Interesting Old Posts
Renee, I went back to research some of the postings that had not appeared and I found this one from you (perhaps it did show up, but I don't remember it). I'm sure I must have been in the remedial band program. I had to play the trumpet because that's what my brother Jimmy had played and we still had the instrument so........ I barely weighed 80 pounds back then so of course I couldn't play the trumpet! Boy, was I glad when they allowed me to be a Kangarette! And speaking of PE, I was not only a lightweight, but I was short! Ms. Singleton did let me be on the basketball team, but I don't think I rated high enough to have an entire uniform........I only got the top! Somewhere in these "lost" posts, I read that it was Richert who hit the light fixture with his symbols!

Oh MY God..I had forgotten that light fixture with Cymbals. Of course it was me trying to show Mr Batalorra I could crash the cymbals properly. Then he took over to show me and Crash he hit the light fixture and glass came crashing down on him cutting his forhead. He was a good sport about it however. Thank goodness.

Richert, I thought that was you. I'm sitting here laughing just thinking about it. I think you should write a new post about that. There so many posts now, I don't know how many are going through each one of them. The subjects are helping, but I still can't keep up.
We'll wait until Jeff gets back, he's babysitting this week, to see if he remembers that night at all. I doubt if he remembers.
I looked up the distance from where you will be in the fall and it is about 200 miles from Branson, but the map said it was a five hour drive. But let me know when you will be in MO. -

I did take one year of Home Ec. One of our assignments was to sew an article of clothing and we had to wear it to school. I tried to sew a straight black skirt. As I was walking to school, the button popped off. Then the zipper broke. And seam by seam my skirt was falling apart! It's a good thing I lived so close to school. I had to run home and change clothes. I don't know how I ever passed that class. I could never sew and it took me years and years to learn how to cook.
That was one of my least favorite classes. And the second one was band. There were four of us in the whole high school that had to take remedial band classes during study hall. I can't remember who the other three were. Jeff were you in there? Mr. Battalora scared me to death.
Speaking of band. Who hit the light fixture with the symbols?
