One of the names brought back a memory - Sherry COX. I'd taken a very short Sherry on a date. When I met Sherry COX somehow - I can't recall ever having a class with her - I decided I should be fair and ask 'tall Sherry' for a date, in spite of my rule that I didn't date girls taller than my 5'5”. I think she was close to six feet tall her junior year. We went bowling. I was impressed that she wasn't the slightest self-conscious about her height and I enjoyed her company. A week or so later I was looking through the Tri-City Herald and my peripheral vision caught her name - in the obituary section, as a survivor. Her father had passed away suddenly. I sent her a sympathy card, and a couple of weeks later I called to ask her for another date - only the third girl I'd asked for a second date while I was at Col-Hi. She declined, I guess she wasn't ready to socialize at that time. Not long after her mother moved the family away from Richland. I was never nostalgic about my high school years until I turned about 55. I now appreciate little things that bring back memories of the past. I've forgotten way too much. Thanks, Mary Lou. -David DOUGLAS ('62) ~ Mesa, AZ ************************************************************* ************************************************************* That's it for today.
