Lamar Mascot
Onus on Lamar High to join 21st century
by RANDY HARVEY randy.harvey@chron.com

Smiley N. Pool / Houston Chronicle 10/27/2013
It is time for the Lamar High School Redskins to change their
nickname.
It actually is past time.
A good time would have been 15 years ago. According to a 1999
article in the Houston Press, Kenyon Weaver, a Lamar senior, began a campaign the
year before to change the nickname.
His impetus was a vacation he took the previous summer to Santa
Fe, N.M. When he started to don his Redskins sweatshirt, his mother, a University
of Houston professor, counseled him against it, warning him the name would offend
many of the city s American Indian residents.
Upon returning to school, Weaver used his position as a member
of the Lamar student senate to place a referendum before students.
The only decent thing to do
the only worthy cause was
the Lamar Redskins, Weaver told the
Press.
After heated debate, students overwhelmingly voted to remain Redskins,
although Weaver said his effort was sabotaged by school officials when students
were told they would have to pay for the expense of changing the logo.
Inseparable marriage
Weaver now is a Harvard-educated attorney working for a major
law firm in the nation s capital, where he is reminded daily of his lost cause because
of the controversy over the nickname of the city s NFL team.
There are a lot of parallels, Weaver said recently.
You ve got the same kind of gut-level reaction here that we had in Houston.
Many people find their identities inseparable from Washington Redskins or Lamar
Redskins.
Lamar school officials today say the nickname has not been an
issue in years.
Why make it one?
Because it s wrong.
Who says?
The National Congress of American Indians, which has declared
that the use of nicknames and imagery
perpetuates stereotypes of American Indians that are harmful, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, the
NCAA and the Merriam-Webster dictionary, which defines the name Redskins in particular as one that is very offensive and should be avoided.
Among others.
To an extent, Lamar officials have acknowledged the nickname is
wrong by disassociating the school from virtually everything about it except the
nickname itself.
There is little evidence at Lamar that the school mascot remains
Redskins, starting with the elimination of the mascot. It was a big-toothed, big-nosed,
diaper-clad artificial statue called Big Red that was trotted out at sports events.
Any new teams, groups or awards will be known simply as Lamar.
Drill team members are known as Rangerettes.
Give the school credit for doing a lot to right its wrong. But
it hasn t done as much as some. According to Capital News Service, 62 high schools
in 22 states are known as Redskins while 28 high schools in 18 states dropped the
nickname within the last 25 years.
Principal James Mc-Swain, who was in the same role when Kenyon
Weaver was a student, said recently if Lamar were a new school choosing a nickname
that it wouldn t be Redskins.
What s the holdup?
Weaver, while expressing respect for McSwain, counters with a
question he might ask in cross-examination.
If that is McSwain s belief, why doesn t he encourage the school
to take the one last, inevitable step?
If they had done this in 1998, it wouldn t have even registered five years
later, Weaver said.
McSwain said the nickname was chosen when the school was established
in 1936 to honor American Indians, and while it might some day change, the prevailing
alumni sentiment is that it remains a positive symbol.
We want to honor our historical values, to honor the cultural heritage but
at the same time be respectful of future views, he said.
That s a fine line.
It is a worthwhile goal to honor cultural heritage. That can be
done by teaching it accurately and respectfully in classrooms.
Lesson One: The term
redskins is believed by many
to refer to the scalps of American Indians after they were removed by bounty hunters.
Origin rooted in bigotry
For that reason, the history of Redskins as a sports nickname,
as well-intentioned as its adoption might have been by Lamar High School and others,
is repulsive. (We can talk later about Braves, Chiefs, Warriors, etc.)
George Preston Marshall, the NFL owner who changed his team s
name to Redskins, was the last to integrate his team, doing so in 1962 when the
federal government threatened to cancel his stadium lease. When Marshall died in
1969, his will created a Redskins Foundation prohibiting it from supporting the principle of racial integration in
any form.
NFL officials, who have supported current team owner Dan Snyder
s right to keep the nickname, now are open to discussion, scheduling a meeting Wednesday
with the Oneida Indian Nation.
Closer to home, Lamar High School is named for former Texas Gov.
Mirabeau B. Lamar, who supported displacement
and extinction of American Indians.
He no doubt would support the nickname Redskins, although probably
not to honor them. randy.harvey@chron.com

Fans attending a Lamar High School sporting event won t find the
same references to the school mascot
the Redskins as in years
past, with the silhouette on this flag sometimes serving as the only reminder.

Anton Fraps
Anton Fraps (1936 - 2013)
Obituary
Anton E. (Tony) Fraps, III , 76, passed away September 12,
2013. Anton was a long time member of the First United Methodist Church of
Houston, Texas.
Tony was born in Miami, Florida on December 19, 1936. He
loved to go to the beach with his mom and dad. As a child, Tony and his parents
moved to Houston where he spent the rest of his life.
Anton graduated from Mirabeau B. Lamar High School where he
met many of his lifelong friends and acquaintances. He then attended University
of Houston from 1955- 1961, majoring in electrical engineering, physics, and
mathematics.
"Fraps," as many of his cohorts and friends called
him, was part "mad inventor," part entrepreneur, part family man, and
yet was always quick witted and fun to be around.
Anton worked for General Electric, Wellex, and Otis
Elevators before striking out on his own in construction and real estate. He
also ventured in other enterprises, including air conditioning and oil and gas.
He was a member of the United Property Association and became very close
friends with the "Group."
Anton kept busy with property acquisitions and management
and assorted construction activities, but always found time for
"get-aways" with his family to many exotic destinations.
Anton enjoyed fishing, sailing, entertaining, snorkeling,
swimming, and vacationing. He was a skilled dancer and had a unique humorous
personality. However, Anton relished in the game of real life Monopoly in which
he usually won. He was the "eternal optimist," kept a good attitude
and loved to make people laugh. Whenever Anton spoke about the real estate
business, people usually listened. Those of us that remain will sorely miss his
presence, optimism and inspiration. We will also miss his "contagious
smile." Anton will also be remembered as being a true lover of animals and
especially having a great connection with dogs. He left behind his beloved and
adorable malti-poo, Tasha. We love you Anton and will never forget our time
together and your love for us.
Tony is survived by his wife of 33 years, Martha Puckett
Fraps, his brother George E. Fraps, sons: Anton Fraps IV and Alex Fraps, and
three grandchildren: Helen, Sunny, and Anton V, as well as, many nephews and
nieces. The family would like to thank Dr. Kirit Desai and New Century Hospice,
who made him comfortable in his final days. To all of our family and friends
who have showered us with thoughts, prayers, and everything you have done is
greatly appreciated and comforted us during this difficult time.

Jim Macredie (1937 - 2013)
Obituary
THOMAS JAMES "JIM" MACREDIE, JR.
On August 31, 2013, God guided his loyal son, Jim Macredie,
home. Jim was surrounded by loved ones in Houston, during the many months of
his illness.
Jim was born in Galveston, TX on Christmas day 1937, to
Thomas James and Harriett Osborne Macredie, who preceded him in death. He grew
up in Palestine and Houston and graduated from Lamar High School. He worked his
way through the University of Houston graduating in 1963. Jim then began a 45
year career in the oil and gas industry starting at Texaco as a land man. Other
positions he held include the Director of Contract Administration at TXU Energy
Trading Company, Co-President of Termac Energy and Vice President of Energy
Marketing and Regulatory Affairs at Mitchell Energy Corporation. Jim was also a
long term member of the Old Time Gas Buyers Association. Professionally he will
be remembered for his mentoring ability and the positive influence he had on
the careers of many industry professionals. When Jim retired from TXU in 2007,
he took his entire family to a villa in Puerto Vallarta to celebrate. He
referred to that trip as "lightening in a bottle" and it was. If Jim
planned the show, it was first rate and fun.
Jim is survived by his wife, Yvonne Dalferes Macredie. Their
devotion to each other was as unwavering as their faith. Jim fell for Yvonne
after tasting her brownies at a networking event. Sight unseen, he jokingly
asked whoever baked the treats to marry him. Yvonne laughingly responded
"Yes." The couple married 3 years later on June 4, 1992. The success
of their marriage can be attributed to mutual respect, great humor and Jim's
love of brownies.
Other survivors include Jim's sister and her husband, Martha
and Buddy Kies; his daughters and their husbands, Ally and Chris McCormick, and
Erin and Mike Hartman; his stepson and his wife, Mark and Jessica Gregory; and
his stepdaughter, Monique Gregory. He is survived by nine grandchildren: Hailey
and Alex Hartman, Connor and Max McCormick, Keegan, Joel and Kyleigh Gregory,
and Michael and John Cangelosi; and the mother of his children, Janie Macredie.
He was loved dearly and will be missed by all.
A Memorial Service to celebrate Jim's life will be held at
St. Laurence Catholic Church, 3100 Sweetwater Blvd., Sugar Land, TX 77479, at
10:00 AM, on Saturday, September 14, 2013.
The family and friends will gather for a Vigil and
Visitation at TheSettegast-Kopf Co. @ Sugar Creek, 15015 Southwest Fwy., Sugar
Land (Williams Trace Exit), from 6:00-8:00 PM, on Friday, September 13, 2013.
In lieu of flowers, Jim requested that donations in his
memory be made to the Building Fund at the Academy of the Sacred Heart, 1821
Academy Road, Grand Coteau, LA 70541.

Tom Sharkey
Longtime Aspen resident Sharkey dies at 75
Michael McLaughlin
The Aspen Times 7/27/2013
Thomas Sharkey was a man who wore many hats in Aspen.
Whether it was as an interior designer,skier, hiker, minister or
friend to almost anyone who met him, one always could
count on a smile and kind word from thelongtime Aspen resident.
Sharkey, who was 75, died Thursday morning (July 24, 2013) at his
home after a decade long battle with interstitial lung disease. His
son, Gary, daughter, K.T., and family friend Ruben Bonomi were at
his side. “As a child, you learn so much from
your father,” Gary Sharkey said. “He was
always teaching us about life, and even in
his death, he continued to teach by showing such grace and peace.
He was quite amazing.” K.T. Sharkey agreed with her brother
and said her father could always make the best of any situation.
“He passed away smiling,” she said. “My father made it a beautiful
experience.” Thomas Sharkey came to Aspen from
Texas in the early 1960s and was an avid outdoorsman.
This year marked the 50th anniversary of when he moved to Aspen.
He loved to ski, snowshoe and hike but not nearly as
much as he enjoyed the people and personalities of
Aspen. “My dad couldn’t go 10 steps in Aspen without someone stopping
him to say hello,” K.T. Sharkey said. “This was his community, and
he loved it.” He immersed himself into the Aspen
culture and became a fixture with the Aspen Art Museum, the Music
Associates of Aspen and the Aspen Historical Society.
He was also a ski ambassador who could always be found smiling and
helping on the slopes, even while wearing an oxygen
tank on his back.
“Tom was so energetic,” said longtime
friend Terry Butler, of Aspen. “He was everywhere, always
having fun. Tom loved to know about people and life. He
was a beautiful soul and never had one bad thing to say
about anybody. He was kind through and through. He really
loved Aspen and its people.”
How much did Sharkey love Aspen? The man had his
phone number changed so the last four digits read 7908,
the elevation of Aspen.
“Tom lived his life out loud,” Butler said. “He didn’t let
his sickness slow him down. He often seemed to laugh his
worries away.”
Sharkey was also a minister who married many couples
in Aspen and spoke at many funerals. He was at ease comforting
other people.
Carol Fuller moved to Aspen in 1973 but became friends
with Sharkey in the late 1960s when she was visiting here.
Fuller considered Sharkey her closest friend for the past
40 years.
She talked of how he would call her daily, often more
than once, just to wish her a great day and tell her he
hoped the sky was as blue over her house as it was over
his.
“Tom walked through life without ego,” Fuller said. “He
really took pride in being local. He was the heart and soul
of happiness, and he brought it out in everyone around
him.”
When he was volunteering with the various Aspen
groups he was involved with, he was always the first to
help, the first to make sure visitors were being taken care
of and the last to leave until the work was done.
Sharkey had a special connection with the Aspen Historical
Society and helped in many capacities over the
years. He was involved with it for more than 20 years and
was the secretary for the board of trustees.
Georgia Hanson has been the president and CEO of the
Historical Society for the past decade and says Sharkey’s
enthusiasm and willingness to help in any capacity will be
irreplaceable.
“Tom was my No. 1 champion,” Hanson said. “His devotion
to our society defies description. He seemed to know
everyone in town and made everyone around him smile.”
Hanson talked of how Sharkey insisted on helping at
the recent 30th-anniversary block party for the Historical
Society despite being in a wheelchair. Just Monday, Sharkey
asked if the board of trustees would mind having its
executive meeting at his house, which it did.
“He was thrilled to be part of that meeting,” Hanson
said. “I had no idea it would mean so much to him. Tom
just loved to be with friends and be festive. He will be
missed.”
The family does not plan on having a public funeral but
will have a public celebration in Aspen in the near future.

Obituary
ROBERT
(BOBBY) FRANKLIN TEAGUE, JR. died peacefully at his home on July 6,
2013 after a courageous two and a half year battle with brain cancer. He
was 74 years old.Bobby was born in Houston, Texas on August 23, 1938 to Frank (Red) and Dorothy Hogge Teague, who preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by his daughter Sarah Lynn.
He graduated from Lamar High School and continued his studies at the University of Texas in Austin, where he was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon and graduated with a BBA in 1961. While attending UT, Bobby met Judith Ann Wood on a blind date and they were married nine months later. After graduation, Bobby went to work for Tennessee Gas as a budget analyst. He went on to work for Arthur Young and Company (Ernst and Young) from 1964 to 1980, making partner in 1975. In 1981, he along with Eddie Harrell and Louis Stipp founded Citation Oil & Gas, where he was the CFO until his retirement in 2002. He was extremely proud of the growth and success of the company during his 20 years there.
Bobby was a devoted fan of "The Horns" at UT and supported many of their foundations. While he followed all UT sports, he especially looked forward to the beginning of each football season, attending almost all home games and often traveling to out of town games. He was also an avid outdoorsman, enjoying salt water fishing and duck, dove and quail hunting with many good friends and his loyal dog, Lily always by his side. He and Judy loved traveling with friends to Argentina, Europe, Alaska, China and most memorably on an African photographic safari. But some of his favorite days were spent with family and friends in Rockport and New Braunfels.
Bobby was a compassionate, loving husband and father who was always generous with family, friends and co-workers. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Judy; his son, Rob Teague and wife Bess; his daughter, Amy Teague; his brother Billy and wife Joanie; his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Henry and Sherron Wood; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Weldon and Christa Butler; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Roger and Linda Wood. He also leaves behind two step grandchildren, Matthew and Melissa Molsberry as well as many loving nieces and nephews. Bobby will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
The family wishes to acknowledge and thank Dr. Daniel Lehane and Dr. Robert Parrish, as well Houston Hospice for the help they provided and to Marian, Etta Jean and Teska for their care and patience.
Bobby was proud to be a charter member of St. Martin's Episcopal Church and was in the first confirmation class.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, July 11 at 2:00 PM at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, 717 Sage Road, Houston, Texas.
