Your most memorable moment(s)at BHS: I was elated to be going to a fall dance with Joe Willing, of all people. But JFK was assassinated and the dance was cancelled:(
Your most harrowing/embarrassing? experience: Trying to memorize SAT vocab words with Barbara Morris for Dr. Zink's quiz on our way to class from gym. I'll remember "abrogate" forever....
What kind of trouble did you get yourself into? None. Never. I was so square I was a cube!
What was your overall impression about high school? My junior & senior years were a great foundation for the first year of college, especially chemistry and English comp/vocab. My college major was Home Economics Education and I never took a HS class in it!
What's happened in the years since BHS: I had learned how to learn...and kept on learning even into retirement! I am a mother of two and a grandmother of two. My life has been richly blessed!
