Good job Anna does'nt get to the PC very often eh? |

Wasn't my type but was the only guy that ever treated me like I was normal. He was a good friend. We used to go to Young Life together. A christian group for young people. |

Also Russell Claridge and Colin Richie a couple of really sweet boy's who I hung out with at school, they both asked me out on dates but sadly I declined, I was a bit of a rebel back then and only went for bad lads, Colin and Russell were just too nice. |

There's Anne, Sheila and Yvonne, we were like sisters. We went everywhere together right up until we all left school at the age of 16. We still send Birthday and Christmas cards to each other even after all those years. We've all gone our separate ways, married and had families but still continue to stay in touch, although we don't meet up that often now, just the occassional get together. |

I had 3 best friends when I was a kid - Liz, Doreen and Judy. The only one I ever keep in touch with is Liz, and that's only in an annual Christmas card. Of course, I remember all the boys I had crushes on. How long do you have? LOL I've lost touch with my friends from childhood probably because I've moved so far away. Arizona is all the way across the country from my hometown and I've only been back about five or six times in 26 years. I went back for my 25th anniversay high school reunion in 1998. It was weird seeing all the people I remember as 17-year olds, now in their mid 40's. It was a great walk down memory lane because it was held in the gym of the high school, but none of the people I hung around with in high school were there, so it was a little disappointing.

I can still remember the Autumn colours of the Horse Chestnut trees, the conkers falling/fallen to the ground which was ankle deep in yellow/brown leaves. The cotswold stone walling, the red corrugated tin roof of a local farmers barn, and then there was Caroline Butler. I must have been all of eight years old, Phoarrrh! Funny how things stick in your mind eh? |
