With Sara's passing I have been thinking about the classmates that have passed. The more I think about it the less time I have to hold on to bad memories of people who at this point deserve forgiveness simply because I believe they simply did not know any better at the time they were hateful. A good number of people are on facebook, a few on my space, some have both, others are on classmates. At least we can keep up with each other this way. There are now 2 groups in face book Roy's reunion setup http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1121478767#/event.php?eid=54825203055 and this new one http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1121478767#/group.php?gid=27285210597 We still have a few people who are either too busy or too good to respond to contact requests. This is their loss not ours. The good news is most people are not in this group. I am not bitter just a bit disapointed in human nature. It is strange when you can remember things you have learned. Like how you learned to spell a word for the 1st time. Ms. or Mrs tallent 3 rd grade. Boys Eat Candy Apples Under Sams Elephant That separate “has a rat in it”. Or may he rest in peace Mr Majury who to this day has put the cause of ww2 as ROT (rubbber oil & tin). Pearl harbor attacks reenacted in the class room. ****UPDATE ***Mr Majury is alive and well.****I could go on but will continue this thought at later time. As I went thru my years in the brick school, I learned many lessons from this experience. I also learned from my life as an adult. Life is too short not to enjoy it. There is never any good reason to not acknowledge the importance the people play in our lives. You should never wait to pick up the phone and call someone when you think of them.(unless its late of course) Friends enter your life for a reason, and sometimes the reason is not known to us. We have to take the journey we are lead on then learn the reason. Recently I had posted a class picture that had been sent to me by a friend. My copy was destroyed in 8th grade by me after a nasty remark was made(my mistake). I was grateful to get the copy I got. At this time I will ask any one on facebook get your class pictures up on your profile If you can. I have lost all but one other which is not in good shape at this time due to its age. Also some prom pictures are showing up keep them coming guys... untill next post just a last minute thought considering a get together in nc or that area and one in nj possibly in the fall. any sugestions send an email or find me on my space or facebook. carol
