Seeing as i’m getting old and i have very few friends (no offense to those few friends i do have) i decided to look up a few people that i have not heard from in a while. Mike VanElzakker and Chara Williams are the only two people that i graduated from high school with that i have seen since or communicated regularly with. Yeah, i was a recluse in school. I was just as goofy as today - i just wasn’t cool. But i still had a few friends. The fact that i can recall all the people in the picture below is evidence of that.
Carolyn Wong and i were in sixth grade together. Six years later we worked at Kodak for the second half of the school day. I didn’t have my license (didn’t get it until i was 19) and so she gave me a ride there. I slept most of the time though. She’s living near Fairport (where we grew up) and it has been nice to reconnect.
This day in 6th grade… my mom dropped me off at the party. For some reason i had fingernail polish on one of my fingers and i was removing it in the car on the way there. I remember Carolyn’s parents being very nice. There were a bunch of girls at the party too. But honestly i can’t remember all of their names so i won’t post the picture. However, i do remember playing spin the bottle. A lucky spin and Shannon Morris and i were sent to the bathroom to kiss. Some witness came along- but i don’t remember who. I remember someone going outside and trying to look in the window of the bathroom too. I also remember that Shannon and i did not kiss.
The first kiss of my life had to wait another year or so… but that is another story. Thanks for the pictures Carolyn!
