Bob Whitmire (Allison Riddle Brammer's first cousin) sat behind me in honor's English at EHS. I don't rmember which shcool year. I remember he was hysterically funny. I've told this one many times... Our teacher came around to check homework and Bob told the teacher, "I couldn't do my homework because I was 'out of town.'" As the teacher went on to the next row Bob whispered to me, "I was in Winter Park!" haha! Shelley Ann Scott (Baker)
