Tammy Case Ritchie:  

Life: Those of you at KHS may remember me as the odd girl who likes Roger Rabbit. Yes, I still like Roger Rabbit, but not like I used to. Read on and you will find out why. Well, I'm 32, EXTREMELY HAPPILY married, I have one beautiful daughter, and I've been hoping to get in touch with my childhood friend as well as my friends from high school who made my childhood and teenage years bearable. I'm NOT here to rekindle an old relationship. Here was my problem... I was in an abusive home and had a difficult childhood with two people who were babies themselves. My mother was 14 when she became pregnant and my father was 18... In other words, two stupid kids. Both of my parents were drug users, alcoholics, and were "swingers". I didn't have much of a childhood due to my knowledge of things that I should not have known when I was a kid. I dealt with all kinds of abuse, but seem to be pushing on with my life with a newfound respect for myself thanks to my new family (My husband, his mother, our daughter, and our animals). At times, I sink back into calling myself "Useless and stupid", but realize who's fault it really was. I now know that it wasn't my fault that I only have an IQ of 117 and slower than most people due to what my mom did during pregnancy (I've stayed clear of all those things during pregnancy, of course)... She used a bit of crystal meth and who knows what else. I'm not talking with the rest of my family because they were inactive and I don't talk to my parents either. Honestly, I wish I was adopted. I've learned from their mistakes and will NEVER repeat them for my daughter's sake! Roger Rabbit was an escape from the real world (which, as you can see... It wasn't rosy). I have put the rabbit away for good since I have no need for stuffed animal "security blankets". Those will go to my daughter when she's older. Okay, the real reason why I'm here... I'm looking for Amy Andrews, daughter of Donald Andrews, Sr. who lived next door to me on Beachcomber street in Clear Lake with her two brothers and one older sister. Amy also went to G.H. Whitcomb. As for my Klein High School list, I was looking for Heather Benson (1996) but I believe that I may have found her. I want to talk to my former teachers (they were more like parents to me). I've found my friend Kesha Rusk!!! Thanks to my former classmates in Theatre Arts for showing me compassion when I broke down after doing a monologue in Miss Ford's class. That's the very first time that I've ever been shown compassion by many of my fellow classmates. And again, thanks to my teachers for teaching me the difference between right and wrong (my parents were terrible at that as you can see). Wh...Expand for more
