Fifty years ago today I graduated high school. It was also Friday June 4 on that day. I can’t believe it’s been that long. I’ve been very lucky. Probably took ten minutes to call 42 names. wow.. I forget what the date was....

Over 50 years for me. But I married my high school sweetheart a year after I graduated and never thought about the raving mad raving beauties I "missed out" on. Be Well, RZ.

My best friend drank himself to death, we played football together, was the outside linebacker behind me. We ran track together, went on double dates. You have to work at it to drink yourself to death before 50. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/CL20443y/095-C606-E-94-EB-4-E3-F-8-A27-9628326-EFB87.jpg)

It will be 58 years for me on Sunday, (June 6th). Out of 250 kids, we've already lost 30%.
Spent the summer just having fun, but on Sept. 6, 1963 I was standing at attention on the Parris Island tarmac.
A year later someone mentioned some chit happening in Viet Nam, not a sole even knew where it was.
Time does go fast when you think about it. 6 years of college, one wife, three kids, 8 grand kids. Damn !!!

I don't know the date of my class' graduation................I didn't attend.  Well, let's correct that.................I sat in the bleachers watching my friends walk.................probably drinking Annie Green Springs or something out of a bota bag.  I finished in December of the previous year.

My stepfather ran my ass off the day after I graduated, never went back. He had promised my mother I could stay until I graduated.

June 1969 for me. I believe 54 in the class. Have lost track of almost all of them, as I and most of them scattered around the country. Did hear that two my HS good friends passed in last six months. That makes about 10 of them deceased.
But graduation seems like last week. Fifty two years have flown by.
