Left USN 1971 in San Diego, moved to Dallas 1974 to 1977, then to Des Moines, Ia 1977.
Will probably move back south (somewhere) when able to sell our Photography business and "retire"- we hope!
Health is good; generally positive; I yell at lying politicians and biased media on TV! You know- NORMAL!

School Story:

A rocky road for me, but fun in many ways. A mix of happy/sad.
The more I look at my Sundial and classmate profiles, the more good memories come back.
I once fooled a sophomore girl into buying a "list" I had of all the HS seniors in all Dallas schools. She was embarassed and a little mad when I brought her a Dallas phone book- and I gave her the $2 back! Just wanted to see if I could pull it off. If that was you- I apologize!!
Anita Shaw was fun In Comparative Anatomy, Mrs Morgan was nice and "motherly", and Greathouse made Biology interesting!
I miss the "feel" of the old schoolhouse.

Favorite teacher(s)

Greathouse - Biology
Scruggs- Geometry
Morgan- Spanish **

Class friends I have kept in touch with over the years include

Unfortunately , none.
I haven't lived in Texas since 1977.

My old high school friends would be surprised to know

Feb 2023 update- SEMI Retired photographer, but still active in Photography, photo editing & Restorations, and Instruction. Still healthy, etc.

Nov2022...I'm still alive, smiling and outgoing, and out of my shell!
No criminal record, no addictions, no medications-
I know...pretty boring , huh?
I have become an accomplished commercial photographer, and photography teacher. The interesting part for me is the people I meet and the new things I learn from them. The camera is truly a "passport" for me into realms I am not normally a part of like- Politics, industry, law, technology, business, medicine,
construction, and many specialty associations. Web : alexandersphoto.com

I didn't, but I wish I had

*Joined the track team
*Been more social in school
*Gone to more reunions.
*A chance to say goodby to classmates that were fallen soldiers, or passed away.
*some CLUE to growing up as a teen !
Who doesn't have the same thoughts??

I remember her as a confident and decent lady, with leadership quailties.

Mainly from observation and reputation. Sorry to hear of her passing!

RIP, respectfully.

Gene- just saw your post & question...
I was only stationed on Whidbey for about 5 months in 1968 in the Navy- the most fun time in my entire tour of duty...wanted very much to go back!! I've lived in Des Moines, Iowa since 1977. Thanks for the shout out. I CAN'T IMAGINE you offending anyone!! You're good , sir!!
