Janelle has 2 sons - one in Glen Rose and the other in Ft. Worth, and 3 grandchildren (2 girls and one boy). She retired in March 1999 from The Society of Petroleum Engineers where she was manager of Conference Programs. This involved an enormous amount of travel (half outside the U.S.) organizing conferences and exhibitions for the oil and gas industry worldwide. Janelle took retirement in March 1999 (actually just quit) and moved to Grapevine to be closer to her family. She is presently managing an advisory firm for the meetings and exhibitions industry out of a home office as well as working for area convention and visitors bureaus. Janelle is greatly enjoying life outside of an airplane and hotel room and and not having to wonder how what is the language d'jour is each morning. She hasn't figured out how the hobby thing works yet, but hopes to have one someday. Janelle says she has only positive and inspirational feelings about NDHS. The most influential class (that she can define in financial / career terms) was the 2 years of typing. There was not much else available to women within confines of their expectations in the work world. The typing expertise got women in the door, they weren't "threatening" and it was up to them to make a go of it. She says that this is a fabulous website and opportunity to renew friendships. She is hoping our lives have calmed down enough that we can pick-up where we left off with our friendships in 1955. We've all changed but she thinks the core of what made us friends still exists and our maturity will open up our appreciation and connection with those we didn't "dig" at that particular time in our lives. |

Well.....
here goes..... I left Dallas as soon as I could..... joined the Navy and
liked it so much I stayed for 26 years! Got a Warrant in 1967 and made
CWO4 before I retired. Did two tours in Vietnam on the ground or in the
rivers with the Seal teams as an Intelligence Collector...... lost
various, but minor, body parts and lots of friends.
In 1973 the Navy decided that 2 ground tours merited something,
so they sent me to the Navy Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. to get
a BS..... I chose Math, mostly to show up Nell Lawler, who said I would
never learn it....... I did. Magna Cum in 1975..... then off to
play, one more sea tour and one more shore tour and retired in 1979. |

College info: M.A. University of Texas, Ph.D. University of Texas. Family

Lynn Maple Hardaway, RN. Eight grandchildren. Job info: William R. Maples,
Born, Dallas, Texas, August 7, 1937, died February 27, 1997. Bill was an
internationally known University of Florida forensic anthropologist. He
graduated from North Dallas High School, January 1955. He attended the
University of Texas (Austin) and received his Ph.D. in Anthropology where
the late Thomas W. McKern, a well-known forensic anthropologist, supervised
his graduate training. Before coming to the University of Florida, Bill
Maples managed biomedical research centers in East Africa for several years
and taught at Western Michigan University. Bill was a distinguished service
professor of the C.A. Pound Human Identification Laboratory at the
University of Florida and author of the renowned book "Dead Men Do Tell
Tales," Doubleday, New York, 1994, co-authored by Michael Browning.
Currently the book has been printed in the United Kingdom, and is available
in German, Japanese, Spanish and the rights have recently been sold for a
Turkish edition. Certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology,
Bill was internationally recognized for his work in physical anthropology,
particularly forensic human identification and trauma analysis. Bill helped
law enforcement officers determine the identify and trauma of unidentified
crime and accident victims by studying their skeletal remains. During his
career at the University he assisted in over one thousand such cases. In
June, 1996, Bill, along with his wife, Margaret, and his graduate students
worked with medical examiners to identify fragmented remains of children who
were victims in a ValuJet plane crash in South Florida. As a contracted
consultant with the Dade County Medical Examiner's Office, Bill helped
identify the remains of 11 of the 12 child victims, six of whom were younger
than 12 years. He was involved in numerous high-profile cases involving
historic people. He participated in the 1991 exhumation and examination of
President Zachary Taylor, helped identify the remains of Spanish
conquistador Francisco Pizarro in Peru in 1984, and did an analysis using
the remains of Joseph Merrick, "The Elephant Man" in 1990. In 1992, Bill
Maples led a team of scientists to help identify the remains of the last
Russian monarch, Czar Nicholas II, and his family and retainers, brutally
slain by revolutionaries in 1918. In 1991, he was a member of the
exhumation autopsy studying the remains of Medgar Evers, the slain civil
rights worker. When Bill spoke in 1996 at a luncheon for the Florida Museum
of Natural History Association, he said it was his destiny to study skeletal
remains to find out who they are, how they died, and who was responsible for
their demise. Bill told the group that as a young boy he once discussed
with a friend opening a tomb to see if a famous person really was buried in
it. He saw his first autopsy photos in elementary school. "The field of
forensic anthropology selected me," he said. Bill joined the faculty at the
University of Florida in 1968 as an assistant professor of anthropology. In
1978, he became a full professor and was named curator of Physical
Anthropology at the Florida Museum of Natural History (formerly the Florida
State Museum). Bill was also chairman of the Department of Social Sciences
from 1973 to 1980. When Bill opened the C.A. Pound Human Identification
Laboratory at UF in 1986, it was considered among the most innovative
forensic laboratories in the country. Bill received calls for help in
solving crimes from all over the globe. It remains one of the most active
laboratories of its kind. Bill was a member of the New York State Police

"After North Dallas, I attended Abilene Christian College for two years, but graduated with a Bachelor's of Music degree with a major in voice from North Texas State University. Later, after moving to Washington, DC, received my Master of Music degree in conducting from Catholic University of America. I moved to the DC area in 1963 where until 1967 I was a member of The United States Army Band and Chorus. While in the Army, I began a part-time position in 1966 as Director of Music for the Fairfax (VA) Presbyterian Church which later became a full-time position and for the last 10 years I also served as the church's Director of Administration. After 34 years I retired April 2000. For a period of almost 20 years I was Music Director and Conductor of the Fairfax Choral Society a large community chorus and chorale. I have been very active in music in the Washington DC area and this has provided the bulk of my avocational activities, although flying (I'm a private pilot), golfing and computers have been interests of mine, as well. My spouse, Eleanor, was born and raised in Petersburg, VA, and received her undergraduate degree from Mary Baldwin College (Staunton, VA) and her Masters from Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She taught high school for 30+ years until her retirement about 3 years ago. Since then she is working in a surgeon's office. She joined my choir at the church in 1972, and we were married in December 1973. I have two children by a former marriage, Larry (42) and Lisa (39). After 60 years of pain and confusion I finally decided to deal with the fact that I am and have always been a trans-gendered person, and in 1999 transitioned to become a woman, changing my name to Robin. I am finally whole and at peace with the real me |

Patsy is living in Shady Shores, about 8 miles south of Denton. She retired after 25 years of personnel and Human Resources with Moore Business Forms, including a 2 year stint in Chicago at Moore's national headquarters. She has 4 grown children, 8 grandchildren. She has been teaching piano lessons for the last 2 years. Patsy enjoys going to the Bulldog breakfasts every January and July, where she gets to see a lot of the NDHS "kids." She keeps up with Gary Pursel and Kelly Parks through e-mail. Patsy says that they are trying to get a lot more people to come to the breakfast in July - and that everyone should get their calendar and mark the last Saturday Patsy was in Tulsa in Jan 01 and talked to Bobby Wood. It looks like the clan is gathering! 07/02/2006 - (From Patsy) my husband, Walter Gilchrist , died on June 11th. It was congestive heart failure. He was in the hospital, but was getting better. We were all looking forward to his coming home and getting into the rehab program. He was buried on the 16th at Swisher Cemetery in Lake Dallas. It was a military funeral. Walter was also an Eagle Scout. My grandson, who is also an Eagle Scout, played taps. It was a very emotional time for all of us. We then had a beautiful memorial service for him at the Lake Cities United Methodist Church. He graduated from Highland Park High School in 1951, served in the army, taught bio-chemistry at TWU and in 1992 he retired from Univ. of Texas Southwestern Medical School dept of Microbiology. You might still be able to see the obituary in the Dallas Morning News. I think it was on the 14th. His daughter also sent one in (she doesn't acknowledge my existence). You will be able to tell the difference. Please keep us in your prayers. The main thing is.. I loved him and he loved me back. Love to all Patricia (Murphy) Nelson Gilchrist |

( Overbeck) Coleman, Mary Kay |
Mary Kay met her husband, Don Coleman, while teaching at Memorial High School in Houston. He was basketball coach and she was teaching history and government. Don had some great teams and retired in 1992 as the 8th winningest coach in the nation. She and Don have four children and seven grand children. Three sons live in Houston and are each is married and has his own business. Their daughter and her husband live in Austin where both are attorneys. After graduation from SMU in 1959, Mary Kay became a high school teacher (what else did one do then?). She spent 25 years in public education, mostly in Houston. Ten years spent as a classroom teacher and 15 years as the public relations director for the school district. In 1986 she was offered an opportunity to set up public relations program for a small mutual fund company where she worked until the company sold to John Hancock in 1994. Then went to AIM Funds where she is the First VP for Marketing Communications. AIM is the 8th largest mutual fund company in the nation today. AIM's website is at www.aimfunds.com. Mary Kay is thinking about retirement since her husband enjoys it so much, but she is a bit fearful of it as she has worked steadily for 41 years and seems to attach her identity to her work -- not good, she knows. Her favorite past time is finding a quiet place to read a book. She also enjoys traveling, gardening, tennis, watching the grandchildren's activities, Bible study, meeting friends for dinner. Mary Kay says that the depth and breadth of education she received at NDHS has been the underpinning for any success she has achieved in other aspects of her life. While she has enjoyed every phase of life thus far, few fill her with the nostalgia as the golden high school years. |
