Willie Frances (Groves)
Schlaeger Family
Born Sept. 3, 1923, third daughter of Richard
and Nora (Parks) Groves. Both of my parents
came to the Panhandle with their families
when they were young.
It's hard sometimes for youngsters to visualize
their parents as anything but parents.
One of my most startling memories is of playing
"dress up", asking Mama about a lovely
belt that lacked 3 inches going around my
waist and her statement that it was the belt to
her wedding dress
18 inches! Suddenly I
could see my parents as "young folks".
I was born in the house where my mother
grew up-built by her parents, William and
Adella Parks-and was named after both
Grandfather Parks and Papa (Frank Groves).
I went to school at Pringle, Morse and Stinnett,
graduated from Stinnett in 1940. Alma
and Merle, my older sisters, were just enough
older that we had no school years together.
Ida Mae, 17 months younger is in all my memories
of those years. She and I, with J.R. and
Ruby Jean rode the school bus to Pringle
through the dust storm years.
Ida Mae and I went to business college in
Amarillo in 1941. And then there was Pearl
Harbor, Dec. 1941. I imagine everyone of my
age remembers exactly what they were doing
when they heard that announced. I was on my
way down to Aunt Blanches, why I don't
remember.
I went to work for Civil Service, Washington
D.C. shortly thereafter, the next year I transferred
to Dallas and the following year transferred
back to Amarillo. I was working there
when I met Jack H. Schlaeger, a Sgt. in the Air
Force, we were married March 8, 1945 in
Amarillo. Our oldest daughter, Jackie Lynn,
was born Feb. 16, 1947 while we were livingwith Jack's parents, Henry and Mary Schlaeger
in Euclid, Ohio where my husband grew
up. In 1947 we bought land in Willoughby,
Ohio and started building on it. Our oldest
son, Henry Richard, was born Sept. 8, 1949
while we were living in an apartment in Euclid.
Susan Kay, born June 28, 1952 was four
months old when we moved to Willoughby, in
November of 1952. Our youngest son,
Michael Lee was born 5 years later on November
1, 1957.
Jackie married David Pesta of Eastlake,
Ohio in July 1969 and has given us two
grandchildren. David Michael, born Nov. 17,
1970, has the red hair of his great grandmother's
(Parks) family. Suzanne Marie, born Feb.
12, 1974, an unusually lovely and lively child.
Henry attended Kent State University and is
now living in Alaska.
Susan took secretarial training, has worked
as a bank secretary and is now living in southern
Texas.
Michael was in the service, is now working
in Lake County while furthering his education.
Our children are now grown and I recently
had the opportunity to have an extended visit
with my parents and to get reacquainted with
the people and places in the Panhandle.
The Gene Schneider Family
My father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. George
Schneider, came to Phillips during World War
II, where my dad worked at the refinery. They
had three children, Gerald, the oldest, myself,
and a daughter, Irene. Irene went to school in
Canyon.
Gerald and I came to Borger after being discharged
from the service at the end of World
War II. We tried several things before deciding
to do brickwork. We worked as partners for
several years and together laid more than five
million brick in the Borger area. In 1951 the
Borger Rotary Club inducted me as a new
member. About this time I met Corrine Wilson,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Wilson, who at
that time was the dealer for the Studebaker. In
June, 1952 Corrine and I were married in the
old First Methodist Church on the hill on Hedgecoke.
Time passed and we became the parents
of two good girls, Denise and Lisa. Wethought about that for a while and decided
that we should have a boy or two, and we did.
They are Seth and Todd. Now when someone
asks if we have children, we can answer,
"Yes, two good girls and two normal boys."
Our daughters married boys who grew up
in Borger. Denise attended Oral Roberts University
in Tulsa and between her Junior and
Senior year married Steven Rogers, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Harold Rogers. He had just graduated
from T.C.U. After Denise graduated they
moved to Kentucky, where Steven attended
and graduated from Asbury Theological Seminary
and got some valuable training in ministering
to those less fortunate than most of us,
and are enjoying very much their first assignment
with the Methodist Church and are
actively working with the young people of
their church.
Lisa married Bruce Gillispie, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Norman Gillispie while he was attending
West Texas State University. He is now
employed with Phillips Petroleum doing
switching, gauging and blending and Lisa is
working in the bookkeeping department of
Minton's Flowers. We are glad they live in Borger
and find them a real joy to us.
Our third son, Seth, had found it necessary
to try his wings in several directions and is
working for Phillips Petroleum Company at
Philblack. His greatest love seems to be Harley
Davidson Motorcycles and girls, in no particular
order, and we have high hopes for him
and that he will continue to do the right thing.
Our youngest son, Todd, finished high
school and is now employed at the Phillips
Petroleum Company Sanford Gasoline Plant.
We understand how things work. Early this
year he told me that Lisa Bandiera, daughter
of Peggy Bandiera, and a friend of Todd's for
some time, was going to marry him on the following
Saturday. Before I could recover from
the shock, he said "Dad, will you perform the
ceremony?", and I heard myself saying "You
bet." I was extremely proud that he would ask
me to marry them until I got to thinking, "You
know, that skunk might just be trying to save
ten dollars." Either way we had a lovely family
wedding with Denise coming home from Kentucky
and Seth coming from Corpus Christi.
This week Lisa presented us with a fine eight
pound boy, Shannon Michael Schneider who
obviously may some day become president.
