 in the cornstrution section.   I cannot believe I dont have one of those, WACKER NEUSOME...with a name like that, it's a must have.   "Cant go to the store now dear, gotta get out my WACKER NEUMSOME AND do some wackens".

    Got to a high of 41 here today, post to get sown to 27 tonight maybe.  Sure lookingg foreard tor fom sun, duh, well who isnt, right?  I dont know how the people up noth cope with months and months of this weather, no wonder they are all deranged...

     Had visits from Paige and Richard on Saturday, and from my eldest son and his wife on Sunday.   Needed the human contact, but it comes at a price, exhaustion!   But thankfully there is a cure for that, NAPS ! ! ! 

      I think Diane and I will start planning a "Party on the Hill" for early spring.   Since it will be outside, and masks will be prevalent, and hand sanitizer, we all should be safe.  Maybe limit hugs and such.  Maybe we'll start the planning, or maybe just thingk about it for a while. Yeah, we'll think about it for a while, that's the ticket.

      Ok, time to deplane and get on another plane, tha bed, so keep the sun at your six and "ride boldly ride..."

Paige took this picture of my girsl Izzydorable and Dixie Belle and me Saturday Jan 9, 2021.  Hard to believe you get such good quality from a telephone.  Can you believe that whichever dirtbag that owned these  two beautiful creatures just abandoned them???  Dixie Belle was left att a gas station in College Statiion till my grandson rescueed her and Diane pick her up from him.  And Izzydorable, the beable was left doen in the creek, her owners just moved away and left her.   Shame of people like t hat, but good for the pups and us.

Sandi Schlesinger (Stark)

What an awesome picture of you and the dogs - it looks very professional. Paige did a good job capturing the beauty of the subjects and the surroundings. Guess I shouldn't be surprised that your dogs would be so cooperative. Just a fantastic picture. Thanks for sharing. 

Beau Wann, Jr.

     Thank yuou Sandi.  I just love my critters.  Speaking of which, Goot a dog on each side of me, one at my feet and my kitty,   Little Miss in my lap.  Thousgh of youse that watched BICENTENIAL MAN, know that's where I got the name from.   I picked t hat one out because that characthor was sweet and gentle and kind...which desdribeds my kittly to a T.   As long as I an sitting down or laying down, she is in my arms,  no  greater love...

    Be leaving for CS and the neurosergeons office in a few minutes so he can look my head over and prossibley remove the staples. Dont to remove them prematurely. Been told horror stories by this preson sand that person and the pain.  Why do folks want to do that?  Just the fact that I have in my head, and t hey have to be removed is painful enough without having to relived EVERYONE esles pain.

     Well, it is what it is, so whevter happens will happen...turst in the lord, so I shall, so I shall. 

    Had 26 syersterday morn, and didnt get out in the sun quick enoght, had vehicles  to start, and those that wouldnt start, had to put the batt charger on, finally started all but one, my motorcycle, left it on maintainance mode.  Got to take the seats off and back rack to get to the battery.  I will start it today.   Need to sell it soonest so someone can be riding it and enjoying it the way I did.   What a ride ! ! ! 

    We also had sleet and hail yesterday aroung 2 pm for about 30 minutes or so.  Puzzeling weather eh what?   One of my very best friends in whirl came by yesterday for a visit, Jimmy Hilsher.   Just brightend my day, more that the sun.   What a good good man and friend he is.

    Diane had lunch with her sister from Russia yesterday. Well, she didnt go to Russia, just to Cypress, then they did girlie shopping and stff.  My beloved needed that for sure.

    Oh my driver is calling for me to get in the car, so I will be bak.   Sorry about al l the messespsselled words, my bain and fingers just seem to want to cooperate.

    Keep the glorious sun shing on you and the glorious Son shining on you and "ride boldly ride..."

Beau:

One of the fondest memories I have of our reunions was being able to visit with you. Living in Nebraska I have not always been able to make all the reunions and as I recall it was about our 40th, we had I nice long visit. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. One of my favorite scriptures is Psalm 103:2-4 "Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies".  
God Bless You.
 

Teddie Jordan

Cephus, I know it's hard to think about selling your Harley, but that is our season of life. It was very hard for me to sell the ranch and all of the toys and memories we had accumulated over 24 years, but now 2 years later I'm glad I don't have all of that stuff and commitment to maintain it. I was thinking today about the MC ride you made to DC to honor our veterans a few years ago and about all of your memories of that trip. I'm sure you're glad you did it but also glad you don't have to do it today.,

Beau Wann, Jr.

     Charles, I do remember our chat from the 45th I think.  I also remember you from School.   Fine  young man, now a fine distinguished gentleman. The words of encouragement are well received.   May your journey through life be a wonderful as can be.  Been reading the spots off of PSALMS.

     TJ,  leting go of things is sometimes hard to do, but it's just another chapter on the book of life.  Riding my MC was theraputic, and an adventure that I've long since known was at an end, a few years back.   I've ok with it. I'll always have great memories of it, especially the trip to DC for ROLLING THUNDER.  And to think, I almost didnt go.  Now t hat would have been a tragedgy.  

        Got to reconnet with another era in time on that trip,   Vietnam, not necessarily a good time or memory, but made lots of friends, some made it back, some didnt.  Yet another chapter in the book of like, now closed.  Time to move on to more important things, GOD, and all my wonderful friends from such a wonderful  and importantt time in our lives.  

     How many good chapters is one person allowed to be blessed???  I've been so blessed, I feel guilty!     We lived through a time when Coca cola cost a nickel, and a candy bar cost a nickel, rather go to the five and dime than anywhere else,whether you had the money to buy anything or not,   we would rather have played with our friends in t he dirt than text over some stupid phone,  I still feel that way.  Rather be out digging post holes for a new section of fence, or digging up the soil for a new garden or up on the tractor , mowingm or doing road work.   I've been blessed beyong all belief.

    Have a really good day yesterday. Got my staples out of mah punkiin haid.  Never felt a thing.  I did sting a just a tad when the PA cleaned the wound with an alkyhol wipe, but I didnt flinch.  "What, you finshed?  Did you do anything"?.   Having a pointment north works great beacue i get the sun on my face going up, and sun on my face coming back home.  What more could one ask for?   

     Speaking of whicch, lay out in the glorious sun for several hours when we got home fomr CS.   But, not before we had a CHEESEBURGER ALL THE WAY AND FRYS AND ONION RINGS...havent had frys in 2 years.  They were wonderful.  So all in all, a very good day, another blessed day for sure.

    HEY LYNN AND PAT....! ! !   Fed ex delivered the surprise you sent, and it wass glorousse, THANK YOU.   The driver couldnt understand how a person could be so excited over a package from THE COLIN STREET BAKERY.  I decided to have a slice of it and guess whst, it was delicious.  I hadnt had fruitcake sine I was a wee lad of 8 r 9.  I know lots of yall sent me FC back in the early naughts after I had written a story about receiving fruitcakes with I w as about 8 or 9 for Christmas.  I mean, who gives fuitcat to a litt le boy???  My family! ! !

     Would you belive fruitcake comes with instructions?    Yup!    It said I could doctor it up with rum or bourbon or whatever was my pleasure.   I added sum Rebecca Creek whishkey to it.   Ought to be just right in about 2 week, according to the instructions.

    A man could not ask for better friends than the friends that I have. 

    Been thinking about a lot of projects I need to get going on.  I want to build a greenshouse for Diane, a well house, and put in a whole house generator with a shed around it. Oh, and another deck or two.  But I'm going to start on the greenshouse for my beloved.   Love to find some old windows for it, but new ones will suffice.  Put in a probane heater, and some counter tops all way round and some shelfves under those, guess I' better get going on that havent I.

    Today, as soon as it heats up to at leat 50, I'm going to lay in the glorious sun.  My eldest brought some teak chaise lounge chairs from their gargen for me to lay on in my garden. 

   Time to deplane to another plain plane, so I will say happy tarails for now..

wouldnt want to make this too long, eh lwhat?   Too late now!

keep the sun on you while the Son is in your and "ride boldly ride..."

Beau: I have memories of going to the movies on Saturday mornings to watch Buck Rogers and a movie that cost 25 cents for the movie a coke and popcorn. I remember my dad making fruit cakes, soaked in brandy, in one pound coffee cans. I remember having ducks and dressing for Thanksgiving and Christmas because my dad was a duck hunter. I remember my train trip to San Diego for Navy boot camp and my service on an aircraft carrier and liberty in Sasebo, Yokosuka, Singapore, Subic Bay and many other ports. Our visit still seems to overshadow those. I am glad that I had the opportunity to spend that time with you. Be sure to read Psalm 91 and 124 and know that they are spoken directly to you. May God make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift you up and give you grace. You are still in my prayers.

Blessings,

Johnny Sheffield

I believe that is atribitable to Patton, if not, it's still a good thing.   By noon I am so exhausted, cant move.

   "The sawbones says it a combination of the surgry, the anathetiscs and the anit seiziores med, but he doesntt say if I will get better.   There is just so much to get done each day, dont to leave it up to Diane to hace to ddo it. Just typing this is exhautionings.  Hells  bells, just loging on to the comstupidputer is exhausting, cause I awalays hit to wrong keys and have to keept tyring to get it  right.

Now all was good under that departent.   Shoud be getinng a appointment with MD Anerdweson this week.  Got my China-19syndrom vacined yestersay.  MD amerson encousdet us to to that, although they are goint to test for it wwhen gett there, whenever thatt is.

Hey beau,  I've been facing the work that acreage has, just got my grandson to live with me to help with the farm.  He's not acquainted with the hard work of a farm but trying. and I am faced with back surgery, unavoidable, tried to keep up with his children, two lovely gitls 4 and 10,  and couldn't, broke my heart, what I used to be. But they loved working so I might have a crew.

Glad you got the staples out, please let us know how things go.  And Susan Howard, what a sweetheart, will pray for all.

Praying for Sam and Susan.  Such a nasty thing this virus is.

beau, they weren't doing a Covid test.  They were looking for a brain.  When you find yours you can come help me find mine.  I really thought I had it today.  M D Anderson is a fantastic hospital.  We are scheduled to receive our shots on February 1st.  Hope it really happens.  We still have to wear masks and social distance, etc.  It will make our daughter dial it back a notch.  That's a good thing.  

Praying for our country.
