Dee Dee Mills:  

Dee Dee Blassingame Mills I married in 1976, had two kids...divorced and remarried in 1979. There was a small 5 yr Class Reunion in Dallas. I took my current boyfriend at that time, maybe those of you that where there will remember him? His name was Gaylon. I call him my Husband now! We will be married 29 yrs Nov 17th this year! I raised his two kids and my two kids. You can see pics of them in my family album. What you wont see many pics of is of MY son, Jason Scott. He shot himself Dec 10, 1994. Life is very hard sometime. Dealing with his death has been the hardest thing Ive ever done. Then after that would be dealing with raising the other three, especially after he died. I left Medina Home right before graduation in Jan 1974. (thanks to Richard Estes! If anyone wants to know THAT story, let me know!) I was 19 when I left. All adults at MCH made us think that 18 was not a magic age and we couldnt just get up and leave, but that was a LIE. So I stayed until I couldnt stand it with the Superintendent of MCH telling me that if I moved into town with one of my classmates families (so I could graduate), he would use ALL HIS POWER and cause trouble for them and maybe cause them to lose their jobs, etc. Like the naive kid I was, I believed him and told him I would have to LEAVE and go to some of my family. He put me on a bus with $15.00 and off I went. The first thing I did was go straight to buy a pack of cigarettes! My way of defying them a last time! Wish I hadnt tho, still smoking and have health issues because of it. Simpson told me I was a bad influence on ALL my classmates. I would like to know if maybe I WAS. Are there ANY here that remember me doing or saying anything that would cause YOU to do wrong? Id really like to know what it was that was wrong in the first place. Not that I was perfect, but was treated like dirt by the admins, house parents, etc. Mrs. Offe (whatever her name was) once slapped me in the face with a piece of paper...for NOT getting up and out of HER way fast enough. (we were getting off the bus) I guess I have lots of resentment towards MCH in many ways. But I do have tons of good memories with lots of my friends/classmates/roommates, etc!! Using the STORY WIZARD, I thought Id answer, or tell a little more about myself. Whats the wildest thing I ever did in MCH? Let Larry Y in the bathroom window in the middle of the night...(Im goin' to hell!) 2nd would have to be sneaking up the mountain behind my cottage to have a little bitty smoke with someones daughter (I never told on HER) Where have I lived and why did I move: From Medina, the bus took me to my Aunts in Van Alstyne, Tx. Lived with Mother in Sherman, but she couldnt support me. I moved to Abilene and MCH agreed to help pay for my education. I was stupid and naive, and when two of my professors singled me out and told me how stupid my paper was, I quit and never went back. I didnt know the diff between a book report and a thesis! Thats one of my greatest regrets, not fighting thru Abilene CHRISTIAN College regardless of their professors arrogance, and finishing with a degree!! I stayed in Abilene and did the little party, party all the time for a while. Met first husband, Scott Wagner who turned out to be completely nuts and very violent. After the last beating, I finally got OUT, went to work for Moore Bros Co, (anyone remember the Gibson Stores?) met my current husband in April of 1979 there!. We married and lived in Abilene for another 4 years before moving to Sweetwater, back to Abilene, on to San Angelo then 4 years in Big Spring, Tx. And finally, thankfully, moved to Waco in 1993 and we have been here since. He was/is a Goodyear Store Manager. The STORY WIZARD says the ONE person Id like to see again is........ Well, I cant answer that question exactly like that! There are too many Id like to see and spend time REALLY talking! Making a change here because I have talked to Liz Jensen and all the memories of she and I just flooded back. She was so serious but so funny too. She thought I was smart and kind. She was my real friend out of all the others, I suppose. Look her up on here cuz shes written some of her life story and you that knew her will be surprised and proud of what shes done! She is still the same sweet and caring person she was 37 yrs ago! Lisa Swoffard, my memories of her are just pure FUN! I just loved her! Wish I could find her, but havent looked for her in a long time. Lucy Yarborough, she was one person that influenced me and I loved her. Mrs Brubaker, why did she HATE me? Spitting on me was one thing she did that was just too horrible to do to a 15 yr old. Wanna know why she spit on me? You'll have to ask. Oh gosh, thats turning into not so fun memories. There are many others I would love to see and just catch up with! I cant even name them all! Starr Kelton, she was one of the ONLY MCH kids that totally accepted me (or at least I thought she did!) and for that I loved her. I HAVE gotten in touch with her recently and we will be catching up a whole lot! Lets see, next on the Story Wizard is Share your Obessions. Hmmm, can I do that here? LOL Just kidding! My first obsession has to be my husband Gaylon. And of course my family. BUT, I LOVE ELVIS! Yep, it HAS to be called an obsession! Ive only been a big fan since 1987 after hed been gone for 10 yrs, but Ive made up ...Expand for more
