6. LOL!
I just edited my post to add that I wasn't smiling. But my best friend then (sitting next to me) wasn't either.

8. I don't have the last one bigger ...
The first one I guess is in one of my mom's picture albums. The last one I trashed after we got it ... But since the last one is the only photographic evidence I have of me from this time (and with the long hair) I'll e-mail the guy who put them up asking for a bigger scan of them.

And no, I do not attend class reunions. :)

I've never attended a class reunion. ;)

I hope your friend gives you a bitter scan. Who knows, maybe you'll want to print it out one day. :loveya:

10. No printing.
But there are no other pictures of me during that 'time zone'.

There seem to be 4 people really active with wanting to meet people they went to school with over 20 years ago. I just don't get it, really. :shrug:

Yep, he had the rock-n-roll look goin' on, for sure.

Now, we both look like we should be in a Geritol ad. ;)

(I'm getting ready to scan in my second grade class photo. This ought to be good for a laugh or two. I was such a dork, even then. :rofl: )

31. i wish i could.

if i could -- you couldn't stop me from posting pics.

Call Me Wesley already posted your prom picture and you looked great. My prom date dumped me two nights before the prom that year :cry:
Don't feel too sorry for me though. It was Karma as I had broken up with my girlfriend of two years two weeks before that in order to go out with the one that dumped me.
