high scool ~ fifty years later


To Bubba....
This weekend marks
fifty years
since you graduated from
Savannah High School. 

Last night
we attended round one of the reunion.
After seeing your excitment
to be there with people you haven't seen in 50 years,
I did what every curious wife would do... 
I found your yearbook
 and started looking through it intently.

Some thoughts that were written in your book......

"It really has been a pleasure knowing you."

"Lots of luck and happiness to you in the future."

"And may you find a good wife."

"I know you will do good in whatever you do."

"You have a real nice personality."

"You have been a most excellent friend."

"You are a sweet and nice boy and I will remember you always."

"If you need a good friend, you will always have me."

and last but not least......"I hope you have a wild summer."

Your whole future was ahead of you.
Now looking back,
it doesn't really seem that long ago.
Your friends look different
because they are fifty years older,
but the essence of their personalities are the same.

It was good to see them and remember
those good old carefree days at
SHS
before you all started on the journeys of your lives.

One question....
Did you have a wild summer that year?
Your good wife that you found.
