This past weekend, I had the opportunity to visit with alumni from my years at the school, take a tour, and giggle about stories from yesteryear - what an amazing time! It was fun to see old faces, which, to my amazement were very recognizeable.
Between 2nd-8th grades, I spent every minute (it seems) with the same 30 students - parties, sports, field trips, and just every day life was shared. While it seems that many remember me breaking a window in the 6th grade with a chair, I'll just claim it as a memory lapse!
It was fun to visit my childhood "stomping grounds" - while it's changed greatly, it still holds a significant amount of memories that shaped me into the person I have become. My 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Cargill is now the Principal. My fellow student and I wondered if she was also so petite or perhaps we had just finally gotten much taller!
In the end, it was a blast from the past to say the least and I can't wait to see everyone again!
(In the pictures: Fr. Jim - he was an associate priest when I attended school at St. Joe's now he is the lead priest. The second photo are the attendees from the graduating class of 1986 - I was so glad to see that almost half of our class attended! I think we all look fabulous!)
