Mark was Class of '82
Clay Walker would have been Class of '85 I believe, but went to my church's private school his first couple years of high school (he was QB and my brother Jerry was his wide receiver) and moved to Vidor for his last year or 2 in high school.
Bud Hebert - didn't he play pro football for a while? He graduated in the 70's.
Bud graduted in 75 he went to Universirty of Oklahoma. Will ask my Sister Terri who he played for. Bob Mc Dill Nashville Grammy Winner

Clay Walker's mother is one of my best friends, but Clay is a little more stuck up. I guess because he finished school in Vidor, everybody thinks of him as being from Vidor, but I saw him in an interview and he would not admit being from Vidor. He just said he was from a small town near Beaumont.

I just look up the bio for Tex Ritter and found this.....
"Tex lived with his sister while growing up in the Jefferson County town of Nederland. He graduated from South Park High in nearby Beaumont. While attending the University of Texas from 1922 to 1927." So I would guess he graduated in 1921.
