Holly's Story
Life
Living in Salem with my husband and 16 and 11 year olds. Always have dogs and have added a teeny tiny little scruffy mutt to the "Mutt-ly Crew". Still a rocker as is my son-- 2011 we saw Bush, The Sword, Soundgarden twice including LA Forum where we turned to find Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Nirvana fame dancing for 1/2 hour only feet away! In addition to several recent concerts, we saw Beck, Black Crowes, Kings of Leon, Decemberists, Robert Randolph Band, Drive-By Truckers in last few years. Last year we got to Van Halen, Foo Fighters, RUSH and a second helping of Beck and Kings of Leon! Summer 2009 we hit San Diego for Pearl Jam, Seattle for Heaven & Hell (Black Sabbath with Dio) and even a dose of Everclear and Tesla at the good old State Fair. Got to an INCREDIBLE Mastodon concert in Seattle with High on Fire Spring 2009. February 2010 we saw Alice in Chains is in Salem. This summer we got in Baroness, The Dead Weather (Jack White's n...Expand for more
ew band) and Deftones. I'm so lucky that Ted's daughter Perri (CV Class of '80) goes with us to all of these! Got my son his third guitar (this time acoustic: I gave in!!) and both of my kids are singing in their school choirs.Get to Corvallis for sports & symphony and to see my folks with frequency. Teaching full time Spec Ed at Sprague in Salem where I still have fond memories of Paula and I sitting in the sun at the track meets... I also finished my second MS at OSU and this summer 2010. This time it's in Educational Counseling (other MS and BA from U of O).
With all the ways in which I detested Facebook, I must admit it has given me a way to look up old friends! I've even connected with several Texans from my first high school (a peer of Steve Holsberry before we both moved to this little town in the wilderness of Oregon called Corvallis...). Still, my heart can yearn for those good old CVHS days and I hope to connect with more old friends :)
