Famed photographer has work brought to life in film By David Mullen
“I first photographed Muhammad Ali when he was still Cassius Clay — in Miami in 1964 before his first world title fight against Sonny Liston. Ali was a great subject and a superb athlete. He was intelligent and full of fun — like the time he called himself ‘more beautiful than Paul’ when I photographed him with the Beatles in Miami. He was terrific.” — Harry Benson
david@katytrailweekly.com The 46th annual USA Film Festival is April 20-24 at the Angelika Film Center in Mockingbird Station. As always, the event is a celebration to film. But one of this year’s highlighted films is a celebration of photography. “Harry Benson: Shoot First” — a documentary of the life of famed Scot photographer Harry Benson — will be presented on Saturday, April 23 at 7:15 p.m. Benson will be in attendance, and the presentation will be moderated by Waco native actress Peri Gilpin, known for her local theater work in Dallas and her role in the popular television show “Fraiser.” Benson’s extensive portfolio includes iconic images of 11 presidents, Winston Churchill, Bobby Fischer, Muhammad Ali, Greta Garbo, Michael Jackson, Dr.

Martin Luther King, Jr. and the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. But he may be most well known for his many photographs of the Beatles, which first brought Benson to America. “It was fun — the music was so incredible,” Benson said. “The Beatles were witty and smart and talented, and above all they were young — in their early 20s. Their music changed the way people felt about music, and their hair and clothes changed the

BOOK SIGNING
Author’s first race was a White House experience By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com Dana Ayers is a woman on the run. Literally. She is in Dallas this weekend to promote her book “Confessions of an Unlikely Runner (A Guide to Racing and Obstacle Courses for the Averagely Fit and Halfway Dedicated)” and Photos courtesy of to participate in a Dana Ayers Author Dana Ayers. reunion of staffers who worked for her old boss, the 43rd President of the United States George W. Bush. Ayers grew up in Washington State — “the other Washington” she said — and then moved to Tennessee, studied
near Knoxville and got a master’s degree from Johns Hopkins. An internship at the White House was part of her studies, and then she was hired full time as an aide. “I just never left D.C.,” Ayers said. Her first full day as an intern was Sept. 10, 2001, the day before a date that remains infamous in American history. “9/11 was my second day, which was crazy,” Ayers said. Her first role was in an initiative office designed to maximize philanthropic and community service opportunities by providing grants. She later moved to the Office of Management and Budget and then the Office of Homeland Security. It was while at the White House that she became “an accidental runner.” “He
[Bush] was an avid runner … a six-minute miler,” Ayers recalled. “He created a race for the White House staff. I had never run before. I did it because it was a novel experience. So my first race was with the president, the First Lady, Condoleezza Rice, and so on.” Single, in her 30s and a self-proclaimed ambassador of slow runners, Ayers has since competed in dozens of endurance challenges and calls herself “a slow, but determined runner.” She participated in a 1,000-mile relay for Boston Marathon bombing victims. “I am not naturally athletic,” Ayers said. Her book is a compilation of her running exploits in D.C. and beyond. see RACE on page 4

USA FILM FESTIVAL
If you’ve never heard the pipes on the incomparable Dallas actress Denise Lee, you’re in for more than a treat. Lee is a force to be reckoned with as legendary Bessie Smith in “The Empress, the Lady and the Pearl, Part 1,” at Theatre Too through May 1. If you’ve always been a fan of Bessie Smith, order tickets now. Otherwise, Janis Joplin was always an acquired taste, and Marisa Diotalevi opens the show as the barefoot rocker, looking as though she hasn’t had sleep or a shower in a week with authenticity. Joplin is indelibly fixed in the memories of baby boomers, who watched her short rise and fall, accompanied by alcohol and drugs. It’s been reported that in her final interview Sept. 30, 1970, Joplin said, “In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn’t like me.” That theme of self-hatred and despair is evident in Diotalevi’s non-stop motion, never without a drink in her hand, and often two. She sings along with some of her favorite Bessie Smith LPs and thinks she’s dreaming when a

RACE cont'd from page 1 Not an everyday runner, it is being with people that keep her jogging. “I fell in love with races,” Ayers said. “It keeps me in good enough shape to run in races. I related to the casual runners.” She references bonding with many of the slow runners in a race. “I fell in love with the sense of community,” Ayers said. “I am a big fan of adventures. And I think it is the adventurous part that keeps me running.” Her adventures have included mud runs, obstacles courses and races. Today, Ayers is a writer, communications consultant for the government and military reservist. She is the author of the humor blog DCDana.com, where she shares her adventures in work, travel, dating, and, of course, running. This weekend, she will spend time with former Washington D.C. colleagues and hopes to share her book with the former president — the person who introduced her to running — at a Saturday night event at the George W. Bush Presidential Center on the SMU campus. After all, he is mentioned in her book. On Thursday, April 14, Dana Ayers will be signing her book Confessions of an Unlikely Runner (A Guide to Racing and Obstacle Courses for the Averagely Fit and Halfway Dedicated) at the 6th Street Bar at 3005 Routh St. after a early evening run on the Katy Trail.

Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn.
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com Never know how much I love you. Never know how much I care. Dallas Stars fans are singing “Fever” all over town. Not only has the team done their job by qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs that begin this week, they have clinched home-ice advantage in the Western Conference for the playoffs. Stanley Cup fever is back in Dallas. Now is the time to break a sweat. How long can the fever last? The Stars gave fans reason to believe that a long playoff run is ahead by finishing the season 9-2-0 despite battling through late season injuries. They clinched top spots in the Central Division and in the West. But they did so in a rather unorthodox manner. They still don’t have a number one goalie. They figure they have two number one goalies. Some feel they have two number two goalies. That is a problem when facing the long grind of the
Stanley Cup playoffs. A case — albeit weak — can be made that by alternating goalies Kari Lehtonen and Antti Niemi, the Stars could be stronger later in the playoffs. But the fact is in the National Hockey League playoffs, teams ride the back of one hot goalie. Remember how Eddie Belfour played the only time the Stars won a Stanley Cup championship? It is the reason that a division opponent like the Chicago Blackhawks (three Stanley Cups in six years) and conference foes like the Los Angeles Kings (with Jonathan Quick in goal) and the Anaheim Ducks (a blistering team heading to the playoffs) don’t worry about seeding as much building to the playoffs and finding the searing net-minder. The Stars should have little problem dispatching their first round opponents, the Minnesota Wild. The Wild are short on scorers, which may be just the perfect prescription for Dallas to use two goalies and keep

the fever high. The Stars are much more offense-minded, and should take advantage of Wild unreliable goalie Devan Dubnyk. Stars center Tyler Seguin doesn’t have to rush back from an Achilles injury. The Stars have plenty of offense led by Jamie Benn. Jason Spezza can score, and Patrick Sharp (ex-Blackhawk) was acquired in the off-season for these types of moments. Young defenseman John Klingberg — at 23 — is an assist-making machine. Both Lehtonen and Niemi had 25 regular season wins. Their goals against averages are virtually the same. Which goalie gets the most playing time against the Wild probably won’t matter. But then the Blackhawks or St. Louis Blues lie ahead. The challenge becomes much greater and questionable goaltending becomes exploited. This is the first of what shapes up to be many playoff appearances for the Stars in the future. Today’s

team has very little issue making decisions on offense. Too bad they are in a position where they can’t make a decision in goal. Unfortunately, that means that the fever won’t last long. *** Once again, Major League Baseball has to be vilified for their decisions on regular season openers. Absolutely no case can be made for two dome teams — Toronto and Tampa — to open against each other. The Los Angeles Dodgers played in San Diego, two warm weather climates. San Francisco played Milwaukee in domed Miller Park. Both could have opened the season at home. Seattle left domed Safeco Field to open in Arlington. The Houston Astros, with domed Minute Maid Park vacant, were postponed by weather in New York at Yankee Stadium. Cleveland had two games postponed in the first week because of precipitation. Hopefully schedule makers will use better judgment in 2017. Or at least consult Al Roker. *** The groans you heard from TV rooms and sports bars around Dallas on Sunday centered around the collapse of young Jordan Spieth on the back nine at the 2016 Masters. No surprise that Spieth handled his failure with class and humility. Instead of watching tape of opposing defenses next season, maybe Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton might want to watch how Spieth conducted himself after Sunday’s round. After this year’s Super Bowl loss, it is evident that Newton has a lot to learn about decorum.

RESTAURANT REVIEW
Taqueria translates into unique food By Sara Newberry One of the fun things about a cuisine or dish becoming more “mainstream,” is seeing what it becomes in the hands of a creative kitchen. It’s happened most recently with ramen, and it’s happened several times over with tacos. Resident Taqueria is the latest in the long taqueria tradition to revisit the classics and come up with new and interesting versions of otherwise familiar dishes. Sure, you’ll find chorizo and guacamole, but the chorizo is house-made and topped with smoked tomato crema, and the guacamole arrives at the table with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds. Open since October of last year, Resident Taqueria is the brainchild of Chef Andrew Savoie, who, after moving to Lake Highlands, realized that there wasn’t a local taqueria he could pop into whenever the mood struck. So he decided to open his own. Chef Savoie’s background is in fine dining, working in kitchens such as Bouchon in California and Jean-Georges in New York. His background definitely comes through in small details involved with each taco that comes out of the open kitchen. The slow-cooked chicken taco, for instance, is sauced with a house-made mole that is the just the right blend of spicy and sweet. Peanuts, queso fresco and slivers of scallion finish it off. The chicken is meltingly tender, and the peanuts and scallions add texture and flavor. Braised pork shoulder was reminiscent of carnitas in the cooking style and of al pastor tacos in its pineapple and guajillo garnish. It was a marriage that I support, with

A selection of tacos at Resident Taqueria. the sweet pineapple accenting the pork’s inherent slightly smoky flavor. A glazed pork belly taco was a lovely combination of sweet, rich pork and crisp cucumber and cabbage, but it just wasn’t big enough. It was also the first of several tacos topped with microgreens, which are lovely but didn’t add a lot to the final dish. The tempura fish changes daily, and I was thrilled to discover it was not tilapia. Instead, I received a succulent piece of striped bass coated in a crisp batter. It was a little heavy to be tempura, technically, but it was perfectly fried and golden. Spicy radish and tangy lime crema paired perfectly with the fish. The taco that I found the most interesting was the caramelized cauliflower. The cauliflower is browned and sweet, resting atop a pile of fried kale. Pepitas add texture and a lemon epazote crema (epazote is an herb popular in Mexico with a slightly medicinal
flavor) counters the sweetness of the cauliflower. I mentioned the guacamole earlier. It’s served sprinkled with pumpkin seeds and queso fresco, and a bowl of thick, crunchy tortilla chips. It’s the thing I can’t stop thinking about from Resident Taqueria. Made to order, it’s chunky, with just enough lime juice, not much else. Next time, we’ll get two orders so I don’t have to share. Resident Taqueria’s pedigree is very clearly set in fine dining. And while it’s never going to replace the “puro DF” taquerias that I’ve grown to love, it will definitely be my destination when I crave something a little different.

not much to say about stand-up showers except that I prefer to make them no bigger than four feet wide by five feet long, which is a good size for two people. As for walk-in showers, there are no doors and they are very convenient if you like to shave in the shower, as steam will dissipate from the area a little quicker. They are also very open and I prefer to make these showers a bit bigger than your standard stand-up shower. Again, I suggest porcelain
or ceramic, as well as a handheld showerhead for easy clean up. When your builders are putting the shower glass in, make sure the glass goes through a treatment during fabrication that acts as Rain-X, which repels water and creates less spotting, making it easier for cleaning. Now, a couple pointers about tub showers: they add to resale value; however, they are not necessarily a must. Another upside: They are about half the price of a stand-up shower. You may not think about lighting for your shower, but this is actually very important. This is where you start or end your day. Either build a sky light for some natural light or consider a dimmable light. Either way, you always want the lighting to be waterproof. If you get a dimmable light, you can adjust to your mood. Are you too sleepy for something so bright? Or do you need that extra light while you shave? It’s about having the choice. Make your shower an experience, not a chore. Stephan Sardone is owner of Sardone Construction and has been helping people improve their life by remodeling their home around their life.

BLUES cont'd from page 1 had become enamored with the blues and its artists of the day, but most importantly, Bessie Smith. She was obsessed with the star. Dallas audiences have seen Diotalevi in Contemporary Theatre of Dallas’ “Love, Loss and What I Wore”; “Assassins” at Theatre Three; and Uptown Players’ “Valley of the Dolls” and “Broadway Our Way.” Playwright Dianne Tucker, an almost-Texan of 40 years, must have reached into the depths of her imaginative soul to create such a clever story. Set in a room at the Landmark Hotel, Oct. 4, 1970, Joplin is in town for a concert, but her entourage stayed behind. Tucker told us, “Marisa [Diotalevi] embodies Joplin down to her core.” When we asked about Lee in her role of Smith, the playwright said, “Words can’t describe.” Both legendary artists, the two made their mark on music history. Bessie Smith defied odds by becoming the highest-paid black performer in the SUGAR cont'd from page 5 their excessively sweet foods. If you’re not sure if the sugar content is natural or added, naturally occurring sugars aren’t listed in the ingredients, and the ingredients are listed in order from most amount in the food to the least.

1920s, earning the title, “Empress of the Blues.” Janis Joplin became known as “The Pearl” when her second album, entitled “Pearl,” was released following her tragic drug overdose. Lee, her acting and her vocals are no strangers to Dallas audiences. She spent two years in Theatre Too’s basement venue as Gary Coleman in Dallas favorite, “Avenue Q.” She has worked as an actress, singer and television talent in Dallas and internationally. There is hardly a local theater in which she hasn’t impressed patrons. Asked about portraying the unique styles of both singers, Lee said, “When we play strong women, we don’t want to imitate them. We want to capture their essence.” While Diotalevi had the advantage of plenty of video to study Joplin’s physicality and gestures, Lee read everything she could get her hands on about Smith. Lee said, “I’ve adored Dianne [Tucker, playwright] for almost 30 years. She can talk to you about any number of strong women. She’s intelligent, soft-spoken and a gifted artist.” Lee added that
a food isn’t sweet that it isn’t made with sugar, either. Added sugar is lurking in salad dressing, ketchup, protein bars, yogurt, bread, tomato sauce and cereal. Drink more water and eat more fruit. A large majority of the added sugar people consume is found in drinks such as sodas, juices, sweet teas, flavored coffees, lemonade and sports drinks. Just one 12-ounce can of regular Coke contains 9.3 teaspoons of sugar.
That’s more than the daily recommendation, so you can see how easy it is to overdo it without even thinking about it. By drinking only water, unsweetened tea, black coffee or milk, you’ll greatly reduce the amount of added sugar in your diet. However, when your sweet tooth is driving you crazy, there’s an easy fix. Give in and eat a piece of fruit to satisfy your craving. Fruit may be high in sugar, but it’s the natural kind, so you

she’s worked with artistic director Bruce Coleman many times, and that she always loves working with him. The show is billed as “Part One” in anticipation of a “Part Two” planned for the fall. Now, if you’re a fan of both dynamos, hang on to your seat. The talents perform “Mercedes Benz,” “Ain’t Nobody’s Business” and a “Summertime/Muddy Waters” medley as duets, which are well worth the price of admission. On April 19 Lee will appear in “Divas of American Music” at Two Corks in a Bottle near the Quadrangle. The performance may be repeated later in the spring. The star’s own company, “Denise Lee Onstage,” includes such local favorites as Liz Mikel, Sara Shelby-Martin and B.J. Cleveland. On July 28-30, the company will perform the first of a series, the 2016 DLO/Fair Park Dallas Cabaret Festival in the Women’s Building at Fair Park.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK The coming week will see everyone respond, in his or her own way, to the need to double down on a commitment of some kind. It's not likely to be the same kind of commitment for everyone, but everyone will, one way or another, be compelled to do more, to reach further, to take a greater risk or to commit more resources than perhaps ever before — all in the name of doing what has been promised and of living up to expectations and one's reputation. Indeed, each individual's standards will be tested: Anyone whose standards are usually high will take it as a matter of course that more must be done; those who are used to compromising may not be able to stretch themselves quite so readily. For some, the requirements may take choice out of the equation altogether, as financial realities simply require them to do more in the name of mere survival. There is something to be said, however, for maintaining a certain standard of living, and most will not want to allow theirs to be diminished at all.

MOVIE TRAILER
Documentary ‘Fastball’ baseball film worth catching
By Chic DiCiccio @Chiccywood
Its popularity may waver, but there isn't a more romanticized sport than baseball. There are countless movies about it, and almost every one of them, from "The Natural" to "Field of Dreams," treats the game like a spiritual event. Even a comedy like "Bull Durham" showcases the beauty and simplicity of America's pastime. The documentary "Fastball" is no different than any of those fictional tales. It is 82 minutes of baseball glory and focuses on one of the most basic parts of the entire game: how hard can a guy throw. "Fastball" is a history lesson that features not only some of the hardest throwers in baseball history, but the thoughts of the game's greatest hitters ever. It spans from Walter Johnson, nicknamed "The Big Train," and the dead ball era, to the player that shattered the record for the fastest pitch ever recorded, relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman. In between sections of the documentary that focus on particular pitchers, players such as Joe Morgan, George Brett, Mike Schmidt and the late Tony Gwynn talk about what it was like to face pitchers with what scouts would call "electric stuff." Since the radar gun wasn't invented until the mid-1970s, that "electric stuff" was measured in various, often hilarious ways. For example, a section of "Fastball" is dedicated to when Bob Feller's fastball was measured by him essentially throwing a ball that would

Needless to say, this black and white footage is as humorous as it is fascinating. "Fastball" also investigates how other sports have evolved with athletes running faster or jumping higher, yet the fastball seems to have hit its ceiling. It brings up Jesse Owens' 100 meter dash times and how it would be considered slow by today's standards, yet a 100 mile an hour fastball can be unhittable in any era of the game.
While there is nary a dull second in "Fastball," the final section makes the others almost pale in comparison. It is an almost mythical look at the greatness of Nolan Ryan's career, which includes his seven no hitters and his unbeatable career strikeout record. The video of a young Ryan, unbelievably slim, throwing high and inside to hitters without an ounce of fear is jaw dropping. His humble approach to his career is even more impressive, and there is even a moment that could
bring tears to your eyes, something commonly called "sports crying." There is a lot of star power both on and off screen in "Fastball." It only makes sense for someone like Kevin Costner to narrate the film as he has starred in approximately 15 movies about baseball, give or take a dozen. There is also one short section in which Chris Cooper does a reading and it's equally as cool as Costner's very well done narration. While Costner's name is the most recognizable, the producer of "Fastball" has an amazing pedigree as well. Thomas Tull has 64 producer credits to his name, most notably among them are "The Dark Knight" and "The Hangover." However, if you dig deep into his film history, you'll notice movies like the Jackie Robinson story "42" and "We Are Marshall," both sports-themed movies. He also produced the excellent rock documentary "It Might Get Loud." Clearly, Tull is a sports fan and leapt at the chance to get such a well thought out, informative and entertaining documentary on the big screen. One of the problems with documentaries is that the subject matter is usually very specific and will only appeal to those already with interest. That is not the case with "Fastball." While this film will no doubt captivate every hardcore baseball fan, it should attract even those with little interest in the game. After all, it doesn't take a crazed hardball fan to be fascinated by seeing a man throw a baseball 105 miles per hour.

Fox looks to retool after loss of ‘American Idol’ By Ed Bark
unclebarky@verizon.net Fox is nearing the end of a season in which it’s losing the most influential, ratings-rich series in TV history, while also continuing to enjoy the proceeds from the biggest scripted breakout hit of the millennium.
The network will end up running last in total viewers among the Big Four broadcast networks, while moving up a notch to third place ahead of ABC among advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds. This is the last Ed Bark of a four-part look at how CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox have fared,

wald.world@yahoo.com The question of the night was, “Is Jefferson Boulevard part of the Bishop Arts District?” The answer: If you’re from Plano, “Yes.” If you live in the Bishop Arts District, “No.” You see, it’s all a matter of perspective. But if you live in Plano, Bishop Arts District might as well be Paris, France, because chances are you’ve never heard of it or never been there.

Fowler filled the gap for each. Our loving foster family welcomed Gabe in the middle of the night. Marion received physical, occupational and speech therapy and returned to her home safely. Ebonie moved to The Ebby House, graduated from high school and enrolled in community college.

“It is for history. As a photojournalist, your job is to bring back the picture — as a record of what happened — for history. That’s why you are there — to photograph what you see, and what you see should inform. Somehow the camera puts a distance between you and what is happening in front of you.

APRIL 15 - 21, 2016
FOREST AVENUE HIGH SCHOOL 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Alumni celebrate century of treasured Dallas icon
E
nduring since the turn of the century, through the computer era and well into the age of electronics, Forest Avenue High School (FAHS) yearbooks spanning five decades are selling on eBay today for as much as $50. How might that have translated into 1916 vernacular, when there were no video games or cells, texting or social networking, much less spell check? Marking 100 years since the school opened in 1916, FAHS alumni will celebrate with a luncheon Saturday, April 16, at Brookhaven Country Club. The Alumni Association (AA) of the historic Dallas landmark plans to disband after this centennial celebration. Shirley Warren Attaway,1954 has worked tirelessly planning the event, after publishing her final Echo-Echo alumni newsletter. Considering the soldout attendance of 350, she apparently stepped up to the challenging plate. The alumni association donated many of the school’s artifacts to the Dallas Public Library in 1983, where they remain in the Texas/Dallas History collection. Alumni Stanley Marcus, 1921, and Steg Renz, 1938, were instrumental in persuading the Library to provide archival space exclusively for FAHS. Brian Collins, archival librarian of the Dallas Public Library will be a guest at the April 16 event. Another special guest will be the founder of the Forest Avenue High School Alumni Association, Nellie Ruth Genthner Murphy, 1938. During Attaway’s AA journey, she has served as a board member, Echo-Echo editor, archivist, membership chair and special events chair. She said, “At one time, we had the largest high school alumni association in the state of Texas.” As membership has dwindled, so have funds and so the association made the decision to disband. “This reunion is to honor all former students,” she added. On Sept. 21, 1916, classes commenced at FAHS on Forest Avenue in Southeast Dallas. Sixty students graduated with the class of 1917. FAHS closed its doors in 1956. James Madison High School (JMHS) reopened them in 1957. JMHS has graduated 50 classes since then, and Forest Avenue’s street name was changed to Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in 1981. By now, Dallasites who know some of FAHS’s legends are aware that many notables, local and international, are among the school’s alumni. The AA has recognized a stellar cache of them throughout the years as “Distinguished Alumni.” Retail giant Stanley Marcus and award-winning television guru Aaron Spelling roll off the tongue as FAHS graduates. Many other alumni have made contributions to Dallas and well beyond over the years, with and without the distinction. Here’s a glance at only a few of them: Among the movers and shakers is Adlene Nathanson Harrison, 1940, who served as Dallas’ first female mayor pro tem and acting mayor; Henry S. Miller, Dallas realtor, developer and committed philanthropist; Jack Mitchell, former FAHS English teacher and a founder of the Dallas Teachers Credit Union, who served as the Union’s president until his retirement. Rear Admiral Paul Lacy, Jr., 1937: U.S. Naval Academy graduate; served under two U.S. presidents. Rear Admiral George L. Cassell, 1936, was a distinguished fighter pilot and Navy commander in Vietnam. He commanded the Air Force carrier “Coral Sea.” Major General Charles Bond, 1933, was an original member of the legendary Flying Tigers in World War II. He was author of “Diary of a Flying Tiger” and commander of the 12th Air Force. Sir Morris Finneburgh, 1919: knighted by the Queen of England. An esteemed inventor, inducted into the Electronic Hall of Fame in 1969. Dr. Norman M. Kaplan, 1947, M.D. cardiologist and hypertension researcher, esteemed throughout the U.S. as head of cardiology
“The quote inscribed on the original fireplace in the library is ‘Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go; keep her; for she is thy life.’ As relative today as it was a century ago. Education is freedom.”

“Many years ago Norman Luterman, ’51 and I started meeting once a month at Luby’s Cafeteria on Mockingbird near Abrams. Shortly thereafter we invited other Forest alumni until 30 to 50 showed up most months. Some Foresters living out of state still come to the get togethers when in Dallas. This companionship kept us close throughout many years.” Pictured are, L to R; Tommy Spiegel, Lane Kalman, Hymie Gappelberg, Fred Time, Jerry Kriss, Ralph Lubens in the 1950s.

“After 60+ years there is still camaraderie among Forest alumni. Years ago things were different. We stayed in touch with one another by talking faceto-face. Telephones were a novelty, and not used to chit chat. We didn’t need Facebook. We stay connected by our voice. Today kids don’t have the personal connections we had. They have ‘smartphones,’ but I think we were ‘smarter.’”
— Gladys Goldstein Altschuler, ’53

Fred Time, 1951, told us, “As a young immigrant coming to Dallas, I found many European families whose children went to Forest High. We were assimilated in the South Dallas community that housed our high school. Playing basketball for the varsity provided travel, tennis shoes, etc. that opened other athletic experiences. I continue to visit our old neighborhood, taking my children and grandchildren to visit where I spent some of the most wonderful years of my life.” Fellow alumni regard Time as the “pivot point” of alumni. He makes regular visits to nursing homes, hospitals and anywhere his fellow alumni can benefit from a familiar, caring face. For countless hours of reminiscing and learning more about the school’s history, check out the extensive exhibit of FAHS treasures on the seventh floor of Dallas’ downtown J. Erik Jonsson Public Library. For a complete bibliography of the exhibit, visit http://bit.ly/1RXVywi. For FAHS annuals on eBay, see http://ebay. to/1TiZ1YK.
