Comments:

I went to John A. Logan on a basketball scholarship and finshed up at SIU with degrees in Elementary and Special Education. I married Keith in 1996. I have been teaching in Benton and coaching for eleven years. We are currently building a house in West Frankfort. Our kids keep us very busy!! Morgan plays travel softball and basketball. We travel every other weekend to Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Missouri and parts of Illinois to watch her play. Paxton loves ball too, but says he is going to Hollywood to be an actor. Paxton just got a part in the Pyramid Players: Willy Wonka and he is so excited!!!

School Story:

The funniest school story that comes to mind is a basketball trip to Centralia when Joy took two left shoes by accident. We all tried to convince her that it looked fine and she could play with them on because we were all afraid to tell coach(we were playing for the conference championship). Then it was me who was elected to go tell him, but never fear their athletic director found two Chuck Taylor's from about 1979 and she wore those!!!! Everytime I see Chuck Taylor's I think of Joy!!!!!

I have been watching this website and reading comments all week and it just keeps bringing back memories. I like the way Angie stated "camping out" hehehehe! Now that was the funniest incident ever!!!! (I was not going to mention it, but I am glad you did-We won't get into the details, but I know we could not stay in the tent that night we ended up in the house!!)

How about all the names we had for cars??? The SunChicken, The Purdue Vista Cruiser, The Blue Blaster, The Big Brown Turd and how about Aaron Burke's Thunder Chicken!!

Oh and Angie - I will never for get BONZI!!!!!!!

The memories just keep flowing: The "midnight capers" Leslie, Kristen and myself pulled off- the best one was with the hotdogs on the antena and windsheild wipers (That was good).

Oh and poor Kristy P. who got grounded for four months after our little trip to six flags!!!! I guess your mom never knew about our trips to Tomlinson's Farm. WoW!!

How about the night Angie, Kristy, Missy, Kristen and myself decided to drag main on our bikes. We all had on spandex shorts with reebok high tops and t-shirts with the sleeves rolled up- we were lookin good!!!!
