[rgcraig]

Here's the infamous JCM Box Lunch Social where Tim bought my boxed lunch. If I remember correctly it was jambalaya.

Aren't we just a snappy pair!!

Oct. 1976

[Tina]

I thought you were going to say he bought your lunch TODAY. LOL

[MikeinAR]

Wow, that's a cool picture. I don't think you've aged a bit Renda. Tim on the other hand, not so much. :)

[Neck]

Wow, I remember we did this at our church.

I remember it between 1980 and 1984.

Seems like a lifetime ago...

[rgcraig]

Wow, that's a cool picture. I don't think you've aged a bit Renda. Tim on the other hand, not so much. :)

LOL! Oh, trust me I've aged! I just cut my hair instead of losing it!

[Sherri]

Terry Erwin bought my box supper that night. Wow - that's been a LONG time ago!

[rgcraig]

Sherri,

Funny that you mention Terry's name - - here we are eating our box lunches!

What's with those girly shirts? LOL!

[Ron]

They had colour film back then?:D


J/K You have awesome memories & it just lets us know how interconnected we all are in Pentecost.

As you can tell though, the color is fading they are so old!

Yes, I was just speaking with a JCM friend today about the bond that we all share that is irreplaceable! Great memories!!

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f108/rgcraig/JCM3.jpgThat thing I had on that night was one of those sinful "maxi" dresses!!! Wow, don't we all look YOUNG?

[Sherri]

Barb,

That's Reggie peaking around!And T Covey!! Tony Copple looks exactly the same, only with gray hair now. I recently saw a picture of Terry & Pam Erwin on their church website too. Back when we were having the JCM reunion, I looked up several old friends on their websites - very interesting!!

[rgcraig]

That thing I had on that night was one of those sinful "maxi" dresses!!! Wow, don't we all look YOUNG?

We WERE young - I thought I was really old though (21)!!!

I had on a maxi too.............we were so excited to actually be in style! Lord, you can't it by these pictures!

[rgcraig]

In the far back right - that has to be Sharonda Myers - - wasn't that her name?

[Sherri]

In the far back right - that has to be Sharonda Myers - - wasn't that her name? I think you're right on that one. Who's the guy leaning over the table?


BTW, here's Tony now, from his website:

Mark Roberts? Tim will probably come on and correct us and even tell us what we talked about that night! LOL!!!!

Yes, Tony looks the same just with silver hair!

You two were a fine looking couple. :)

[HappyTown]

Fashion was horrible back then.:tease

[Scott Hutchinson]

The guys look like they needed a trim.Kinda shaggy hair.

Nope, it ain't Mark Roberts.

And my memory ain't so good anymore.

That guy standing with his back to the camera was from Illinois ... he was a freshman that year in 1976-77 ... preachers' kid ... first name Tim.

But I can't think of his last name. Terry Erwin would know.

Eddie Cupples may remember.

God, I thought I was the cat's meow with a wide collar colored shirt and a denim jacket.

I did appreciate that Renda actually cooked a home cooked meal when a lot of other guys got McDonalds.

Yep. Mickey D's was a staple even back in 1976.

I assume you guys saw Regi Nevitt back there.

I don't remember reading if anyone mentioned him.

Not Sharonda Mire ... Sharonica. Hulon Mire's daughter.

Is that her over by those humongous breaker boxes?

I forgot all about those.

[timlan2057]

It just came to me.

That guy is Tim Vannoy - brother to then-UPC-missionary Danny Vannoy.

DV was a PBI alumnus.

[James Griffin]

Well Tim, looking at those photos made me aware,

we're both twice the men we used to be... (at least)


:-)

Yes James.

I was a svelte five foot eleven and 145 pounds at that box lunch.

I am now six feet tall and 255 pounds and unfortunately a good bit of it AIN'T muscle.

It wasn't the lunch I fixed you that started you down that path!

I'd forgotten the shirts you guys use to wear - - - :ursofunny

Yes it was.

The long road to apostacy starts with the first step.

[rgcraig]

Yes it was.

The long road to apostacy starts with the first step.

Oh my......I have to bear that burden?

Well, I'm not the svelte 5 foot three person I was at that box lunch either and I ate everything I wanted back then. Little did I know that it would all catch up with me!

[OneAccord]

Carbonated drinks on the table. Guy on left wearing a wrist watch. Guy on left (or is it the girl ?) has a red purse (RED mind you!) Mens hair a little less "Apostolic" than it should be. Is that the hint of a nekkid elbow way in the back? And, girls and boys sitting together!!!! See, "standards" were going out the window way back when these colored cave drawings were done. Oh, Renda, you're left handed? Everyone knows leftys are full of the debil. Rev. Larson, come quick!

Oh, yeah, girly shirts.

OA, you make a point.

Now those two guys at the front of the table were the height of masculinity way back then.

Uh ... that's a pretty big accomplishment at JCM.

And hey, those shirts were the height of fashion in 1976 for the big time UPC preacher not in the pulpit.

But yeah, wearing those shirts today they'd think we just came from the nearest gay rights rally. :ursofunny

You are right, Tim!

[timlan2057]

:)

I've told Renda repeatedly that her beautiful daughter looks just like her when she was young and she doesn't believe me.

[timlan2057]

After the box supper, Renda sent me the cutest text on my cell phone saying how glad she was I bought her box.

When I got back to the dorm I emailed her on my laptop thanking her for the great meal.

LOL!!!!!!

I kept telling you to pull the string tighter, but didn't realize that in doing so the end had popped out of your tin can!

Well, we were young and slender then but would I want to go back to 1976?

Nope.

I can't live without my internet, cell phone, high def flatscreen and blueray.

Man, how did we get along without them?

I'm with you on that!

Can you imagine our parents - - one pay phone for the whole dorm!! When you called home - you called collect!

Yeah, I remember those fashions (and I use that word loosely). The shirts, the leisure suits. I finally got one of those leisure suits. Got the shirt with the wide collars. Trouble was, by the time I got them- they were outta style. Remember the bell bottomed pants with the cuffs? Remember the wide ties with a knot so big it looked like you had a soft ball ball under your chin? Alhhh... the good old days. May they go down in history, never, ever to return!

[rgcraig]

Double knit was the bomb in the 70's - - it was hot and ugly, but worked well for washing and wearing!

I posted this on Facebook's JCM Alumni - talk about UGLY!!! These were our chorale dresses that we had to wear for two weeks every night!

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f108/rgcraig/JCM6.jpg

[rgcraig]

I think I've posted this one before - we had a 50's day. Actually, the fashion wasn't as bad as the 70's were!

Mr. Landry is on the hood doing the Fonzy thing! I'm in the middle.

There are a couple other distinguished ministers in that pic too!

Here's a few of us at the TLC's house for a party!

Fashion doesn't look that bad here:

Why was Sharon in a different dress? Why was she even there? This is after we graduated. I'm confused.

That was me with the red purse! See where it led me.........:tease

I believe I was at that service.

That would have been a chorale tour stop at Eastwood in Lake Charles just a few weeks after Renda, Pam and me graduated.

Sharon was there because she and David were Murrell Ewing's ministers of music at the time.

The next school year, 1978-1979, Patt Jett and Phyllis Newlin would be returning juniors and Joy Cole and Kathy Braddy would be returning seniors.

Ahhh....that makes more sense. I thought it was taken at JCM.

Oh yeah.

Whose digital camera is that in the foreground?

Wonder how many megapixels it can capture and if it has a 16x focus?

Funny - I don't see the ethernet connection to hook it up directly to the computer to download your photos.

Funny I don't see any laptops on the table.

The cafeteria WAS wired for Wi-fi, wasn't it?

[Sam]

:ursofunny

Scott, they need major makeovers!!!!!

Well, I'm sure they've changed in their looks since then.

Well, I went to ABI.
We had more truth than other UPC Bible Schools.
PBI (Tupelo) was known for being "loose."

By the way - question - what in the world was it that we cooked for those boxes? I remember cooking, but can't remember what it was. I wasn't much of a cook back then, so Renda must have been doing the coaching.

Great memories from this thread! :) Lot's of lifetime friends.

You're right!

I was just talking to one of those life-long friends this weekend and the bond that we all share is just irreplaceable!

We did dress funny though - lol!
