JOE MCDOUGAL Hi Paula, I saw your post at the 1962 class website. Just wondering if you're related to Joe McDougal? If so, he & I were classmates & I was wondering where he's at now. -Bill Lamkins, class of '60 (5/19/04) Hi Bill, Yes, I am Joe's younger sister. He is living in VA now. Just moved there a few months ago. He called yesterday and said he loves it there. Quite a change from Las Vegas where he lived from the time he got out of the navy. I'll tell him you were asking about him. -Paula McDougal (5/20/04) What made him leave Las Vegas after so many years? I'd appreciate his email address, if he has one. -Bill Lamkins (5/22/04) Joe hasn't given me his e-mail yet. I just think that he was getting tired of the Vegas lifestyle - not meaning he lived it. When I call him I will give him your address. -Paula McDougal (5/23/04) I have sold realestate for years and am not ready to quit. Enjoy every one I work with. I have 6 grandchilden ranging from 21 to 6 weeks. My brother still lives in Malvern and he has breakfast with Joe McDougal every morning. Did you know he has lung cancer? -Ann Fite Daniell (1/22/10) Posted at Facebook by Nell R. Snyder Just received a call from Joe McDougal - he is now cancer free! Is coming to the reunion. This is great news. Ann Fite Daniell - So good to hear. Martha Koury - Am so glad to hear that--looking forward to seeing him!

Here's a pic of Joe and me from Oct 1958. -Bill Lamkins (8/18/10) Do you know if Joe is still on Facebook, can't seem to find him heard he was ot doing good and wanted to send him a message. -June Tanner Porter (3/10/11) No, have not heard from him and he never answered my Facebook friend request. I had an email last year before the reunion: Let me know what you find out. -Bill Lamkins (3/10/11) Have you checked on Joe McDougal lately. My brother Mike said he did not think he was doing very good. -Ann Fite Daniell (3/10/11) Haven't heard from Joe since before the reunion. Let me know if you find out anything. -Bill Lamkins (3/10/11) My brother said Hospice has been called and a matter of time. Wish there was something we could do for him. Will let you know if I hear anything else. -Ann Fite Daniell (3/11/11) Bill Lamkins on Facebook: I got word from Ann Fite Daniell that Joe McDougal is in bad health. Keep him in your thoughts.

Hope everything is gong well for you. -Ann Fite Daniell (3/18/11) When I called to talk to Joe yesterday he did not know who I was. He gave the phone to the doctor. Have you talked with him. I sent his sister Paula a mesage last nite. -Ann Fite Daniell (4/6/11) Thanks for the update. I never talked to him but sent a get-well card. What is the health issue? Did his cancer return? -Bill Lamkins (4/6/11) Yes, I think it is just a matter of time. -Ann Fite Daniell (4/7/11) Just wantedto let you know Joe called today.

Snyder (5/20/11) I was just thinking about him and that I had not written to him yet. I am so ashamed. -Faye Clark (5/20/11) I'm so sorry to hear that. It seems the pace of our classmate losses is quickening: Kenny Lindvall, Frank Hartsell, Elaine Townley and Earl Prince since last December. -Bill Lamkins (5/20/11) Just read a note from Joe McDougal's sister on Facebook that Joe passed away this morning. So sad that we are loosing so many of our classmates. Nell R. Snyder (5/23/11) This is too sad. I just sent him a card yesterday. Do you know what was wrong with him?
