Mary Harwood Bullard and Hubby Andy Bullard

Mary Stuart Harwood married Andy Bullard in 1980 in her father's home on Edgecove Drive.  Mary and Andy have resided in Lahaina, Hawaii; Orlando, Florida; Gwinnett County, Georgia; and Santa Barbara County, California.  Following Andy's retirement in 2001, they returned to Texas and live in Woodway.  Although Mary retired as a paralegal in 2017, she is still active in several legal professionals' associations.  Retirement has also allowed her to spend more time pursuing her interest in genealogy which she began in earnest in 1992.  Although her mother lost her courageous battle with the cancer discovered our senior year, Mary is blessed to be a two-time cancer survivor.  She begins every day by saying:  "This is the day which the Lord has made.  We shall rejoice and be glad in it."

Russell Townsend today... who said he could not ride a horse?

It was a life changing event. On January 4, 2015, Russell suffered a right sided iIschemic stroke. Three days later, on January 7th, they performed emergency brain surgery to save his life. Russell remained in a coma until almost a month later. He woke on February 4th. He was unable to stand, walk, or talk until he started rehab. Rehab lasted 3 years, and Russell now walks with a quad cane and braces on his left leg. He joined a brain injury support group in 2016 called BIND, Brain Injury Network of Dallas. They have been very helpful and supportive for Russell and his family. There is much more he can share if anyone else has this occur in their lives.

“With the help of my family and my faith it has made all of this possible.” Russell Townsend

Flaghangers and football stadiums: 50 years of memories at Lake Highlands High by Carol Toler

THE FANG STAFF LHHS 1970

Carol Toler spent her Saturday last week at El Fenix with our Pop Up Lunch. She was immersed into our Wildcat festivities and was able to see the connections and ties that have built and lasted over the last 55 plus years.

If you want to read the article… you can do it HERE.

Our class was mixture of the time and culture. We blended in 7th grade from three different elementary schools to have class for a year in a single hall of the current high school as it was being built. Our world began to bloom meeting new friends as we navigated our teen years. Our senior year at LHHS, Hamilton Park High School, which was accredited in 1965, merged into Lake Highlands High School. The 1968-1969 class was the last graduating class of the Hamilton Park High School. Imagine the mixed feelings of these senior students having to spend their senior year new at Lake Highlands High School. It was at this time we had new HPHS students throughout the high school and junior high.

Looking at the photo above, I see friends across the years. Some have already passed on and others have not been seen since we walked those halls of LHHS. With over 600 grads among us, on facebook we have only found about 120. Not everyone is on Facebook. We were thrilled to see Mike Owens last Saturday, a perfect example of someone NOT on facebook! Russell Townsend was there as well. Watch for a post after this which includes the fun from last Saturday and the announcements from Bob Iden and Robert Grinsfelder.

With the coming celebration of 50 years there will be festivities. Please keep up with our website as details are released.
