Once a month

I dont' see any former classmates. Recently at the last gathering in July 2012 and 2013, I caught up with some old friends and we have promised to keep in touch. I will be making some road trips. Katherine (Kitty) Williamson lives in Florida and I hope to visit her soon. Judy Pooton Targett and Wendy Doll are in Florida and I would love to visit them too. Visited Judy in 2013. Visited Sandy and Dean McAlister in May of 2019.

That I love fast cars, old cars and horse racing and that I gamble now and then.

Some of my favorite memories are hanging out with my friends in front of the gym and at the football games. Also, the Sadie Hawkin's dance when I could do the asking. Recently found a Sadie Hawkins marriage certificate to Jack Mickie. I had forgotten about that.

One teacher that made an impression was Mr. Combs. He gave us a test and warned us to read the test before making a mark on it - well don't you know everyone failed the test because at the bottom of the test, it said do not make a mark on this test!

Select a better class schedule and not be so shy.
