I wasn't very social in High School, loved art, mostly pencil drawing of my love for horses, and had few friends. Back in those days, most all the Junior High friends I had split up into several different High Schools, due to boundary situations, and my then (an still now) best friend, Donna Martin, went to Birmingham HS. Donna stills lives in LA (Pasadena) and stills has several horses. She came up to visit us last year, hadn't seen her in 25 yrs., but we always chated on the phone to keep in contact.

Can't believe I'm already 66 yrs. and considered a senior citizen, OMG, never thought far enough ahead to this stage in life.
