Ray Pearson:  

In a perfect world reunion organizers would not contact me. UDHS is time in my life I wish I could forget. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ever notice, when you pay the subscription fee for CM, your Spam increases ten fold? ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl 52 Champions! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I think it's odd when people sign my guestbook every few days. What's worse is when I don't know them. ________________________________________________________________ I saw something on TV recently. July 2015. A young woman was serenading a love interest. The way the scene was being played out caused a repressed memory to surface. Back in Three Tuns we had become friends. It hadn't occurred to me to ask for your phone number or even arrange any type of activity outside of school. Date or otherwise.
