Andia Greenlee:  

ing about 2 inches of her hair off in Mrs. Miner's class. Which reminds me, I did not like Mrs. Miner at all. At snack time no one was allowed to eat sweet snacks. All we could have were fruits or vegetables. When we made homemade peanut butter she left out the sugar because she said it was more healthy that way, but it tasted horrible. Rachel Mitchel was actually in my sister, Ashante's class with Neva and Ryan and Mary Anne, but she was my age. We were always pretending especially when we were up at the Exchange waiting for our mums to get off of work. I always thought she knew way more than she should have at that age, but then again she did have older siblings. She got transferred to Sigonella. Principle Barbara or something like that, with her "Pride and Dignity" speeches. The Jimmy Palmer crush that every girl had. Our softball team that was so unequally balanced my first year playing. The ferry trips we had to take in the morning to get over from Palau side to La Madd side. Signora Shimabukaro, our Japanese "Italian" teacher. The school pets Goldie, Snowball, Sandstorm, and Lucky who wasn't so lucky. I remember arriving in Italy and people referring to that dog in the past tense because he got hit by a car or something and then there was some little boy who kept calling every dog Lucky until my sister brutally told him that Lucky was dead and wasn't coming back. The influx of the Scottish kids, Gary, Lisa, and Scott. I remember playing kickball and Gary accidently ran his head right into Chris McQuiggin's mouth and knocked out parts of his two front teeth. Who can forget the Marys (Maryrose, Marytess, and Maryanne Jenkins) who by the way live right down the street from me here in Tallahassee. How I remember all of this I do not know, but whoever reads this and went to Vista Mare is sure to remember some of this.
