I know that I am replying to an old post here but Denny was drafted by the Royals and I think he may have made made it as far as their AAA team in Omaha. He worked on the dock at LeeWay in the off season. Once I remember watching Darrell in a playoff game on TV, he had a pretty bad season that year and one of the announcers started talking about the Royals trading Darrell and bringing Denny up. I don't really know what happened to Denny's career. Jimmy was my freshman science teacher at SE and I sold cars with Eddie for a time.
OKAY....I gotta set some of this straight. I grew up next door to the Porter's. Jimmy graduated with me. Darrell was 2 years younger and he had 2 younger brothers, Eddy and Denny, and an older sister, Pat. Darrell signed with the Brewers out of high school in 1970, then later went to KC, St. Louis, and Texas. He was the MVP of the 1982 World Series. He did not commit suicide. He died on Aug. 5, 2002, when his heart stopped due to "excited delirium". I don't remember any of the other three Porter boys being drafted in the minors. Eddy went on to play football at East Central and Denny played baseball for Central State.

Their mother, Mae Porter, died at the end of October last year, and father, Ray, died less than 2 months later right before Christmas. I attended both funerals.

Again I'm replying to an ancient post but yes it was Bob Gaarrett before Bob Mills.
Didn't Bob Garrett have that funiture store before Bob Mills?

You can't get an alum from either school to attend a sporting event.

I never knew that about Denny... interesting. That's why we like newbies on this forum... they read all our old posts and give us new information we didn't know or just add their own 2 cents to our comments. Love it!!!!!

you're pretty close...On the S.W. corner of 29th & Agnew there was a smal strip shopping area. In 1964 backwards there were three stores...Tag Agency/TG&Y/and a Drug Store. Just to the east of them was a small cafe...I want to say it was Shipman's at one time. On the S.W. Corner there was an on and off again cafe.....on the N.W. corner a small convenient store. But, it wasn't there until they quit the Skating Rink. Ellen's was just south of Geno's...a little diner. The Agnew hardware store was on about 23rd and Agnew and the building is a "Junk" store now. My grand dad's "girlfriend" use to live right across the street from The Agnew Theater/Harley world....

The store between 27th and 28th (eastside) that I worked at was Maddy's as I said but we weren't a traditional hardware store. We sold freight damaged appliances, lumber,etc
The racks out back held lumber at the time I worked there. We sold carpet too. Maddy had a deal with Santa Fe rail and we would buy freight damaged goods but we would have to go pick them up off the railcar wherever they ended up after the load had shifted,etc whatever had caused the goods to be damaged. Our biggest draw were the appliances that might have a dent or chipped paint,etc. I have no idea how long he was there after I left in 70 or 71. Maddy also leased the warehouse type building behind the western wear place north of the bank, 12th or 13th maybe?

Did Denny not injure a kidney as the result of a collision during a game? I want to say he hit a backstop really hard.

Wrong Papa... I'll be at the Grant Capitol Hill game (if you'll find

The only guy eligible (first string) to play was o0ne of the TOP players in OKC schools and it was only because he had a doctor's appointment.

Southeast was cheating. I was there and saw everything.
Gen64 & the Mrs. were there too. We have witnesses.
I think the guy in the ambulance was knifed or shot in the
head 6 or 7 times.

I wonder how much it cost to get the refs on your side. I did see one of the refs taking a drink from one of the Southeast trainers...What do you think????....they (the refs) need to get some velcro though....every time a play would start they would drop those little yellow pieces of cloth.....Southeast even had a player with Yellow Shoes...Right Prunepicker....

Yeah! Yellow shoes. He was disgustingly talented. He really
knew how to cheat and not get caught. I think Grant would
have done better if half the team wasn't in handcuffs.

Not as popular as years ago. CHHS had them last season but not any the first game this year.

I don't jmark, but thank you for putting some life back in this thread!!!! How far back in the day are you talking about? Where was it located? We've got some "bar guys" on here that probably remember it.... LOL!!!!

I wish I remembered better...seems like just NW of the center of Moore now--it was so much different then...I lived in Norman at the time--and Moore was a small town and the only place with stoplights on I-35 back then...I am as old as dirt...I used to see dinosaurs east of Norman as a kid...Debonair was around in the early-mid 60's...known as the prinicipal place where fake ID's were usually passable...

Also--might be that the thread is a little thinner now--because--most of us who might remember are dead! Ha!

OK Gens64 watch out on making fun of us cheerleaders..... as I recall YOU married one!!!!!! Oh yeah.... she was a Grant cheerleader.... no difference in us back in the 60's except the color of our uniforms and how big and tall we could get our hair!!! LOL!!!!

I still think one of the most interesting things we learned on this thread was that Prairie Queen school originally was a brick building on the NE corner of 59th & Western. It was shut down by the health department because they had no running water or inside toilets.... later the school opened in it's current location on S. Blackwelder. Also, reading all the newspaper articles about the Capitol Hill Golf Course that was directly south of CHHS where the housing addition and Sears are currently located. We've dug up tons of stuff in the past couple of years.

I agree and the fact that I have found some CHHS and Southeast that are real blows my mind. How about the fact that Capitol Hill area was in fact thought of for the placement of the State Capitol.? or, that there really are nice people from the Northside?....I have thoroughly enjoyed All of this thread as well as the others. I wics TeriOKC would show up though and you especially with the Southeast Homecoming corsage...that brought tears to my eyes and also to Prunepicker's. Yeah, I married a Grant Cheerleader and am still with her 45 years later......yee-ha

The Debonair Lounge (Debonair Club) as I remember it was on 89th street just west of shields. It's now a place they race R/C cars, south side of the street. I remember at one time people started "streaking" (naked) out the door at closing time on Saturday nights.. I started going every Saturday night for about a year, no need to get there until about 11:45. That was one cold winter!

YES! That is the one...89th west of Shields...I just remember how it was easy to get into with my fake ID (remember the good old days when OK licenses had a yellow box with the two-digit year in it...the yellow was supposed to prevent using the blue boxes on the other numbers--but--I was an *expert* at half-thickness razor slicing and re-pasting in the "49" into a "46" by turning the "9" upside down...most of my friends were 49ers--it would even pass the flashlight test with flying colors...) it was a sure bet if one was looking for some action late...hence...the crowd really grew after 11pm when most guys had enough booze in them to be bold...ha! I do remember a raid there one night and all the people trying to get up into the ceiling area via the suspended tiles on the ceiling--and falling through all over...hilarious--even the cops were laughing..

Mr. Buck, I had a bad experience with a salesman and never
walked through the door again.

Emmer Bros. Had an awful black suit from there. I wore it to
a gig once and Prunette said I'll never wear it again.

Robert Hall. Oh yeah. That's where I learned that suits were
supposed to be uncomfortable and that dress shirts were
supposed to choke you or they were too loose.

Myrtle Lodge. I was a member and went to many dances
and social occasions.

Swats were a daily way of life for me.

Basketball? What's that.

I found an ad for a place called the "Colonial Cafe" that was at 1st & Broadway in 1923. And then found another ad in 1966 for "Wade's Colonial Cafeteria" at 320 N. Robinson in the First National Bldg. Either one of them what you're looking for?

Robert Hall was where men took their young boys if they wanted them to embrace a blue-collar lifestyle...they had awful little torture-suits that aesthetically would turn a freight train down a dirt road...the one in S.

Billy and his brother Warren were both good friends of the family. Both pretty tough guys....Billy was quite a Vietnam Hero and then Warren was a Sate Champion Wrestler in his high School days. I think Warren graduated in 1965 and Billy in 1968.....Good choice...Thanks DOT....

I almost bought a small amount of manteca today at WallyWorld...just to have for those things that really require pork fat. Most chefs call it the most essential thing in a kitchen--Julia Child did. They way it deals with the starch in flour makes all the difference in the world--especially biscuits and pie crust. Vegetable shortening is a poor substitute for many things...
