I just sent a birthday greeting to Bill Kreiger and was thinking about some HS memories about him. Since in assemblies, we all sat alphabetically, I sat between Bill & Ronnie Kincade. Believe me...that was entertaining, to say the least. As I thought back, I have so many memories that made a huge impact on my life. Every day of HS, each year, the close friends, all the events, it's hard to imagine & think back to how it all effected each of us. For instance, when I was in grade school at Jackson, being that young, I never thought about being rich or poor. There was always someone who had more or better things than I did, as well as those who had so much less than me. That's just the way it was. But when it came time to go to JH, that was a whole new experience, just speaking for myself. Guess my world was smaller that I was aware of. Soon you learn to adjust, at least, I tried. It was difficult for me...am sure we each had our own situation. Next to say, going to HS was magnified w/adding twice as many new faces & experiences. We knew the 3 classes ahead of us and those behind us. ALL THIS TO SAY...when I think back over those years in my life, each and every one of you had an impression on me, whether it was positive or negative. It ALL made me the person I am today. I, in now way mean to brag about anything, but looking back how things affected me, I can NOT change anything about the past. Have learned we all HAVE to let of some things, and look forward. When I reminisce about HS, I smile at all the good times. I can remember what certain people wore, who they dated, who I had what class/w, the buildings, the teachers I had...so much. I don't watch TV during the day, but If I'm home, I turn to the SiriusXM music, to the 50's on 5, and enjoy every song. SOOO for all my memories and experiences, I would like to thank each & every one of you!!! With God's grace I am looking forward to MORE.
