Dennis's Story
I am not even sure anyone remembers me from way back when-went to LJHS from 75-76 and cox from 76-77. Miss my good friends David Lawyer, Ronald Lawyer (RIP), Pete Demchuk,(FCHS) Forde Lowery (FCHS) and my surfing brothers Jay Willis, Mark West and John Hildebrand-.remember those days and going to the water park after surfing all day to rinse off the salt. . Hello to my fellow Point "O Woods.friends. Remember my VW Thing I drove. I remember Annette Lindsay and John and Gina Feran and wonder whatever happened to them. Great Neck Bulldogs football and Coach John Swanson (RIP).
Delivering newspapers on bike for Ledger Star and Virgina Pilot...Collecting baseball cards with the money earned and buying them at the drugstore on the corner off of Great Neck at London Bridge, eating at that Hardees that was located in front of my neighborhood from time to time...going to High's for a 75 cent banana split...Getting a cream filled donut from Dunkin up the street for 18 cents, working at Pollards summer of 77...Surfing almost every day during summer!!!! .
I wasn't popular or well known-just a poor kid and a nobody at CHS-wasn't invited to any of the big beach parties with the popular kids I hear about-but I had my ...Expand for more
core group of friends and that seemed to be enough at the time.
I remember when I moved here everyone wore straight leg jeans and where I moved form they did not-I told my parents I needed some new jeans to fit in better-they would hear none of it explaining that my current flared jeans were in good shape. So I saved my newspaper money and bought a pair of some off brand straight legs so I could fit in better. I bet I washed those things 5 days a week as I wore them almost every day. Actually one girl in class said to me "you wear the same jeans everyday". I can laugh about it now but times were tough in some ways.
Most of the girls at CHS would not give me the time of day in junior or high school-I bet you wish you would have now but I have no interest in those who looked down on. me. Look at me and look at you-now!
But it wasn't all fun and games though-I remember this pansy named Bobby Fisher who would write a bunch of nasty stuff in my Biology textbook when I would have to go in front of class...Bobby I would love to reconnect with you via my right hand should you be man enough to try me these days-I was a different person then and now I would right those wrongs....I will be writing on your forehead!
