Gene,...you're right,..Peggy and I graduated together,...we became pretty good friends our senior year...we had a lot of mutual friends that hung together!!! I really wish I wasn't so damn shy in HS....I never came out of my shell until college....then it was from one extreme to the other...my parents WANTED me back in a cage in college!! LOL!!
My college years were the BEST times of my life...by far!! It was fun, exciting, challenging, an awakening,..and VERY educational in EVERY aspect imaginable....but, I will say this...by the time my senior year rolled around....I had a really heavy workload...i had to take 20 hours in the summer to finish so I wouldn't have to come back for one more fall...to take ONE class.......so I bit the bullet and worked my arss off that June-August and actually graduated with a HIGHER GPA in college than I had in HS!! (That was another "opposite"..ahaha!!) Now when I get together every summer for a golf reunion with my old frat buddies, it's like a flashback to the late 70's!! We're all just older, fatter, balder, mostly employed, and putting OUR own kids thru school praying to God, that they don't act like WE did!! LOL But that 18 holes and banquet afterwards is usually one of my BEST days of the summer. It's AWESOME!!:wub:
Can't wait to hook-up with those jackasses again this summer!!:lol:
It's so cool to see guys I haven't seen in 25 years, and recognizing "some" right away, and being blown away by "others" who I wouldn've have recognized at all!! I remember what jerks some of them were back then, and now, they're cops, lawyers, doctors, financial planners, bankers, sporting goods store mgrs, one is the FSU Head Football Coach, and then there's me...LOL
Oh and the one guy we use to dog CONSTANTLY because he had the WORST luck with women EVER!!!(I swear he was STILL a virgin after he graduated).....well...he's now a Gynocologist in the UP!!
:lol:.......we always told him he'd have to PAY for it if he was gonna change his luck....now, 25 years later,..HE's getting PAID!!
Oh the stories I could share about those guys!!! Man we had some fun,......and I met my wife there her freshman year too (I was a sophmore)...so my college years were AWESOME!!
