I don't think anyone else remembers this

because I've checked everyone else's blogs today -- but, I graduated high school Ten Years Ago tonight -- on Eric Vicker's 18th Birthday. We were the last class to graduate from the civic center, all the following classes got to go to Murray(?) Coliseum -- and the smell of cow urine from when the Rodeo was in the same place as our 525 seats is still in my memory. I can't remember who I sat next to -- I wasn't in the top 25 so I was with the rest of the class alphabetically, but there was something about the choir kids - we had to get up and sing "To Thee CHS" - so I might have been next to Molly (I swear if you got concert choir together tomorrow and blew a whistle we'd be able to line up in alphabetical order in under 60 seconds). Anyway, here are two pictures I scanned -- enjoy!

I remember how PROUD we were (and are!) of you...
I remember watching you walking across the stage...
I remember (I think it was earlier your senior year -- part of my user name is, after all, OLD man!) when you took the audience on an extraordinary "Trip to the Library" [SLM] at one of the performances of "Babs" Choir!
Can't wait to show mom the pics when she gets home from work!

Wow, you have a good memory. :) I would have though it was later in the month. Seems like yesterday but also seems a lifetime ago. Here's to memories. :)

Thanks for the comment - I've started getting a bit teary-eyed myself. I think once I turn in the keys tomorrow and drive away from our apartment for the very last time I'll really lose it. Then I have to get through next Monday, which is the last day at school for teachers. Driving away from there will be double hard. But at least I'll never have to drive away from you guys for the last time. That would just be too much.

hahaa! I can't believe that! We are so old!
