My Crazy Imaginary Dinner Party

Greenfield Village fieldtrip (Left to right) Roger Yerian, Richard Hargis, Kim Bentley, Bev Roos, Deanna Carnes.

Occasionally, over the years, Richard Hargis and his famous red & white Coke hat and jacket just pop into my consciousness like a strange 70's slide show. This kid could work a room. He was intoxicating before I even knew what intoxication was. Fun, hyper and just plain fun; he ran the show. He was a lead man, the likes of Peter Frampton and Roger Daltrey.

Recently, I saw Richard's name on one of the commercial classmate sites. I'm hoping that someone will get word to him that he's got an open invitation to my imaginary dinner party. He'll be sitting between Condoleezza Rice and Mike Rowe.

"Icon" You Say Leroy Murley?

(Ranger Leroy Murley takes a break at the park.)

How lucky were we to be taught by this man? For many years, Kim Bentley, Scott Steele, and I, enjoyed his personality all year round as we all worked at Groveland Oaks for many summers. If anyone knows how he is doing, please share. Perhaps a greeting card drive is in order.

I realize that all of us had different experiences growing up in Holly. That is why your participation is so important!!!! I want to hear from you. Send your photos to fotonuvo1@yahoo.com and tell me the story behind them!

Marty

In middle school, I was crazy about Marty Krueger. I couldn't get enough of him. I remember signing up for bowling (I hate bowling) just to get an extra hour with him.



Sure he had an attitude, but that was just Marty...always brutally honest. I remember praying that he would stop treating me like just "one of the boys."



One thing about Marty, although he'd hate to admit it, he loved his friends and strived to be a good son. He was beautiful.



We miss you Marty.

Holly Elementary at Camp Has-Been-A-Wreck

(Top row, left to right) Elaine Reeves, Kim Bentley, Dee Dee Wyckoff. (Middle row) Bev Roos. (Bottom row, left to right) Deanna Carnes, Nancy Dryer, Kelly Mills.

(Left to right) Bev Roos, Elaine Reeves, Kim Bentley. I wrote on the back that we went on a "five" mile hike. That would be like me walking from my house on Tucker Road into town to the beach and then back out East Holly Road, to say... Jeff Riddle's house on the hill. There is no way they dragged a bunch kids five miles, ha! I also find it amusing that none of us were dressed for camping.

I love photography. Always have. My parents bought their first camera, a Polaroid Land, in the mid-60's and just took off. My family and I have books and books and boxes of images. I'm so grateful to have them...because my memory fades a tiny bit everyday.

If you are interested in receiving email about our 30 year reunion, please write me at fotonuvo1@yahoo.com and I will put you on the list. I will also accept digital scans of old photos at this address. So please share! I'll put your photos in the blog!

I will be sharing links on this site to websites featuring our classmates; some of you are blowing my mind!!!

Please send the link to this blog to our fellow classmates. Early participation by as many folks as we can gather will only make our next reunion greater.

Feel free to leave a comment (you do not have to subscribe to blogger) by clicking on comments and follow the directions. I will be monitoring all comments until we are well on our way. Please leave your name.

So pour yourself some coffee (or a night cap), get comfy and let's dish about an earlier time.
