Hello everyone! I had a great time at the 20th yr. reunion. Looking forward to reconnecting with everyone.

Outside of being older, and much heavier, and less hair lol, I have improved on my ability to communicate in social settings. In other words i'm not as shy as I used to be! I hope we all can get together annualy and rekindle some old memories! I miss you all!

Can't wait until we cross paths again.

Too many memories to name. However I would give anything to sit through a pre/post/halftime-game speech as delivered by legendary coach Webb(Football).

I miss running track and being around Coach Frank Maclovik and competing with my fellow Panthers.

However one of my fondest memories happened during half time of a basketball game in which we were losing by 20 pts. Coach Wall attempted to kick open the locker room door and his leg went through the vent and was stuck in the door.

I was in tears inside ROFL... Then to make matters worse he slammed his open hand against the chalk board and I'm sure it busted some blood vessels in his hand. His face turned red instantly. His hand was throbing like a cartoon.

Anyone who knew me back in those days knew that I couldnt keep a straight face and it took every ounce of energy not to bust out laughing.

There were assistant coaches, and my teammates smiling out of view of coach Wall, and the whole time in which seemed like an eternity coach Wall stared at me because of my tendacy to giggle and laugh. I looked over at Bubby(Roland Brown & Fish(Jeff Bowen) and they were smiling up a storm and you guessed it I let out a giggle.. The locker room was tense and evryone wanted to laugh so bad. coach Wall exploded for what seemed like a 30 minute tirade of chewing me out and made me out to be a scapegoat for our poor performance that night. That experience alone will forever be etched into my brain and when life gets me down I often return to that experience and it always brings a smile to face instantly...
