Little over a week ago, I enjoyed revisiting, and reliving a time I had relegated to a seldom called upon nook in my mind. Too many incredible moments filled my thoughts, I could hardly place names and faces together with facts and order of events.
I agree with Tom Post concerning the beauty of the ladies (girls) attending, and walking the halls of South High. I was very shy back then with I guess "red hair", so I dated a West High girl, who was as one would say "sweet with a great personality". After high school she dumped me, cause her "missionary" and love of her life would soon return. Funny she never mentioned him. I had crushes on many lovely females at South, but they were too attractive for me to approach. Apparently my red hair (strawberry blonde) was a curse for me way back then.
I had my close friends, John, Thayne, Ron, Paul, Carl, Ted, and Dave, and got together often for insane high school antics, but also had friends making classes easier to tolerate. And I must thank you for the relief. Way to many to list.
Finally, this was the only "reunion" I've attended over the years for a number of reasons, probably being self conscious of my "red hair" being on top of the list, but I praise all who put this one together. What an accomplishment of epic proportion. Heidi and Tom Post, Skip Woolston, Cal Springer, Mac Curtis, Larry Watts, Lynn Oshita, Susan Holdaway, and others behind the scenes I would mention if I could only remember who they were. (the mind is not as sharp as it once was). I renewed some old friendships and made a few new ones. Thank you one and all, especially the unnamed who covered the cost for dinner, and for golf and other happinings crucial to a successful reunion.
