 DENISON-John Marshall Clark rode off
into the sunset of this life in love with
1 Marilyn, his one and only love of 63 years
by his side, and at home on Friday, Dec.
18th. He was born in Lubbock, Texas, on
Aug. 24,1936, to John G. and Anne Clark
who preceded him into heaven along
with his brother, Robert, to welcome him
into the place prepared for them by their
Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. John was a
real man in the John Wayne sense of the word; strong and
confident; quiet and gentle; tough and tender. Although he
was a rugged individual, he was part of the body of Christ
who understood that Jesus was his example and his guide.
He loved his God, wife, family and friends as their patri
arch. His values were simple, straightforward and passed
down to his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren
and many others whom he helped or influenced in his 79
years. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto
you." Said another way; treat people the way you want to
be treated. Although he will be missed, his legacy lives on
through the many people he touched.
John Clark is survived by his wife, Marilyn;
daughters,
D'Anne Lee, Amy Taylor and husband, Wes, Carol Thorn
ton and husband, Lee of Denison; and ten beloved grand
children; and five great-grandchildren.
A celebration of John's life will be held on Monday,
Dec. 28, at 3 p.m. in Hyde Park Presbyterian Church
located at 1708 Hyde Park Avenue in Denison, TX 75020.
he family will receive friends at the Clark's home follow
ing the celebration service.
Donations and memorials can be made to his church
family at Hyde Park Presbyterian Church or Home Hos
pice of Grayson County.

away yesterday. She and her husband Wesley lived in
Weatherford. I tried to get a phone number but was unable
to get
one. Colene and I were friends in Junior High at JTH.
She lived
on 28th close to the school. Remember I tracked
her to Canyon

I just wanted to let you and the Lubbock crowd
know that Jack passed away yesterday morning
( Monday, January 19th) He had been in the hospital for about
10 days with pneumonia and his lung collapsed. Technical help
could not get him to the place that he could sustain himself
and was on 100% oxygen. He was well taken care of at Covenant
and given as much help with his breathing and comfort as was
possible.
Would you please let the people
you know about in Lubbock who would want to know that he has
passed away have this information. You would know better than
I who those people would be. I would appreciate it as well as
those in Mortar Board. There will be a visitation at
Lakeridge Memorial Chapel on 82nd and Milwaukee on Thursday
from 7-9 PM and a Memorial Service on Friday at Lakeridge
Methodist Church at 11:00 AM.

Joyce Pruitt
LUBBOCK-Marilyn Joyce Pruitt,
age 77, of Lubbock passed away on Tuesday, Sept.
17, 2013, with family by her side. She was born
to the late James Harvie Pruitt and Evelyn Grey
(McDonald) Pruitt on Feb. 23, 1936, in Lubbock,
Texas. Joyce, a 1954 graduate
of Lubbock High
School,
obtained her BS degree in physical education
from Abilene Christian College in 1958. She was
awarded several additional graduate degrees:
M.Ed., Texas Tech (1962), Ph.D., Physical
Education, Texas Women's University (1968), and
Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine from Texas
Chiropractic College in Pasadena, Texas, in
1980. Her Ph.D. graduate work included data on
female measurements, which was used by the Air
Force in designing uniforms. Education was very
important to Joyce, and she was especially proud
of following her father Jim's footsteps at Texas
Tech, himself a member of Tech's first football
team. She was a respected teacher and coach. Her
teaching career included positions at Lamesa
High School, Milby High School, Lubbock
Christian High School, Joshua High School, and
Southeast Missouri State University, Cape
Girardeau, Mo. During her coaching career, she
led Lamesa's girls to the 1960-61 Volleyball
State Championship. Following graduation from
Chiropractic College in Pasadena, Dr. Pruitt
returned to Lubbock to open her practice,
Lubbock Chiropractic Center. She treated
patients at this location for over 25 years.
Family and friends were Joyce's passion and
delight. One of six children, Joyce was close to
her siblings and their families. She spent most
holidays with her extended family. Her generous
spirit and quick wit made her a favorite with 14
nieces and nephews, along with their spouses and
children. Joyce was an active member of the
Shadow Hills ladies' golf group. She loved the
game of golf and spent most of her retirement
playing with friends and family, even scoring a
hole-in-one. Other hobbies included her dogs,
yard work, and woodworking. Marilyn Joyce Pruitt
was preceded in death by two brothers, Don
Pruitt and Bill Pruitt; a sister, Faye Pruitt;
two sisters-in-law, Cherolyne Pruitt and Opal
Pruitt; and one brother-in-law, Jimmie Scott.
She is survived by her brother, Harvie Pruitt of
Lubbock and his wife Charis; and a sister, Pat
(Pruitt) Scott of Edmond, Okla. Other survivors
include 14 nieces and nephews, their spouses,
and a host of devoted great-nieces and nephews.
She also leaves behind numerous close friends.
The family will receive friends 5:30 to 7:30
p.m. Friday, Sept. 20, 2013, at Combest Family
Funeral Homes. The funeral service will be held
at her home congregation, the Sunset Church of

My mom (Anne Eisenburg Gordon) passed at 3:53 AM
(June 7th). Tami and I were by her side. She started the day off
with a low heart rate and blood pressure and continued to
decline throughout the day. I had made arrangements with hospice
as it was evident this was it. We never got the chance to move
her, like always, she did things her way in spite of all my good
planning!
It was a peaceful passing, I am glad her suffering is over. Per
her wishes, she will be cremated and no services. If anyone
wishes to do anything, please make a donation to benefit breast
cancer or better yet.... just be kind to someone today.

It is with a heavy heart that I tell you
that Steve passed away Sunday morning. The devastating
cancer claimed his body but never his mind or his spirit.
He donated his body to OU Medical School
and memorial donations are being sent to Stephenson Cancer
Center, P.O. Box 26901, 6th floor, Oklahoma City, Ok.,
73126-0901.
We have requested that all donations sent
in his name be targeted toward research being done there on
rhabdomyosarcoma. There is a clinical trial going on right
now related to that dreaded form of cancer which claimed
Steve's life. Only 200 people each year are diagnosed with it
and most of them are children. Steve wanted his
experience to be used to defeat rhabdo so that children will
not have to sufrer what he suffered.
The memorial service will be Fri. at 2:00
at Grace Episcopal Church in Muskogee.
His obituary will be in the Muskogee
Phoenix, Wed. Ap. 18th.
Blessing to all of you. Our family is
devastated but will carry on in the spirit that Steve lived,
with humor and love.
Sincerely,
Tommye

Joe Dale,
I
got this note from Tom Brady yesterday. You may have
already received this notice.
Marilyn
Gravett
Dear Family and Friends, some of you all will receive
this message a couple of times. Here goes.
On the 4th of August, Royalyn was operated on for
lung cancer. The left lobe was removed along with the
lymph nodes. All came out perfect. No spread of the
cancer. After 7 days in the hospital we came home. All
was well. She was getting stronger and breathing well.
Sunday, the 14th about 5PM Royalyn began to become
disoriented and could not use her hands. I took her to
the emergency room and they started hooking her up again
to all wires and tubes. At 7PM she was taken to the
bathroom to give a urine sample. Royalyn then had
a seizure and later a stroke. The doctor was not quite

I don't know if you are aware that Glenda
Keyton is in Carillon and will be there for at least a
month. She fell December 2nd while walking from the
parking lot to the entrance at Cracker Barrel. She was in U.
M. C. Hospital for several days - 14 stitches in her head and
a very badly broken and shattered arm. She then went to a
rehab hospital (forgotten which one) and now is at Carillon.
She has had problems with her balance for quite some time
which probably caused the fall. Also, she has a chronic and
severe anemia problem. I know she would appreciate cards,
notes, phone calls, etc.
Merry Christmas,

I hate to add to this list, but Darwin is now

end. He is not mobile and the pain is still not controlled. We
really do not know where we are with his cancer, but anticipate
that we and the doctors will elect to stop chemo in about a
week.

Jimmy Joe Stanford had
heart surgery last week to repair a mitral valve and replace
an aortic valve. He was in surgery a long time, and after
getting into recovery he had a leak somewhere. They took him
back into surgery, opened him up again, and repaired the
leak. I think he had 10-11 hours total in surgery. I
checked with Barbara today. He is being moved into a
room and is evidently doing okay. He is in Lubbock Heart

Dear Joe Dale:
I thought this article on Welton Jones
might be of interest to you and the Lubbock High '54
class.
Regards,
Ray
The Texas A&M Former Journalism Students Association, is
inducting influential San Diego arts critic Welton Jones
II ‘58 to its Hall of Honor this Saturday during a 4 P.M.
Reception at Cain Hall ( Room B-111) near Kyle Field (two
hours prior to game time). I’ve include below a story
celebrating his 50th year as an arts critic (2007),
written by sandiego.com's editor.
Best regards,
Kelly Brown
"People often get recognized for their contributions when
they're gone and everybody else gets in on the story. In
this case, in the rock and roll of his work in
coordinating the award winning critical arts reviews on
sandiego.com, we're taking a short pause to talk about
the fellow that got this part of our site started, grew it
to the great resource it is. He continues to lead the team
and the arts community in San Diego has noticed, by
commenting on reviews on the site and other means -
inspiring spirited exchanges like that following his
review of "The Treatment" at Moxie Theater or by "The Two
Gentlemen of Verona" at the Old Globe. Those long involved
in San Diego Arts like the Artistic Director of Balboa
Park's Old Globe, Tony award winning Jack O'Brien, noted
Welton's impact over the years at this year's San Diego
Critics Circle awards ceremony (Jan 21, 2007) "I see
Welton [Jones] out there, who was the first critic here to
review me: he carved his initials on SEVERAL parts of my
body and I have the scars to prove it...."Welton
Jones
Welton Jones started his long and distinguished career at
the lowest possible rung of the ladder of journalism: as a
paperboy in junior high school. In high school, he was
called a good writer but considered himself to be more of
a story teller.
After graduating from Lubbock High School, he started
college at Texas A&M in the fall of 1954 and majored
in journalism as a compromise. Having never written for a
newspaper, he went to work for The Texas A&M Battalion
before even registering with the college, earning $5 the
first month. The summer of 1956 he worked for the
Lubbock Avalanche-Journal and for the Houston Post
the next summer of 1957 before his senior year. That year
he was up for Editor of the Battalion. When he didn't get
that, he decided to write about theater and taught himself
how.
He was rated 1A in the draft but followed his
girlfriend to New York City. He worked fulltime as a copy
boy at the New York Herald Tribune in the fall of
1958 for three or four months. The future scion of theater
critics in San Diego must have given a thumbs down to New
York and joined the US Coast Guard in the fall of 1958. He
made Ensign in February of 1959. While stationed in
Juneau, Alaska he had a daughter, Diana. After leaving the
Coast Guard, he returned to Texas and went to work for the
Houston Post. He worked the police beat as a result of
working an all-nighter and soon rose to be the senior
police reporter. All the time he was describing the police
blotter, though, he aspired to the entertainment post.
During that time he co-founded a local theater group. He
resigned from the paper, went broke, and had a son, Welton
III, all in 1961. He moved to Shreveport in late 1961 and
was hired for the entertainment beat . His first review
was of the Shreveport Opera doing "Lakme!", and began to
pay off his debts. The Coast Guard Reserve recalled him to
NYC which began what became an annual trip to the city.
In 1965, he joined the San Diego Union as the
Sunday department entertainment staff writer, writing
reviews daily, continuing what he started eight years
earlier. He held the reviewer's post from 1965 until 1971,
missing his annual trek to New York. He took the post of
entertainment editor in 1972, although he got no extra
pay. He resumed his New York trips, though. He became the
official theater critic for the Union in 1984. The
Union merged with the Tribune and Welton became
the Critic-at-large in 1994, a post he kept until
retirement in 1999.
In 2000, he began writing for this site, sandiego.com.
He's been instrumental in pulling together a team of
erudite, enthusiastic and dedicated writers that cover
nearly all of the professional performances in town,
winning wards in both 2006 and 2007 as the dominant arts
reviewing group in the city. As of October 2007, just a
few months ago, Welton's been on the job for 50 years and
he's still going strong and not just writing and leading
the review team at sandiego.com.
His theatre activities include: Passion play tour,
Galveston Little Theater, started Juneau Little Theatre,
started Major Productions Inc. (went broke). Still
corresponds with one actress from that company. Shreveport
helped form a couple companies; directed The "Boyfriend"
for Barksdale AF Base. Stage managed and wrote Shreveport
Press Club Gridiron show. SD New Heritage Th. Inc. 1968 2
original musicals: "The New Black Crook', "Chinchilla!"
(directed/produced); Del Mar series of 1 act plays
1973. For Women’s Ensemble Theater, he did sound design
for "Uncommon Women" and others. SDG&S 84 Patience, 85
Orpheus, 86 Iolanthe, 86 Savoy; 87 Florodora, 88 Yeomen,
88 Utopia Ltd., Theater has been a lifelong passion. In
1981 he had already written a 50 minute traveling show,
"Songs for a Queen", which toured the San Diego schools
for the SDG&E outreach program. In 1986 he wrote "The
Savoy Theater Cat", an insider view of the Gilbert and
Sullivan collaboration. Since retiring, Welton has
written, produced and/or directed "The Gift of the Magi"
(2001), "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" (2002), "La Pastorela"
(2005), and "The Pirates of Point Loma" (2007). He was
co-founder of the San Diego Press Club and is currently a
member of SOHO’s board of directors.

Friends,
I’m back from a 24-day, 8,000-mile road trip through 22 states
and
one Canadian province in my Toyota Celica. Spent a week in
Boston
doing some research and attending a ballet history seminar at
Harvard. Rode across Texas with my brother but otherwise did all
the
driving myself. Holly joined me for the last week. Only mishap
was a
nosedive spinout during a Northern Michigan blizzard. Friendly
tow-
truck pulled us out and we were on our way within hours, only
slightly battered.
Saw Yellowstone Park, Kit Carson Museum, Custer’s Last Stand
site,
top of Mississippi River, U.S. Fencing Hall of Fame in
Shreveport,
great-great-grandniece of Jaguarina (complete with family bible
and
10 ancient pictures), Trader Joe’s of Boston (a back Bay
storefront!), Harvard Faculty Club, a live wild wolf and many
motel
rooms.
Now I’m back, determined to stay put for a long while and ready
to go
to work on the many projects that have been postponed.

I received
a phone call from Kenneth Rhorer this morning. He and his
wife and Robert Goad and his wife were in Lubbock this past
week. Wednesday, Robert and Kenneth were coming out to visit
me to see my blacksmith shop, etc.; however, they had to
return to El Paso that day, and I did not get to see them.
Yesterday ( 1-21-09 ), Robert passed away. Probably a heart
attack. Kenneth will let me know. Sad.

Kay Roberta Hintz Kirk
May 28, 1937- March 29, 2008
Passed away Saturday, March 29, 2008.
Kay Roberta Hintz grew up in the
Midwest, with stops in Iowa,
Oklahoma, and
Texas. She graduated from Lubbock
High School in 1954, and attended Texas
Tech. She moved to the Bay Area in 1960,
where she met Russell Frances Kirk, the
man she would marry and raise a family
with. After 45 years of life together,
Russell passed away last August after
losing his own fight with cancer.
Kay was a loving mother and grandmother,
who enjoyed spending time with her
family. She was an avid crossword
puzzler who rarely missed the daily
puzzle and always had her trusty
dictionary by her side. She enjoyed
creative endeavors such as painting and
sewing, as well as traveling, cooking,
reading, and piecing together the
occasional jigsaw puzzle. In addition to
raising three kids, for many years Kay
operated her own bookkeeping business
and later worked at various day care
centers, loving the babies.
She is survived by her children Mitch,
Brian and Susan, her granddaughters Leah
and Nicole, her sister Ann and brother
Karl, and several nieces and nephews and
their families. We love her dearly and
she will be greatly missed. San

It is with great sadness that I tell you that Kay
Hintz Kirk passed away last week 3-29-08. her
husband, Russell, died last August after a brief
battle with cancer, and Kay just couldn't live
without him. She was hospitalized in January, and
her sister went to CA to help her. After Ann
left, her kids got nursing help at home, and Kay
seemed better for awhile. She was hospitalized
again 2 weeks ago, and just couldn't make it.
Kay and their children, Mitch, Susie, and Brian
(and 2 granddaughters) had a wonderful celebration
of Russell's life last October at their favorite
restaurant in Sunnyvale CA. I was so happy to be
able to attend. Understandably, Mitch, Susie, and
Brian are devastated now, and can't cope with
another big memorial service. There will be a
private family ceremony.
I will send another message after I get addresses
for sympathy cards.

John had a significant stroke on Christmas
morning that affected his speech. This was the
temporal, parietal region for those of you in the
know. He has no physical deficits other that the
verbal and auditory defects. He is doing well with
speech therapy three times a week, but it will
take a while. His therapist has great hopes for a
full return.
We seek your prayers and know the love is there. I
just needed to let you know.
Always,

Re: Update on Charles MooreMr. Box,
I just wanted to let you know that we have moved Dad
to Littlefield. He
is in a nursing home there. The home is called
Littlefield Hospitality. He is in room 8. It is just
going to be better for him to be around more family.
I have two sisters and a niece that live in
Littlefield and, of course, Dad's two sisters live
in Lubbock. I think the more visitors that he can
have the better. This place seems to be very good
and are going to continue with his therapy five days
a week.
It was very hard for me to leave him there and come
back to Abilene. I am going to miss him being around
me and my kids everyday. If you could just get an
e-mail out to everyone and let them know where he is
and how he is doing, I would appreciate that very
much.
Thanks for all of your concern,
DeeDee Baker

Subject: Update on Charles Moore
Mr. Box,
I am writing to update you on what is happening with Dad. He is now in Mesa Springs skilled nursing unit here in Abilene. Progress is very slow. We are looking at long term nursing home care.
I have had to make a hard decision concerning this. I would love for Dad
to stay here in Abilene with me at a local nursing home, but it is getting very difficult for me. I am now 7 months pregnant and with the new baby coming soon, my time will be very limited. My sisters and I have decided to move Dad back to the Lubbock area where we have more family that can tend to Dad on a daily basis. Both of my sisters and a niece live in Littlefield, and we have found a very nice nursing home there for him to stay, Littlefield Hospitality. My sister also knows the physical therapist there and, hopefully, he can get more personal care and rehab. Hopefully, we will get Dad moved in the
next week or so. Also, moving him closer to Lubbock, both of his sisters (Beverly and Sharon) will be able to help out and visit more often. We just feel that it will benefit Dad more to have more visitors on a daily basis.
Thanks for all of your concern and prayers.

Re: Charles MooreHello,
Thank you for checking on Dad. I'm not sure
where we last were when you
heard from us. Dad went to the rehab facility
and was doing pretty good, but then had
another stroke and had two blood clots go to
each lung. He spent about a week in the
critical care unit. He probably should have
died instantly. He has hung in there and is
medically very stable and going through some
more rehab in the skilled nursing unit at
Hendrick Medical Center. He still doesn't
talk and can't move his right side at all.
It's hard to tell what is going on in his
mind, but he
appears to be very angry and not wanting to
participate a whole lot in rehab. If this
continues, the hospital will probably not
recommend a rehab facility and will send him
to another skilled nursing unit, possibly long
term nursing home care. They will make their
decision by the end of this week.
Please pray that dad will understand and
start working harder in therapy.
I feel like they have just basically given
up on him and are tired of working with him.
We are at the mercy of the physical,
occupational, and speech therapists. Dad is
progressing some, but not fast enough to make
a good impression on them. Please just pray
that they won't give up on him and will
recommend him for a rehab facility. Thanks for
all of your thoughts and prayers.

Re: Charles Moore
Dear Mr. Box,
Thank you for forwarding Dad's situation to all of
his friends. We truly appreciate all of the thoughts
and prayer. We were wondering if you could forward
this thank you and update to everyone for us.
Sincerely,
Connie, Tonie and DeeDee
Dear Friends:
My name is Tonie Ball. I am Charles' 2nd daughter
out of 3, Connie being the oldest, and DeeDee
(Deanna) being the youngest. Connie and I live in
Littlefield (West of Lubbock) and DeeDee in Abilene. I thought I would take a minute and thank each of
you for all of your wonderful words of encouragement
that you have sent to Dad and give you each an
update on his condition.
Dad is in Hendricks Medical Center in Abilene. We
helped him move to Abilene in 2001 after the loss of
our mother in 2000. He has lived there since,
enjoying his grandchildren of DeeDee's (Deanna).
She has 2 boys and one on the way (due in April). He
has been working part time and golfing a lot.
He was in great health until the day of his first
stroke on Oct. 28, 2006. He had another stoke on
Sat., Nov. 11th and had a blood clot in his lung and
one in both legs. He was in ICU until Sat., Nov.
25th and now is in room 3707.
Please feel free to call the hospital and go and
visit anytime. The direct phone number to his room
is 325-670-3707. He would truly love to see all
of his old friends that he could.
I'm sorry to report, at this time, he isn't talking.
His first stoke left him to where he can't talk or
swallow. He does know what people are saying (we
think) for the most part. He responds by shaking his
head and squeezing our hands. We have all of your
precious emails and will be reading them to Dad as
soon as he recovers enough to understand them all.
DeeDee is the one that lives in Abilene and is by
his side daily; Connie and I try to go on weekends.
Please feel free to call DeeDee anytime at
325-721-2094 and leave a message if she can't get to
the phone. She will be more than happy to hear from
you and answer any questions you might have. Thank
you again, for all of your thoughts and prayers, and
we will do our best to keep you informed.
God Bless you all,
Connie Trotter 806-729-7763

Hello,
Thank you for your e-mail. It means so much to
me to know that so many people care about my
wonderful Dad, almost as much as I do!! He
has been living in
Abilene for the last 4 years.
He is now at
Hendrick
Medical
Center here in Abilene. As of today he is in
room 3707. He will probably be moved to the
skilled nursing unit on the 6th floor in the
next couple
of days.
I am letting him know that all of his old
buddies are asking
about him. He is not very responsive right now,
and he can't talk. I'm not sure if he knows what
we are saying all the time. I will let him know
that you are thinking about him.
Thank you for your concern.

From R. G. Box
Charles Moore had a stroke 3 weeks ago (he played
18 holes that day). The stroke left him unable to walk;
also, he could not use his hands and could not talk.
After he started to improve, they
moved him into
therapy.
Yesterday, he was moved back into ICU due to a blood
clot in his lungs. However, he can understand when his
daughter talks to him.
His daughter is DeAnna Baker. If you would like, send an
email to DeAnna and she can read it to Charles. I think
it would be wonderful if Charles received many emails.
Please put this message on our web site. Have a good day
and say a prayer for Charles.

hurt and what looks and feels like a large burn spot on my

have been reminded that this is very much like a by-pass

I called Benny today. He is in a rehabilitation house down
the street from Seton Hospital in Austin. He is doing very
well. He has had a rejection rate of R-2, but they believe
that rejection can be controlled with medication, so they
are not too worried about that. Benny is looking forward
to getting
back on the golf course and doing some traveling. He got
the heart of a 62 year old man who died in Seton Hospital.
The man had had by-pass surgery, but the heart is beating
at a 70 rate, and they say a 60 is excellent.Benny's
heart was beating a 15-20, so he is getting some
circulation that he has not had for while. The report is
very good for complete recovery. Charles Flowers has

luckily that visit did not cause him a relapse. Thanks for
