High School Memories:
Getting in trouble with Dr. Greener for always having my shoes off when in the hall; Kris Sprenger, Julie Ernst and Sandy Hiller sing a Amy Grant song for Convocation and they just giggled through the whole thing and never sang a word; Singers trip to Nebraska and Colorado (now they go to Europe!)those ugly gym shorts; my best friend, Becky Lindmark (now Rebecca Bauer and still my best friend)and I always trying to get out of gym class by faking injuries; Uncle Willy; Brad Hanson imitating the teachers when they were out of the room; wearing a Gunny Sax dress (grandma dress) to the JS Banquet; the parties where Paul Frantzich's band would play all the Police songs and we got to DANCE.
