Hello to ALL classmates (((Whether you were my friend or not, and I apologize LATE, for pissing a "decent chunk" of you off <--I'll bet NOW I could "get along" with many of those who were my enemies back in the day))), especially those who attended during my years of 1983-86, but most of all God Bless the Class of 1986! Thank you GOD, Thank you PARENTS, and Thank you LHHS CLASSMATES for putting up with me back in the mid 80s! Y'All WERE "GREAT SPORTS" ABOUT IT, because I woulda "shot" me, LOL. Even though I moved away (((not by choice at the time, the job))) in 1994, my "DALLAS ROOTS" and "YOU FOLKS" I went to school with from 1983-86 WILL ALWAYS REMAIN A BIG PART OF ME AND HAVE A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART ...... IT WAS THE BEST AREA, SOME OF THE BEST TIMES, BEST PEOPLE IN GENERAL, AND BEST FRIENDS, IN MY LIFE. Thank You!! In addition to the BEST people, another reason for my sentimentality for "that time/place" is partially because during that time I became "ME" and formed my mind set ---> moral/political/social views, WHICH NEVER CHANGED TO THIS DAY. I'm still the same ole me but with a LOT MORE passive/understanding way of expressing myself today. Today, unless the perfectly right "subject" or "people" get me riled up, they'd never guess I used to be in "militaristic mode" all the time, in my younger years. But still, even after 1986 people in "other places" have occasionally said ---> you're "too this/that" "too conservative" "too old fashioned" "too loudly outspoken" "too redneck" "too something" etc. If they were being very rude about it I'd often PROUDLY reply with something like --> That's because I did not go to high school in Candya$$ Yankeeville, I'm damn proud that I went to a school in Dallas with high academics, and I fit in perfect there"". That of course is a TOTAL LIE about me fitting in perfect in Dallas, LOL, I was "too outspoken" at times even for Dallas, back then. But what is true, is ME and MY OUTSPOKEN VIEWS fit in better in Dallas than anywhere else I lived. THERE REALLY IS NO OTHER PLACE LIKE TEXAS. I'M VERY PROUD OF THIS CLASS AND HAVE OFTEN BRAGGED ABOUT IT TO MANY PEOPLE, and not just about those of you in our 86 class who went on to be GREAT "well known" NFL football players, LOL. (((The last I checked my GOOD HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND Shane Zidermanis was doing patriotic and dangerous work as a secret service agent, and he was not just your average agent, he was heavily involved in the type of action you only see in the movies. God Bless all those who serve/protect this country from Domestic and International threats!!))) If I remember correctly out of about 547 students in our 1986 class, we had near 100 honor students! That is tremendous to me, and even though I was not one of those honor students I respected YOU THEN and NOW (((I should have studied harder at LHHS, I finally did at Oklahoma State later, making bot...Expand for more
