I found a box of old photos that I believed I had lost many years ago. I've spent too many hours since reviving old memories, trying to remember places and names from once upon a time. Some have gone and some remain. Many I've scanned for my kids, which some day they will wonder who the hell was that, especially since I have provided no background info. They'll have to make up their own stories and fight amongst themselves over who's right.
The photo above is one I never expected to see again. My first girl friend at our 8th grade graduation party, taken on this date in 1966. She moved a month later, and I haven't seen, spoken to or hardly thought of her in 45 years until I saw this photo. I remember her fondly, and hope she's well. Should you recognize her, tell her I said hi.

Isn't it amazing--the things we keep?
Just the other day I told some friends about being the new kid at school. Junior High. We were poor and our family moved a lot in search of the next job. I was painfully shy so a first day at any school was agony and similar to an endurance test. I remember so well the teacher saying in one class as she passed out small pieces of paper, "This is a new student. Write down your first impression of her and return them to me as you leave class today." Of course, I turned every shade of red there is but as I was leaving class, that teacher handed me a sealed envelope containing those little scraps of paper and told me to read them when I got home. Toad, they were all positive. "Nice smile" "Shy" "Friendly" "Pretty" and I knew I had been accepted. From that day on everything was easier at school.
I still have those scraps of paper. They in a small wooden box with my dolls in the attic.
Having attended 7 grade schools I remember well the feeling of being the new kid. It stays with you forever.
Gail, I am in tears!

Good heavens! She looks EXACTLY like my friend, Julie. Where was the photo taken? Did your girlfriend have red hair?
And 7 grade schools??? Thank heavens THAT is behind you, and you are now in a house you are having to clear out because you've been there so long. Pros and cons to moving around!

I recognize the ABSOLUTE 8th grade fashion imperatives of the day: "hair in a 'flip' with peter pan collar and roll up sleeves." No deviation allowed. [Why do I feel you cut yourself away from the left side of the photo, sir.]

Yes the photo has been cropped. As ADG will testify once he returns from vacation, the fellow once on the left was my best bud Dennis. I still see him often enough that I feel I may safely avoid advertising his younger self
Only smart university students can emphasize the differences between all kind of formats of written tasks each year they come to college. We tend to use good writing services able to make observations of modern life actions and point out particularities that can be key ones for examples of research proposals here full of creative thinking as well as critical reflections. It has to be a really good help given on time at the right place.
