I love it when I see on Facebook pictures posted from high school days. I must admit the only pictures I have are in my yearbook from senior year, which is sitting in a milk crate in my basement. The wonder of Facebook certainly is the unexpected, and fun, finds that pop up almost daily.
Today I was surprised, pleasantly for sure, by seeing a photo posted of my 11th grade home room (it was 1979, so that’s why all the big hair). The questions began immediately asking who can identify anyone in the photo? Many of us sitting on the bleachers in the gym for the photo shoot had been together in the same home room since 7th grade; you might think it wouldn’t be that difficult.
I’d been tagged in the post so I took a shot by enlarging the screen a bit to study the faces. My response added another 5 names to those already mentioned. (By the way, I’m in the front row on the right end.)
I hope as Facebook friends find treasures like this tucked away in their attics and basements, they continue to be posted. Thanks to Theresa and Linda for posting and tagging this picture today. It made me smile!
