Once a Tiger, always a Tiger

A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to attend my 20 year highschool reunion. What a treat! I think reunions must be more meaningful when you grow up in a small town. Not only did I graduate highschool with these folks but I played little league softball, was in elementary school plays, soccer, volleyball, basketball, track, student council, seminary, dances, dates, etc, etc with all of these same people. Heck....we couldn't lose a tooth, get a zit, or go on a date without EVERYONE knowing. Therefore....I consider them pretty much family. And that's how it felt, like I was going home for a family reunion...
The front row is a group of teachers that were able to attend. I loved getting to see and visit with them. They are in many memories...funny, serious, and scary:) All had an impact in my life in some way.
This room and these tables were the very ones I used over 25 years ago to eat lunch. Many a conversation was had sitting at these blue beauties.


Still a bunch of crazy kids if you ask me...

I loved seeing who had families and how many children everyone had. We are a diverse group of people including: nurses, hairdressers, teachers, physical therapist, doctor, hygienists, artists, police officers, border patrol agents, audiologists, etc.

I definitely remember the yellow and blue lunch tables. Those tables look new. The ones we used to sit at had individual seats...pedastool seating. Remember? Sometimes you could get a really wobbly seat. Anyway, glad you had a good time!

It was fun to see everyone in the photos. I wish I'd dropped in to say 'hello.' Heck, those guys seem like some of my kids! they certainly helped in raising Amy.
