As of May 2012 I retired from teaching to remodel my moms house, add on an addition and have a child. We live in my grandmothers house which is next door. We will move back into my childhood home when its finished and Im very excited about that. Getting my childhood home ready for us to live in has brought back a lot of old memories of back in the day. I have highschool memories that seem just like yesterday. It still blows my mind when I look at the box of music tapes I had back in highschool and then pull the iphone out of my pocket and all those songs are there with room to spare. I know its been 20 years but I still think our seniors Goldberg, Hasty,Cleary,Swantic,Williams, Harris,Johnston,Parks Hardson,Russell,Willbanks and Golden Toe Rodney Johnson could suit up and do better than the Southeast Raiders have done since we left. R.I.P. Kelly Page.

Could somebody unzip the pocket of my parachute pants and hand me my walk-man and Billy Idol cassette, the pants are laying over there by my sebago shoes. Oh and dont step on the bottle of Polo.

I wonder who was sitting in the back of the class dippin and spitting in the floor and rubbing it in with their foot? There is a huge dark wet circle by my foot. I always liked the time I caught Ben Long spittin dip into his inside pocket of his jean jacket. I said Ben what are doin that for? He pulled his jacket open and showed me a long necked rose vase. I thought "ah ha" Redneck engineering at its finest. You Go Boy!

I remember everything, in little amounts, makes sense. I just remember that I never missed a day of high school on purpose, if I was not there it ment i was on deaths door, cause I loved it so much, I missed a week my 10th grade year in the spring cause i had "chicken pocks". I do remember getting a phone call that week and my mom handing me the phone and Goldberg, making chicken noises in the phone.. I honestly loved every day, good, bad or ugly....one last memory..I remember the first day of high school and Bart Rich and I setting on the back of the bus, he was telling me that on the first day that he heard we were gonna get thrown in the dumpster by the seniors when we got off the bus, well much to our suprise we got off the bus infront of the school and walked in and we didnt get "wasted"..I had the best and worst times of my life for the next four years..God Bless Southeast and the 80's lol..
