You're still as great looking as you were then, and still have a terrific sense of humor. You always have had both, but I suspect back then you thought you had only one of those bases covered. <BR/><BR/>I think Mike is right. It is very hard to know who you are at 17-18 years of age. Over time you gradually introduce yourself to the person you thought you were. It always struck me as a bit magical, how you discover it. <BR/><BR/>Some friends of mine seemed to have figured out who they are and what they wanted to be and do at a very early age. I've been tripping over myself for years. What you learn is that you're not as lost or as found as you think. Truly a magical experience.<BR/><BR/>Dale the story you told about Herb was a terrific read.

I don't know if any of you know it (I did not until I found this picture and asked Butch about it), but Herb's parents were stationed somewhere else our senior year. I don't know if it was all senior year or half. Butch's parents offered to let Herb live there and finish out his senior year.<BR/><BR/>The last reunion Herb attended was our 20th back in summer of 87. Butch tells me that Herb lived in Texas and had not planned on attending the reunion. A couple of days before the reunion, Herb called Butch and said he was coming and asked if he could stay with Butch's family for the reunion. Turned out Herb had just found out he had terminal lung cancer and wanted to say goodbye. Herb told NO ONE except Butch until the reunion weekend was over. Herb passed away in March the following year.Dale Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03643822878497448146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386029617300356438.post-79489759201337605102007-12-03T07:27:00.000-08:002007-12-03T07:27:00.000-08:00I'm crushed. Not even an honorable mention!! hah...I'm crushed. Not even an honorable mention!! hahaha<BR/><BR/>I remember the gorgeous people and thinking I had to rely on my sense of humor! Certainly of value now in my late fifties when gorgeous meets gravity!<BR/><BR/>It's such a relief not to have to worry about all that anymore.Carol (Witaschek) Beauprehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116333802131182992noreply@blogger.com
