Irvin Smith

Wow..Has it been 20 years? How am I supposed to squish that many years of stuff into this little bitty box. Okay, stream of thought..College, Grad school, work at Saturn, work at GM, move to Delaware, get married, move to Michigan, have one kid, freak out, have another kid, freak out again, now living the dream of a middle-aged married man with wife and kids in tow and going on about it.

SENIOR EPITHET-ALL THE WORLD'S INDEED A STAGE, AND WE ARE MERELY PLAYERS, PERFORMERS AND PORTRAYERS EACH ANOTHER'S AUDIENCE, OUTSIDE THE GILDED CAGE."LIMELITE" BY RUSH---Did I really write this crap? What was wrong with me? I never have liked Rush all that much. I never really felt a part of the school or town since I only attended from 10th grade on, but I made some great friends that I seem to have lost touch with, but hopefully I can now hear from them again and we can go on to live the high life. So, I've been thinking more about memories and the big thing that comes back is cruising main on Friday and Saturday nights, hanging out in empty lots and then maybe heading out to the tower, iron bridge, levee, bayou or some other nether woods location to partake of beverages..Yeah, that was always fun. And that Senior day we had out on the football field and Mr. R. Scott Johnson got hold of the mike and made us all laugh for hours on end. I always thought he should have become a DJ or at least hit the comedy club scene. Don't forget---I won best legs contest that day due to overwhelming ballot stuffing by my friends. I still have that polaroid around somewhere, it's hidden in with the "Maid Irv" parade pictures. My family still razzes me about that.
