Kimber Drummond:  

Most of you remember me in high school as "Kim" not Kimber. I was pretty quiet in high school and was not involved in school activities.

It was pretty small, so it was quite a challenge. We managed to get quite a few on there and still get the elevator closed. There was a certain someone who was rather well endowed at the time, and we always had trouble getting the doors to close because of her "endowment".
