Well I didn't come here to reconnect. I came for the memories. To see who was on here and reminisce. Its a little disappointing because so many names are missing but I'm very happy to see the ones who are here. I'll start my story back in early 1981. We moved to Mesquite from Illinois and I had to finish up 8th grade in McDonald middle school. My predominant memories of those few months are three girls. First is Dee Dee Diana Deets. She was my dream girl that year. She was nice and super cute and had a great little figure. She showed it off wearing cool colorful clothes. She was the queen of the dance so to speak. But there was a top contender. The second girls name is Lynette Conely. She was a beautiful blonde with an awesome figure. She was nice ,quiet ,shy and modest. Although she was my #2 some guys would beg to differ. One kid I cant remember his name once told me he would rather have one Lynette than two Dee Dee's. Girl #3 was Dee Richards. She was pretty and attractive and sort of high class, so she seemed somewhat unapproachable. Well that's it for McDonald. I will get back to these three a little later. Now its on to NMHS. I wasn't ever with the in crowd. My friends were mostly comprised of the kids who lived in the same apartment complex . The Coronado East/Garden House apts. A couple of them are on this site. I knew Katie Parker and her little brother Michael. We hung out and partied here and there. I remember she would always comment on how quiet and shy I was. Paul Bagget was a friend. He was cool. A party animal and ladies man. I cant forget racing up and down East Meadows in his mothers stick shift Chevette? He was giving it Hell. If she only knew. Lets get back to our class hotties now. Unfortunately I never had any classes with Dee Dee at NM. But I did get to see her sometimes at sporting events when she was cheerleading. I also never had any classes with Lynette but luckily she rode the same bus that I did freshman year. All my punk buddies and I would sit at the back of the bus. There were a couple of times when Lynette was getting ready to exit on her way home that we would all sing out in unison "goodbye Lynette". She seemed surprised and embarrassed but being a sweet girl she would reply back with a timid "bye". As the bus drove away we would all stare out the back window and watch Lynette walk away. I apologize to her if we ever made her uncomfortable. It's just that every guy loved her and that made us get stupid sometimes. I had Biology freshman year with Dee. She sat right in front of me. Remember, she seemed unapproachable to me. Well one day I found some courage and decided I was gonna get slick and make a move on her. I wasn't too swift, OK. I gave her a little love tap right on her booty. Oops, BIG mistake. She swung around and stared me down with a look of death and said three times consecutively "you better quit". All the while I'm trying to play it off like I did nothing. She stared for a few seconds more and finally swung back around. I exhaled. Needless to say that was the first and last time I ever messed with Dee Richards. There are a few other people on this site that I knew. I sat with Richard Gotthardt [John] in freshman lunch some times. Me and all my other friends were once discussing our ...Expand for more
