I am excited to be attending the reunion this time. I missed out on the last one.

I can remember when Paula Starcher (Wilson), Kim Bray and i had home ec class. Kim stole potatoes and onions from the home ec room, threw the potatoes into the air and down the hall while changing classes, not knowing who she would hit but soon found out because when the target appeared out of the crowd he was holding his forehead with a big RED SPOT right in the middle. The onions, well I think they ended up in Paula's gym shoes in her locker. LOL TOO FUNNY!! There are too many stories to tell but this one stands out and I just want to say RIP our dear friend, Kymberly Ann Bray!! We Love You!

Pete Lee's, of course! ha
