B.J. Morrison:  

Hey all, Thought I'd write out my story so I could remember it too. As you can see, I've been to many schools over my life and met many people. This is the coolest website because I've seen many names that I remember from my childhood. I was born in Jackson, MS and moved to Aiken, SC with my mom and grandparents where we lived for 4 years. All I remember from those days is the birth of my brother, having my head lacerated by a big wooden swing (16 stiches), and my daycare lady named Mrs. Moomie. We moved to Sylvarena,Ms at 4yrs old with my mom and grandparents to live on a big farm and I went to Sylva Bay for kindergarten and I remember taking naps, eating cheeseburgers for lunch, and a guy name Frosty who would bring his horse to school. I went to Raleigh for 1st grade and remember getting my first kiss at the top of the church steps from a girl named Delwin Weemes (funny I would see her later in years at JCJC and once again after I became a nurse-LoL). My grandparents died 6 months apart when I was eight and My mom and brother and I moved to Kosiusko, MS where I went to Kilmichael Elementary for 2nd grade. I remember 2nd and 3rd grade were in the same room there, the sausage biscuits were good, our principal was a 7ft tall guy with a big paddle, and I got saved at a small Methodist church in that town. My mom, brother, and I moved to Jackson first into a one bedroom room on back of my Aunt and Uncle's house and I went to Spann for the 3rd and 4th grade. I remember my 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Dilworth, my first crush-Monica Warren, and playing in our neighborhood with a bunch of friends and we all followed around after this 15yr old guy named Bill Alford who we thought was so cool, we all listened to Prince on those big boom boxes-LOL. We went to Bebop records to play video games, the model store to build model planes and cars, and McDonald's to get free matinee tickets for movies( Try walking around Jackson at that age now-LOL). I went to 5th grade at Casey and remember mean ole mrs. Thigpen (she would not let us have water for anything) whose son was the Ole Miss mascot at the time, I remember that big yellow big bird rain coat I had, getting beat up when I was taking up for my brother, playing the viola, and a breakdancing contest lol. I went to Oak Forrest and Timberlawn for 6th grade and all I really remember is singing "Only You" in the school play and being scared to death, and I remember winning the tug-o-war contest on field day. I went to Chastain, Whitten, and Siwell for 7th-8th grade in some order but I can't remember which. I remember Mrs. Murray teaching me in choir and I love the choir and got to be in the state honor Choir. I remember trying on pads the first time for football at Siwell and thought the butt pad and hip pads went on the shoulders and neck area under my shoulder pads-we all got a big laugh out of that one. I played 7th grade football at Whitten and 8th grade at Chastain. I remember somewhere along the way at one of my schools I met Sid Ross and we were good friends and I later met up with him again when I was running at Wesley Medical in Hattiesburg, MS where I currently work. My mom met my step dad when I was 14 and we were in church at Davis Road Baptist church in Byram, MS. My preacher, Chuck King, introduced my mom to my step-dad who is the only dad my brother and I have ever known. Mom and dad got married and we moved to Seminary. I think my mom, brother, and I had moved about 23 times up to this point. I started 9th grade at Seminary and beg...Expand for more
