Cherry West:  

The wildest thing I ever did in High School was take acid with Yvonne before my English, class with Mrs. Fordyce! It was my Mom's 38th birthday; we were so busted! The second wildest thing was when Darryl Birdnick and I planned a party at his house during Mr. Palmer's history class. His parents went to Europe for a month. So many people showed up, that the riot squad came and a lot of our friends spent the night in jail. I'd never heard of the riot squad and I was terrified; although I didn't act like it at the time. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Erik Skidmore, because I love him very much. I would love to be able to spend a weekend with Yvonne, Nicole & Geraldine from Cariboo High School again. We email each other a lot but I really miss them & it would be a lot of fun to spend a girls weekend together & catch up just like we did back then. We'd skip class to go home & watch our soaps. I think it would be fun to see anyone I went to school with and how their journey has been. I've often wondered how my sister's friend Julie Miracle faired. I can still see her on the greyhound bus as we drove along side it crying & waving goodbye. I love cats. When I lived in Fresno I had a tuxedo cat named Miles. He was so cool. We could read each other's minds. He used to play "red light, green light" with me. I didn't know cats knew how to play games! I miss him a lot. He was my pal. I hope someone loving adopted him. Kids see & hear everything even when we think they aren't paying attention. Please be mindful around your children; your actions today may affect your child for life. My favorite teacher was Mr. Henry Fitch at Riverside Elementary and our principal, Mr. Wiltermood. They were both very gentle, caring people, who provided a certain sense of security in my life when I didn't feel I had much. If I won $100 million, I'd give some of it to Yvonne at the Friendship House in Mount...Expand for more
