Webmaster Rick Page received the following
e-mail message from our Secretary, Tex Nolan on 3/30/2001. As you
found out previously on this page, Tex recently underwent a liver
transplant. Here in his own words is a report on how he is doing!
"I wanted to let you know that
everything went good with my liver transplant. Normally
transplant people have to stay in Dallas for three months, they released
me to come home at 10 weeks. I am back working and doing extremely
well, other than the shock of liver failure. I thought I was in
perfect health, and the middle of December I thought I had a cold and
went to the doctor, then on the 16th of January I had the transplant.
I will see you at the May board meeting, if Don has not fired me as
secretary."
Tex Nolan

Bennie.

A memorial service for Humble ISD athletic
director Bennie Carter was held Monday. Carter, 57, who
successfully battled a form of cancer in his bone marrow, died Wednesday
(11/22/00) of a heart attack. "Bennie Carter was a tremendous
asset to Humble ISD and a close personal friend," Humble ISD
superintendent Michael Fay said. "He was someone who was
respected very much for his principles and for the way he carried out
the functions of his job." Carter taught and coached for 17
years and became an assistant athletic director for Fort Bend ISD in
1982. He worked there for 10 years before being named Humble ISD
