Bernice was Mother of the Year in Dallas several years ago and we all went to the luncheon. She and Brudus Meyerson were like our second parents to so many students at Paschal High School.

 

When we were finished playing B Team football at Paschal our sophomore year, we decided to have a beer bust since we had won the Fort Worth B Team Championship. We commissioned Don Herman, our team manager, to get the beer. Well, he got the Pearl Beer and had it in the trunk of his car that Friday morning. Coach Turner found out about the "To Be Beer Bust" and made Don tell him where the beer was hidden. Well you know the rest of the story, the team was in serious trouble and faced the fear of Coach Turner's paddle and guess what, we were awarded that privilege. For years we never knew who squealed or who took the beer. We finally found out at one of our class reunions. After Don told us, we always kidded Don at our next class reunions that we wanted our beer .  After Don died, his family gave us six Pearl Beer twelve packs at the family and friends get-to-gather after the funeral and advised Bubba Guantt, Jerry Brooks and me that Don want us to finally get the Pearl Beer after he was gone. We finally got our beer but Don got the final trick on the team!
