Dickie Damron

I stayed up until 2am setting up another blog for my 50th high school reunion which will occur in 2011. I did that and sent emails to some of my classmates' addresses. Consequently, I was wired when I went to bed. I heard the clock strike 3am before I wafted off to dreamland. I then wore myself out all day, checking the blog (louisahighschool61.blogspot.com) to see if anyone had replied. I know it was too early, but I did it anyway.

I finally heard from Dickie Damron (John R., as I'm sure he's known now)--one of my favorites in the class. Dickie and I were always together if the class was seated alphabetically (I was Vicki Cheek, he was Dickie Damron). We could never tell which of us the teacher was talking to . . . our names sounded alike.
