I find your page on the Web interesting. I am a
first cousin of Bob Culver, his mother and my mother were sisters,
their maiden name was McDaniel. We have visited Cimarron many, many
times, enjoy eating at the Blue Jay with Sandy and Gary and are amazed
at how Cimarron has grown since the 1940's. Thank you for making this
town, a part of my family history, available through modern
technology! Coral Meier Yakel,
Loveland, CO. Glad you found
it. I suppose you already know this but I am Pat Culver's nephew.
Charlie Thomas was my dad. Be sure and look over the entire site when
you can. I just added a new link to a song written and performed by a
former local. Allen Bailey has written and performed "The Streets of
Cimarron".
Click here to enjoy. It takes a
little time to load but is well worth the wait. Pete.

I was just checking sites for Cimarron, Kansas
out of general interest after having met three of your local residents
while hunting in New Mexico this past fall. Their kindness and the
demeanor about them have left a lasting and memorable impression with
me. Something which I just can't forget. I just wanted to get an
idea to see what their home territory was like and get a better
picture in my mind as to where they came from. If most of you folks
are made of the same character, it must be one terrific spot in this
country of ours. Roby Backensto.
Roby, I think most of us feel we would
be on the same level as you have witnessed. Thanks to the three
individuals that conducted themselves in such a manner. However, it
makes me stop and think about a few times when I have not been that
way. Hopefully I did not give my hometown's name on those occasions
and hopefully they were few. I will now try to be a better emissary
for the community after receiving your comments. I have requested
more information from Roby. If someone knows more let me know. Pete.
Roby!!!!! Found your guys. Steve Dewey,
Todd Unruh and Jacob Dumler.
Thanks Guys.

Hi Pete.
I stumbled onto your website today and wanted to tell
you that it is nice that someone has taken the time to do such a great
service for good ole CHS and the community. It would be nice if each
class could get together an email list so we could contact one
another. There are many that I haven't seen since high school. Is
your sister Jo back in California? Does she have an email address? I
live in Carthage Missouri now, having moved from Texas 2 years ago
where I lived for 17 years. I wanted to get closer to family in SW
Kansas. Does Tommy know where Charles Daniel is living; I think he
was in his class. Thanks and keep up the good work. Butch Denton.
jayhawk@4state.com.
Good to hear from you Butch. Jo is
still in Cimarron as well as Tom and I. I will email you with
Charlie's address as it is in the homecoming directory. I am not
putting addresses or emails on unless requested. I am working on a
new senior picture format that will allow a better view of each
individual that I hope to have done by next homecoming in three
years. It is a massive undertaking as I am going to put every year
from 1925 in Cimarron and 1928 from Ensign in the page. I do have
1965 and 1966 done as well as 1992 thru 2003.
Click Here to see your class and your
picture. Let me know if you want you vitals listed. Just click at
the top of that page. Thanks for the kind words also. Pete.

Hello! I graduated
from Cimarron in 1995 and have been in the Navy ever since and what a
great way to catch up on what is going on at home since I don't get
back there very much especially since I will be spending the next
three years in Pearl Harbor Hawaii. Keep up the good work.

Tough duty Robert
but someone has to do it. Keep up the good work too. Pete.

Dear Mr. Thomas, I was looking around your site
for two purposes: I wanted to see what you had about Homecoming two
weeks ago and I was looking at it thinking about using it as a site
for my middle school students to go to practice evaluating the quality
of a site. I just wanted you to know that I really enjoyed the photos
you have from Homecoming! I played around looking at different ones
and it brought back some fun memories for me. I also wanted you to
know how impressed I am with the quality of your site! Links work, it
is updated frequently (I've checked it out different times through the
year) its' colorful, and has lots of interesting connections to it!
Congratulations on a job well done! Would you mind if I use it at a
site for my students to check out and to try to identify what makes it
a good resource? It is not often that I find one that has so many
good qualities and is from Kansas! (and has no questionable links!)
I appreciate your hard work and devotion to keeping it up! Thanks
again! Dolly Brown Reece (would have been) Class of 1970,
though Cimarron is Home. So Long For Now! Dolly Brown Reece
(Darlene) I have been talking to
Dolly for a day or two and she is the sister of one of my classmates
and friend Larry Brown and two more school mates and friends Alan and
Wayne Brown. Thanks for the kind words Dolly. I invited my self to
talk to her classes about my site and she called my bluff and agreed
to have me come by. Perhaps some day I will get the nerve and stop
by. She lives close to two of my children so I may some day just do
it.

Thanks for the excellent pictures of homecoming 2003. Jack and I were
there this year and had a grand time visiting with former classmates.
The parade was fun to watch, but we were especially taken with all the
different tractors. We loved that addition. Just wanted you to know
I really keep up with your web page and don't thank you often enough.
Yvonne Bryan Parsons (class of '47)
Thanks for the note. I wish I could take credit for
the tractors since they were John Deere's but most of them belonged to
Roger Vandergiesen. The one pulling the trailer with the Robertson
clan is owned by Leo Robertson.

I was looking around in your lost
and found and noticed that you were looking for Mike Smith Class of
95'. If I remember correctly, you can go to classmates.com and his
bio is in there. Hope that helps. I did want to add that I copied
the pictures of the Jack Rabbits to show my 5th grade class at
Williamsburg Elementary. They were amazed at how high they can jump,
and some of them even thought that I had digitally enhanced one of
them, until I showed them the date on the picture. (HA HA) Thanks
again for all the great memories. Just wanted to say hello and how
much I enjoyed looking at the website. You guys have done an
outstanding job.
Eryn Steinkuehler DeMoss.
Thanks Eryn, I will take a
look and see if I can find him. Use any of the pictures you want any
time. Pete.

for putting this together. My maiden name is Evelyn McGuire. That is

Pete: My name is Charley Thomas II and I took
care of your dad and mother when he was at Wesley hospital in the
1970's. My dad was Charley Thomas and he was born in Cimarron and I
believe he was a third cousin of you dad. Anyway, I work with Karen
Rumsey (Foulks) and she was born and raised in your town and knows you
very well. I have a son and of course his name is Charley Thomas
III. Just thought I would drop you a line. I believe we are about
the same age. we drive through Cimarron a lot because my mother in
law lives in Syracuse, KS. E mail me if you want at
cthomas20@cox.net. Charley Thomas
II. What
a small world and yes I do know Karen very well but am surprised she
will admit she knows me. Not really, she knows more about me than
most and more than she should tell. Tell her hi and that she got
moved back to #2 after I met my wife. That is not a bad thing and she
will know what I mean. Pete.

Hi, Pete. This is a great web site! I
discovered it back in March and have visited several times since. I'm
in Albuquerque and haven't been "home" to Cimarron for many years so
it's great to visit your web page. I'd love to hear from anyone. My
e-mail address is:
textkeeper@msn.com.
Tanya (Torline) Mendoza, Class of 1988. P.S. I tried to submit this
from the guest book but the server wouldn't let me.
Hi Tanya, sorry about the guest page
link not working. I think I have it fixed now but if not I will keep
working on it. Great to hear from you and I will list your email
address on my email page. Pete.

Hi Pete,
It's your lovely future daughter-in-law, Meredith. The website looks
great! It's a lot better than Phil's, and he's a programmer! I tried
to sign your guestbook, but I couldn't. So I just emailed you. There
really is a lot of information in there. I got a lot of help for my
community paper assignment. Thanks for all the great information,
I'll talk to you soon, Meredith.
Thanks Meredith. For those who are
unaware my Number 2 son Phil will be marrying Meredith in October.
The little family keeps growing and we are very pleased to have
Meredith join it.

Hey Pete, this is Vicki. I grew up in Cimarron
and made my big move. I would like to be updated on the weather there
due to the fact I moved to Canada and my mom and dad live there along
with my sister. I really like what you did, it is helpful when you're
homesick. lol. Well, you take care and I hope to talk to you again
soon. Again, great job. Vicki (Rowh) MacLean.
Good to hear from you Vicki. For the
weather just use my links on the homepage and you will get great local
reports. Pete.

Hello, I was looking at your web sight. I used
to live out in Cimarron. You have a lot of neat pictures of snow in
57. The house you show 4 blocks west of main st. looks like our old
house. It was 301 West Ave. A. Let me know if it is... Thanks Liz
Hibbs. I will do some checking
Liz. That house was next door to us and we lived four blocks west of
main so 301 could be right. Thanks for the note.
