Andy Wallace, class of '63(in Sevilla '58-'61) died November 11, 2005 from a brain tumor. After school, he served for a time in the Army in Vietnam. Later he and his family, followed his sister and family, in moving from K.C. to Arlington, Texas(Dallas/FW suburb). Although, Andy was chosen "Shyest" at SHS, (see '59-'60 yearbook), he actually ran for mayor! Having been diagnosed with MS in the 70's, he opened the Arlington National Multiple Sclerosis office. He is survived by his wife, Judy, three children, 7 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. He was a wonderful "big brother". Sharon Wallace, class of '65 8/2009

death of Raymond Chase I just heard from Pat Chase who let me know that her husband, Ray, died July 5. Both Chases, of course, were the very popular English teachers we all had in the early 60's at SHS. He collapsed June 25 from what turned out to be an inoperable brain tumor. Pat said he was unconscious those 10 days he was in the hospital and he died peacefully and without pain. As a teacher myself, I can well appreciate the enormous gift Ray Chase had in communicating the beauty and excitement in the writings of "Willy Shakes" (as he sometimes referred to William Shakespeare) to a bunch of high school students. He managed to show 60's Generation teens how literature could express a kaleidoscope of human feelings even when it was hundreds of years old as well as how the written word could be so powerful in that achievement. We at SHS were very fortunate to have such a teacher as Raymond Chase. Pat Hinson

Dear SHS Family, It is with a sad heart that I inform you all that sweet Ruthie Flowers Hawkes, Class of '65 (but left Sevilla in '64) passed away on July 27, 2007 at 4:30 p.m. at her home in Davis, CA. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the spring. Several of us were able to visit her this last and final week. She's home with her Heavenly Father now and is happy once again and free of the pain. We are all thankful for that but we will still miss her terribly. She left a husband, Chris Hawkes, and a 14-yr. old son, Jefferson. As I told one of her friends the last time I saw her, "When God made Ruthie, he broke the mold. There's never been another like her."

My name is Steve Mellenthin and I have been friends with Pete (Hampton) and his wife for several years. Pete passed away on Thanksgiving Day from complications from surgery on the previous Monday. Kay was uncertain about how to contact his military acquaintances and asked if I could help. I am going back to emails he sent me and pulling names off them as a means to notify his friends who may know not he has left us. That is why I have sent you this email. Pete was a good man, one of the best, and he will be sorely missed. Kay can be contacted at Pete's old email address KCu8049751@aol.com or by phone at 1.937.231.4124. Sincerely, Steve 11-26-07
