Memories

So many, so little space! The most tramatic was moving away from Downs the day after graduation.My first deep kiss!? The "Top Ten Group." A 97 yard touchdown run at Lucas (Mom running the entire way.) Expelled from school for shooting over the building while chasing geese (reinstated before Friday's game.) Long evenings in the car with a loved one. Dragging on the south bridge. Moments when teachers treated me as an adult untimely leading to my teaching in H.S. Hanging the typewriters out of the class windows on sash cords. Sodas at the drug store. Secret pacts with friends (can not remember them now.) Last day of school.
