Comments (write anything you would like to say to your classmates here):

The fondest memories of my childhood are almost exclusively from the nearly 4 years I lived in Lone Oak. So many friends to play with, activities to participate in, and such a close-knit community made for a fabulous place to grow up. Playing baseball and the amusement rides at Noble Park, riding bikes through and playing in the cemetery, the Dairyette, the skating rink, hundreds of ballgames played in backyards in my neighborhood, and the good neighbors we had on Seminole Drive are just some of the memories that jump out at me.

I had to move away halfway through the 8th grade and I have always wished I could have stayed there and graduated with you from LOHS. I have a good life and I hope you can all say the same. I look forward to catching up on what has been going on in some of your lives and if you want to email me that would be great. I just hope some of you remember me.
