High School Memories:
The morning smell of fresh deep fried donuts in the campus room; "hands on your home keys, ready type" led by Evy Swanson in a roomful of manual type writers; Steve Johnson and Marc Larson barfing on the ski team bus; hauling a heavy back pack of books home from school and back many morning without ever taking them out at home; combing a full head of hair; typing out actual Quiver pages in a waxy-smelling basement former chemistry lab; crashing my mother's Pontiac station wagon into my sister's 6th grade class room at the South Campus; Joel crashing his Chevy near Steve Johnson's cabin.
