Hi Sharon, FMHS is fine. Happy they are getting a new courtyard.
The trophy situation could have been handled better imo. I probably visited the trophy case as often as I used the courtyard. Zero. But now that I am a moldy old curmudgeonly senior citizen with way too much time on my hands it is easy for me to get fired up about a lot of things that would have only attracted passing interest 20 years ago.
Thus my sudden interest in FMHS trophies. My reaction was to the apparent indifference by somebody at FMHS to those FMHS students who received a trophy because they worked so hard to achieve something that was celebrated in its day. Now, they are just old, dead, forgotten. So, who cares? Sorta sad. Ashes to ashes. dust to dust.
I am sure FMHS is not the first or last to do something like this. Clean out the old. Make way for the new. Even the ancient Romans did this. They repurposed a lot of stuff, like statues, archways, buildings. Bits of history that is now lost.
I take solace in the fact that my immortality is secured by my assorted body part implants with serial numbers, searchable no doubt, probably stored on some digital archive.
Sooner or later we are all repurposed. For now, life is too short. Be well. Be happy.
