Debbie and Frankie are supplying the briskets, so a head-count is needed to ensure there will be enough. Guests are asked to bring a side dish, and lawn chairs if you have them. If you are a member of facebook you can RSVP there on the event page IN HONOR OF JAMEY COWAN, or call Becky Clepper @ 713-702-3513 to also RSVP.

Email We have just been informed of the tragic death of Brian Rhone. From information I've heard he was riding a motorcycle with a passenger on the back. The accident claimed the life of Brian and the passenger is in critical condition. Many of you may remember the Rhone family as they were very much a part of THS. Mrs. Betty Rhone was the librarian for Tomball Jr. High for many years. His father, Mr. Jimmy Rhone worked at the tax office. Both of his sisters, Rhonda and Donna are also alumni. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this difficult time. Brian was a graduate of the class of 1980.
As I find out more information on the services I will keep you fellow alumni informed.
I'm sorry I don't know off-hand what year he graduated. If anyone from his class can post this up, it would be great....

If there is anyone that wants to buy raffle tickets, they can contact my parents, Charles and Delorse Posinski at 936-873-2113. The raffle tickets will also be on sale that day. There is also an account set up at Guaranty Federal Bank in Tomball under Dale’s name for this benefit if any one wants to donate . Dale Posinski is 29 years old, and born and raised in Tomball, Texas. Dale is a THS graduate and loves to drive race cars, hunt, and watch football. Dale has been diagnosed with Chron's disease. Chron's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the digestive/gastrointestinal tract. Dale has the worst form of the disease and at times can be very debilitating. Since he has been diagnosed it has made it impossible for him to consistently work due to hospital stays and receiving blood and maintain health and medical benefits. The doctors are still unsure if Dale will need to undergo surgery to remove scar tissue.
Please plan to attend the benefit and show the Cougar Spirit, if you are unable to attend please send a donation to help defray some of the medical costs of this disease.
And as always please continue to pray for Dale and his family as they battle this disease.
In the Cougar Spirit,
Becky Clepper
