Hey c/o 1984 Warriors. "Whats Going Down" I am glad that I am getting a chance to actually type something on this website. When I get home from work I don't want to see no "damn" computer. But it's great that I can at least type something. Of course I know that everyone know that I lost my dearest and best friend from Elementary (Latrica Johnson-Glasper) I still cannot believe she is gone. When she use to call me on the phone or I will call her, she would always say "Whats Going Down". But I do believe that it is a wake up call for me as well as others to have a relationship with GOD, because you don't know when he is coming. I think GOD take things out of our lives to try and get our attention and trust me losing her have made me think about life in a whole different way. Here one day and gone tomorrow. One thing about Latrica and I, we was just as close as we were in Elementary, Middle School and High School. We always told each other that we love one another - always!! We was always there for each other. I talk to her the day before she past and we had a damn good laugh. (smile) We was one year and one month apart exactly in age. My b-day is 10/10/1966 and her was 11/10/1965. She knew about this website and the reunion because I told her and she defintely was going to participate. I guess since her passing (October 24, 2008) I know that she was going to eventually signed on to this website, (like me just now signing on). I just feel that I have to talk about her because she was my best friend and a sister that I truly truly am missing right now. So I defintely have to talk about her. My daughter and her daughter our good friends just like Latrica and I. Well until I see you folks again. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND GOD IS GOOD........... WHAT!!!!! ALL THE TIME. HOLLLA!!!!!!

One of my favorite stories was hanging in the bathroom and the ladies was just as hard as the men. Dice games was going on, etc. Who remember having Mr. Hunington. Remember Happy Hunington. We was the livest school. Going to the games, we was so live, compare to these kids at the game now, they are nothing like we were. I had great memories hanging out with Latrica, Shannon Patton and Shaves Rose. I defintely had some good laugh with crazy Shannon Patton. We use to smoke that damn weed and laugh allllll day. Marcel Yancey is another brother that I still hang out with. He is my son god-father and a damn good god-father. He has been a part of my life ever since. I remember running for Freshman/Junior Princess and Latrica was always my coach/agent. She always thought that I could sing, but I never knew the words. I remember being in downtown Oakland running for the bus. It was Beverly Bell, Latrica and myself and this lady (not intentionally) made Latrica fall right in front of DeLauers books store, Beverly and I thought that was the funniest thing. I also remember the double dutch bus that use to pick us up in front of the school. We did everything on that bus, that was the good days. One day Latrica brother Doo-Dirty (Datren Cash) who was part of the AC MOB (remember that) was on the bus and he had a bucket full of pickles and was selling them on the bus. Well, when we got to down town Oakland, he open up the side window and threw the pickle juice on this lady........ not funny, but it was than and you had to live in the Acorn Area or you had to be going to the lower bottom. The bus went all the way to the Amtrak station. I also remember Shannon Patton had a fight with Fred Smith and whip the shit out of him and KK (Kevin Parker) tease Fred Smith because Shannon Patton whip the shit out of him in the hall way. I thought it was Billy Burrell, but Shannon told me it was Fred Smith. Wendy Reed was also one of my close friends I hung out with in the bathroom and at the games. Those was some good times.
