I'm asking too. C'mon down

We haven't seen each other in years. We might not even like being around each other. What then?

Then we'll have something to bitch about when you go home. It makes it all worthwhile, right?

Good point, plus it would add some spice to this thread instead of the rogue poster here and there who likes to agitate things. I could be added to THE LIST

EB, that's the one that owes you money. She's in FLA right now.

Since I'm still in FL [[until Monday) maybe I can track her and her deadbeat husband down before I leave.

**jcole** · November-14-09, 09:21 PM

Head northwest and you should be able to find her. Brooksville

**Eastburn** · November-14-09, 09:24 PM

Hop, skip and a jump from here. I was there today, in fact, buying a microwave at Sears. Had a great ride on the Triumph yesterday. Maybe I'll ride it down to B'ville tomorrow to track down the deadbeats.
Warn her about an old, fat guy on a green/white Bonneville.

So what does he owe you, considering the interest?

Just think of all the laughs we'll have sitting around and talking about the rouges from Christmases past.

My sister Nancy is the 6th row down and the 5th one in on the left side. It looks like she was class vice president, too. I never knew that. She played accordian in a band in high school. She went to Dominican.

**Campfire Girl** · November-16-09, 08:47 AM

Hey - sounds like a plan! :-)

**zitro** · November-16-09, 09:35 AM

CFG> Did you hear anything about Pete Kekic passing away this weekend?

**Campfire Girl** · November-16-09, 10:41 AM

Not a thing...and I don't remember him really well - except for the name...where did he live?

I think HW and I believe he transferred there after around 6th grade.

**Campfire Girl** · November-16-09, 11:21 AM

Ok, then that would make sense. We didn't "cross halls" for classes until the 5th grade, so if he wasn't in homeroom, I wouldn't have known him very well, except by name.

DV: You had a few sisters at SJ. I know you'd mentioned them previously. Could you tell me the years so I could down load them sooner?

Question : What were the numbers of the two classrooms at the end of the east hall on the Maddelein [[north) side BEFORE the six classrooms were added on in 1964? [[They would have been like rooms 101 and 102 on the 7 Mile side....Their doors were facing the hallway.

**Campfire Girl** · November-16-09, 12:10 PM

Sorry KR - before my time - they were there when I got there in 64

**12468_laing** · November-16-09, 12:15 PM

before my time, too.

MYSTERY PHOTO: Many of you in the St. Jude neighborhood during the 60s should recognize this picture. [[hint: squint). The first one to guess gets an extra stuffed cabbage at the Polish dinner this weekend. [[Thanks CFG)
