Who's wheels back in 1965 (still prowling the byways of Woodpile)?

Bill Bucher (1966)

Hello all!!! Bill Bucher (1966) here. I just want to say I sold my old 1948 five window coupe, Chevy pick-up to the son of the Branigans. One person above said Ron, I don't remember. He did take out the six & replaced with an eight cylinder engine. That's all I know about Branigan's. I don't remember eating them back then, but, recently I found one of their boxes in my garage, ???.     Now, for the reason I came to this site in the 1st place.  I ASKED Robert if he knew how 2 get my old Ilex's from1963 to 1966. He said I should put my question here. So, can anyone HELP???  My only thought is that one of the Class Officers of old or the current WHS Staff can advise us on how to find out. I ask that one of you folks that still live in Woodland could check & see. 🆗?  Thanks, Bill

Hey! That looks like my Dad's ol' Ford Ranchero that I used to get to borrow once in awhile. I remember I could barely see over that humongous steering wheel!  I'm sure there were others like it around but it brought a smile to my face to see this one. Thanks.

Mike Miller (1966)

Hey Jenny, I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to make it sound like by memories are still in tact.

This car (pictured above) belongs to the Jacksons and will be in the Christmas parade this Saturday.

Theresa Eve (1964)

Love the classic Red and White, Ranchero, Ford!  In the Woodland Christmas Parade!  Are there any other classic cars in the Parade?  I remember how lovely the Woodland Christmas Parades were in the olden days.  Hope someone can take a few pictures of the parade to share.  It always marked the real season of Christmas in Woodland.  Or, maybe a few of those classic Woodland homes decorated for Christmas would add to our viewing! We finally have some rain today!!!!  Keep it coming!!!

Aileen Jull (Martinez) (1964)

When is the Christmas Parade in Woodland scheduled?

Theresa Eve (1964)

I think the paper said it is scheduled for this Saturday, Dec. 12th at 10:00 a.m.,  hope this is right. 

Pam Wohlfrom (Johnson) (1969)

The Woodland Parade was yesterday..Sat, the 12th. This is the Mass Band of Woodland and Pioneer High Schools plus Lee and Douglass Middle Schools. 

Pam Wohlfrom (Johnson) (1969)

It's It's a really really big band and sound. 

Pam Wohlfrom (Johnson) (1969)

Quite an impressive "Gang"...in the best sense of the word!

Theresa Eve (1964)

Pam:  Thank you for the Band pictures of the Woodland Parade. 

Pam Wohlfrom (Johnson) (1969)

Well shoot!  I thought I loaded 3 diff pix. I will try again!

Working in the Music Booster Booth we don't see much of the parade but I always get to the curb for the Gang!

Theresa Eve (1964)

Getting ready for Christmas with the house decorated and now moving into the kitchen to start the traditional gingerbread people, this was started in 1964 and has been something I do each year.  Just made up the dough and ready to roll them out tomorrow.  I am sure other people have a tradition they do each Christmas to add to the cheer.  Let's see what you do.  Merry Christmas !

Tuni Gravink (House) (1964)

Theresa,

We put up the Christmas Village each year. We started with a church and a bank , and put each one on one of our Infinity speakers. Next year we said we need a house , and so the tradition went on, along with making Pizelles, and having a Christmas Open House each year. We are on year number 23  of the open house and year number 20 of the village.  We  do a dinner for about 10 of our neighbors now , each year.  I always go up higher in the mountains after Christmas to see the snow, and pine trees. I live in the valley in AZ. so not too much snow (some on Four Peaks right now, i can see it right out of my kitchen window) and maybe about ten pine trees in the area, one is in my backyard.Other than that; it is a four day weekend for us and of course, the real reason for Christmas is why we celebrate it . Merry Christmas to all. Tuni

Theresa E. I forgot to say my grandmother always made Gingerbread cookies every Christmas, and those of yours look delicious and they are decorated so nicely too. I had a hankering for Gingerbread cookies. Tuni

Theresa Eve (1964)

Tuni:  I gues Gingerbread people are just a part of Christmas.  Great to hear what your family did and continue to do for the Christmas Spirit.  Closing for the night; but up early to continue the project.
