Wow! Dredged up the sediment of memory. First off, surprised anyone remembered the philosophy club. it's not like we were featured in the year book. We had one after hours party at Jeanette's house, if memory serves, wherre our sponsor Shirley (last name?) showed up, and it was embarassing for her, as a BYU grad, to be in the middle of a bunch of teenage misfits. Anyway, after a memorable all night graduation party, we went our separate ways. What an incredible "Free Bird" life she had. Understatement of the ccentury. Most of those I know about from those days are either dead or sold out to the machine. She obviously never did. I tried to sell out but was rejeccted and exiled to Mexico. May you continue your flight Free Bird - Love, The Old Gringo
