| (Wall) Gunnels, Evelyn | ewgunnels@prodigy.net: 910 Daria Drive Houston, Texas 77079-5022 281 493 9915 |
Evelyn and her husband Ellis Warren Gunnels have three children, seven grandchildren, all living in the Houston area except for two of the grandchildren who are in Austin. Evelyn worked at Greenville Avenue Christian Church as secretary before marriage and later worked in Civil Service, Army Ordnance Department, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, during WW II. Later she worked for the Museum at Texas A & M, also as secretary to the Hillel Society at A & M while her husband completed his engineering degree. She was a secretary at General Motors Acceptance Corporation in Pueblo, Colorado and a Secretary at Monsanto World Headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri. Since retirement, she has been active in Daughters of the American Revolution (Alexander Love Chapter) in Houston. She enjoys genealogy work and my grandchildren, five girls ranging in age from 10 to 22, and two boys, one 24, one 11. She and Ellis take the whole family cruising about every two years, usually to the Caribbean. Her hobbies are Genealogy and doll making. Her biggest influence from NDHS was from her dear algebra/geometry teacher, Miss Lawler, who made those subjects seem like a snap because she was such an expert teacher. Also, Mr. Morphis, Miss Bertrand, (English). Mr. Morphis' joke every February 2 "It's just two-two-thirty-eight". Miss Blake her shorthand teacher, a true gentlewoman. Mr. Baker, her long-suffering Biology teacher. Evelyn has kept in touch with two of her North Dallas friends, Peggy Byrn (Hickman) and Mary Frances Sherbet (Wood). They were her wedding attendants, and they have been close all their lives. Now they email almost daily.If she had to do NDHS over, she would have arranged to take courses to enable her to go to college. She didn't have the opportunity to do that. Comments: In 1944 she married Ellis Warren Gunnels, a graduate in 1940 from Woodrow Wilson High School. He attended Texas A & M until his junior year when he was taken into the military and served during WWII. He completed his Mechanical Engineering degree at A & M after the war on the GI Bill, and went to work in the Texaco refinery in Port Arthur, Texas as a power engineer. After 8 years he transferred to sales, and worked his way up to Vice President of Marketing, and retired in that position at age 65. | |||
