I was doing some research on a deceased friend to see if his killer is up for parole anytime soon, and wandered across my high school alumni's website. 5 people I knew in high school are now deceased. I guess the older we get the more we encounter that. One of the deceased was a girl I had a crush on in jr high. Puts my thinning hairline into a little better perspective.

One of the people on the list had been my locker partner for 2 school years. I thought when I read her name "That can't be true, I just saw her at the mall not that long ago" and then I thought about it and realized "not that long ago" was 1984. 24 yrs ago and it seemed "not that long ago" I have officially crossed the threshhold into old age.

I run into old classmates here and there from time to time as a lot of them are still in the greater cincinnati area. Still 2010 will be 25 years since graduation.

Stay in school kids, Do your homework....
But til it's time to do that again, have as much fun as you can with what's left of summer [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

We just went to my husband's class reunion a couple weekends ago. He's had 3 members (out of 83) pass so far. I graduated the year before him and have only lost one. He died at a graduation party just a few weeks after the big day. So sad, he was sitting on the hood of a friend's car and his friend backed up and the guy fell and hit his head. We all felt so bad, he was a nice guy and was to go to college in the fall. [img]frown.gif[/img]
