I was wondering what picture
from my past I could share with you today. It seemed like an awful lot of work
to find a picture in a photo album and scan it. Instead I looked through the
few pictures I already have scanned into the family archives of the computer and
came across this gem. Ok, so it’s not very pretty. It is a newspaper clipping
from 1979 so it didn’t scan very well. I tweeked it and edited it as much I
could, but I guess you will just have to use your imagination.
A few years ago, when I found
this clipping amongst my aging high school memorabilia, I was struck by the
connections I still had with these people.
I lost track of Kathy, my best
friend from high school, until a few years ago, when her dad passed away. Then,
thanks to the internet, it has been easy to keep in touch again. I was in Bible
study with Pam for a while and still work with her husband. Laura’s brother was
also in Bible study with me for a long time. A few others I still run into on occasion.
Except of course for the
token male of the group. Who knew at the time that Jay would take off for the
big lights of Hollywood? And who would have ever guessed that he would die so
young?
Crazy how much I remember about these people, and how little I remember about forensics. (I do remember the sweater I was wearing was my sister Pat's.) But the craziest thing is that I was in forensics at all, considering how ridiculously shy and
introverted I was.
