Coach Miliron was my instructor. We drove a huge Galaxie 500.

That's awful. Ours escaped any known damage, but by the time you took
D. Ed. it was probably looking bad. After all, they were letting girls take it
and you know what that meant...

That ought to get a certain someone, or someone's, to... never mind...
Prunette is looking over my shoulder...

LATER! ouch!

There must have been close to 40 graduating that year. How'd you manage?

I've got a couple of year books I'll bring next time. Maybe your mugshot is
in one of them.

I also have some early 70s Grant yearbooks...somewhere... I doubt my picture is in any yearbook, the camera kept breaking when it was my turn to have a picture taken.

I honestly have no idea where one of them came from. My siblings, that's
right, didn't go to any high school on the southside. It beats me.

Prunette's dad, that would also be Prunerella's grand dad, had one every 10
years. You could set your calendar by it.

Most boxers didn't remember much after 3 rounds with the Brown Bomber,
except maybe they hurt a lot.

Good old Mr. Huffman. He was a very nice man. He could take on any three
thugs on the south side with one hand and write their suspension passes
with the other while telling them to not get any blood on his gray suit! Did
he have more than one suit or was he like Ben Matlock?

[grantgeneral78]

has anyone found out anything about the time capsule at grant?

I think somebody swallowed it.
