Mary E's Story

I want to know what happened to Todd Parker. Of all the things I've done in my life - getting married and having kids,working as an investigative reporter, meeting Davy Jones and Bob Woodward, being featured in a documentary about faith and politics and now interviewing Bill and Hillary Clinton, there are things I look back at and think - "what would have happened if...." I always wished I had dated Todd Parker. He always had this way about him that I found really appealing. I don't know why. But I was always so convinced that I was a dork and that no one wanted to date me, that I never told him how I felt. Same with most of us about someone, I'm sure. The last I heard Todd was on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. That was 20 years ago. I wonder sometimes where he is now. But then again, I wonder about a lot of people. Stephanie Goff, Daniel Wilds, Pam Trautner, Rhea and Allen Dobson. There are just some people in your life that stick to your heart, but that you never quite get around to staying in touch with. And I wonder, sometimes, who thinks the same thing about me. I live in Anderson, South Carolina and am an investigative reporter for the local daily paper here. it's a helluva job, but it seems someone is always mad at me. I've had t...Expand for more
o grow a much thicker skin than I had in high school. Still, my memories of high school are often the topics of columns and novellas that I work on now. Mr. Renfro doing his bacon impersonation. Band trips - "What's soup du jour? I think that's another word for Minestrone." "Oh, look! They brought us lemon soup, and I didn't even order dessert!" Locker notes and boyfriends stolen and found. My crush on John Savage. And Todd Parker. I hope he's okay. I was crushed when my Mom told me Blake Lilly had died. Every time I hear about another classmate death, it bothers me. I should have kept in touch. I should have dropped a line. I should have been a better friend. I shouldn't have been so stupid in school. Here in South Carolina, I am living my dream. I'm doing what I have wanted to do since college, I'm married to the most wonderful guy in the world, and I have two of the greatest kids on the face of the planet - from a completely unbiased point of view, of course. We live in a little house in the historic district of Anderson with a Newfoundland, two cats, a lizard and within the next few weeks, possibly a guinea pig. It's a good life. I love it. I only hope that everyone else who mattered to me in high school is happy with their lives too.
