Judy, were you at one of the infamous slumber parties? Becky Cogle! That's who taught us sneak out at night and walk the streets! She was really a bad influence on us...cause she was older and "wild".
And, Johnny, I couldn't smoke very well because it made me cough..but I learned later in life. Unfortunately, it took me 30 years to quit. And, what does ROFL mean?
Yes, Jan, I remember practicing "kissing" at Joni's house...and I'm sure Bill and Chuck do too. I also remember riding in the back of a station wagon and Steve was there.

Rhea- Didn't we go see the 'spook light' that nite? By the way, Bill said that once Chuck finishes his sailboat he wants to sail around the world in it. Sounds scary to me.
Jan- I loved Mallow cups.

Where has Bruce Evans gone??? He started all of this!!! Did his computer break? BRUCE you still there? Can you hear me now? Where are your beautiful sisters. That's the only reason I was friends with you so I could get close-ups of your sisters (not really).

Hey all of you in Oklahoma, hope you are enjoying the cold and snow! I live in New York and today it was a toasty 65*! teehee! Walked around with just short sleeves on it was so nice, enjoy the week-end! Been there done that, all winter long. Try -25* wind chill, that's what we had this winter. We are so ready for spring!

Lavanna- You HAVE to go see Jersey Boys if you haven't already. Susan and I saw it in Chicago last year. It's the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. It will really take you back. We only have about 6" of snow so far but it's a balmy 28.

Lavanna-- No thats fine...she is missin all the fun!

Rhea--45 years last year and still smoking. (sigh) I do so wish I could quit. I have tried everything from A to Z. Nada zip nothing works. Everyone tells me that I like it or I would quit. I suppose there has to be some truth in that.
ROFL Rolling on Floor Laughing (smile)

Jan--LOL...I am not going to say a word!

Fran where are you at!!! You all do know that Fran is 9 days older than me! LOL She robbed the cradle way back when....teeeeheeeee!

Steve - What "spook light"? I can't remember where we went but we were going "steady"!
Johnny - there is so much available out there to help you quit...you just have to make up your mind. I took the drug and chewed Nicorette for a year! I loved to smoke too but I was smoking over 3 packs a day and I began to hate the smell, etc, etc...

If anyone wants to view past reunion group pictures, you can see them on my site.

I am trying to create a separate page to put them on, but until that time I have no other place to post them.

Rhea--Why does the name "Type House" keep ringing bells with me? What exactly did you guys do there? I have spent a ton of time and money in computer graphics and type is something we were constantly in demand for.

I too dislike the way it stinks up the house and car. (shakes his head) See no one has told me how to use the drugs AND the gum. They all give the warnings. But I did some research and just the patch doesn't even come close to the amount of nicotine that I get every day. I am a pack and half a day smoker. I am beginning to think even getting hooked on the gum HAS to be better than burning a pack a day.

I leave for just a few days, only to return and find my character smeared again! Jan was the nitcotine pusher, not me! Really,I think it was the wildest thing I could think of! Thankfully, Larry Bill cured me (earlier story).
Rhea, I remember your dad letting you drive the truck to the lake when you were 14 or 15 - he was with us. When I asked my mom, I'm pretty sure that I forgot to mention that you would be driving and not your dad!
I remeber skinny dipping in the pool a couple of times when staying the night with you. I remember each of us going to a different corner of the pool and getting in backwards (to protect our privacy.) We each kind of swam in our own little corner and then started to get out, when I saw Bill and Chuck topping the hill on their bikes! We treaded water a long, long time - I was in the deep end. I also remember treading water very quietly when the police car drove by. We slept 3 in a double bed those nights! I can't remember if they saw us or not, maybe that was to traumatic and I've blocked it out.
Did Bill and Chuck ever sleep? Anything I (or anyone else) ever did at night in Jr. High, they just appeared out of nowhere! One time, I had some girls over to spend the night on the flat part of my roof (we could crawl out from a window and there was a rail around it.) About daylight, that night (bicycle) riders appeared on my garage roof just a few feet away. How many years did you guys have those paper routes, how many miles did you cover and just how early did you leave for work?
I know I will be very busy this week, I shudder to think what might be revealed before I return.

Mary Ann- Whatever happened to that beautiful car? What would that thing be worth today??

Rhea- I remember that nite. Yes we were going 'steady' (I had given you my letter sweater) and we 'made out' in the back seat. But 'making out' then meant holding hands.

Teen Town- What memories. Remember 'baby Coors'? I thought I was such a rebel drinking a couple of those and having beer on my breath.

Did anyone but me pick up on the fact that Bill Kolb was 5 years older than all of us??? Check out his birthday on his Profile. No wonder he was so 'cool'.

And how about Clanton's after Junior High football games.

Mary Ann -I forgot all about Chuck and Bill at the top of the hill! Must have blocked that out. I knew the police were involved in some way. We could see for miles on the top of your flat roof! I remember you could tell your Mother anything and she believed you. My Dad let me do about anything I wanted because my Mom grounded me all the time (for nothing). You know for as much fun as we had, we really were "good girls". The stuff we did was pretty innocent! And, we were always at Church on Sunday morning.
Steve - it wasn't a back seat, we were in the back of a station wagon! I also seem to remember that you were the only guy who ever broke up with me. From then on, I did the breaking up. You taught me a very good lesson!

Johnnie Wayne Johnson Lavanna-- Ha! Ha ha! Its all part of my master plan...(teeeeheeee). Actually my daughter was supposed to take a pic of me since I went to all the trouble to get my hair cut and beard trimmed. It has yet to happen. Well have to get on her tonite. :) John
