Quarantine boredom.
Think about your SENIOR year in High School.

No.
2. What did you drive?
I never had my own car. I drove the family car---a burgundy Plymouth Belvidere.
3. Where did you work?
Target---express lane cashier. In order to work on the express lane, you had to be able to check out one person per minute! Way before scanners.
4. Where did you live?
St. Louis, MO
5. Were you in a band?
No, but I could have been. My mom put the kibosh on that dream!

6. Still talk to your best friend?
I just re-connected with her a couple years ago, but don't talk to her much. Now if we're talking about my cousin--Chrissy who was also my best friend in high school, then the answer is yes---all the time!
7. Ever get suspended?
No
8. If you could, would you go back?
I had great teen years, but I don't think I need to go back. I like where I'm at right now.
9. Still talk to the person that you went to prom with?
Oh, hell no!
Oh, hell no!
10. Did you skip?
Yes, on senior skip day, only to find that no one else had!

Scooter skirts. I always got dressed up for dates--no jeans!

Chicago and still the Temptations!

21. High School?
Rosary High School in Spanish Lake (north St. Louis). Sadly, this is a bad area of town now. Rosary is still there, but it merged with two other Catholic high schools (Mercy and St. Thomas Auqinas) to become Trinity High School.
