School Story:

During my junior year at Weber High a friend and I were kidnapped by some seniors, shoved in their car and taken to about north street and Washington Blvd. We had to walk back to Weber but were stopped as we were walking back into school and questioned by the principal as to where we had been, he marked us truant because he didn't believe our story. We found out later that my friend and I were talking to our abductor's girl friends.

Roger, it's been a long time since we worked in the Dee Hospital lab as night boys. Hope things are going well for you. I remember how intelligent you were in high school so I bet you're doing well.
