Charles's Story
Life
I am not really sure what I should put here. I have always been a gearhead... All my life.
By far my very best friend is my dog.
If you have figured out that marriage is not for you and all of your kids are grown, what do you do next?
I left Abilene in 1984 and have never been back to live. I have been through a few times to visit.
UPDATE...
I have since moved to Dallas, TX and am starting life over here... It is funny how life throws you curve balls. You just have to keep catching them though. Life is really starting to happen again. Divorce just takes all the wind out of your sails for what seems like an eternity, but now I am at it again, and enjoying it all.
School
I think it is interesting that biggest crush is first on this list, because that will be my first and only topic for the moment.
Kelly Richer was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Yes, she was my crush...Expand for more
from afar. There were issues that made for difficulty, and their name was James Talley. Hell, he would give you the evil eye for just looking at her, at least he did to me. I did see her from across the room at the 20th reunion, but I had my wife with me who also has a jealous streak. She looked just as beautiful then.
UPDATE...
Kelly and I have become good friends. I found her here on classmates, and we talk on occasion.
I have also found a couple of other classmates and I am getting to know them too. Melinda, you know who you are... :)
