Hi Everyone! I guess I'll break the ice. I cannot believe that it has been 30 years. At that time my dad worked for a computer company, but he bought a small farm on Rural Route 2 (Lisburn Road.) just South of Mechanicsburg so we could enjoy the rural life. I remember getting on the bus for the long ride into school, passing a pig farm and picking up other kids along the way.
I am glad to see that most are doing well. The most interesting thing to me is seeing everyones photos. I believe in each of our minds, our classmates are frozen as we remembered them in 1980. Going onto Facebook or this site fast forwards you 30 years to the present. We've all changed, but it's still good to recognize everyones faces which brings back little memories........the people that sat next to me in homeroom, the people I had lunch with, and the people I knew outside of school as well. There were the athletes, The cheerleaders, the different school clubs, the guys in the F.F.A. The band...... we dated, cruised the circuit in Harrisburg, worked in some of the same places after school. I remember the class rings, the letter jackets....A lot has changed in 30 years. We've moved on, got jobs, started families and some sadly, have passed on. But to the people that read this, we all shared a time and place and experience in the Cumberland Valley High School in the year 1980. It was then that all of our timelines intersected before we again were sent off on different paths. We are all a part of each others collective memories...... and as for me, I treasure that. If it was at all possible....for just one day... I would like to step off that bus back in 1980 and see everyone just one more time.... It was one of the happiest times of my life. I wish you all the very best and as much health and happiness that life can offer.
