We thought it would be fun to post these pictures from the 1975 Alacran, our Alma Mater's yearbook!
Here's John performing at half-time with the Stage Band. He's wearing a Panamanian hat that Laura's Mom brought back for him. Dig those sideburns! His Mom forbade him to grow a beard, so in typical John fashion, he pushed it as far as he could go by growing the most impressive mutton chops and forgoing the goatee!
The group picture is of our Speech team...John is in the top row, 6th from the left. Laura's in the bottom row. 2nd from the left. We had such a great time competing all over California with John kicking ass in Debate.
We've had fun reminiscing about our high school experiences. We were such lucky kids to have lived how we did with terrific parents that trusted us and gave us the freedom to explore Southern California together. Between Speech and Band, we made so many trips to L.A. and visited so many museums, attended concerts from the L.A. Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, Led Zeppelin at the Forum to Bob Dylan at Universal (ALL of the Concerts attended together are a subject of another entry!). We are definitely the product of how we were raised and the life we lived and we are grateful. Like the Jimmy Buffet song says, 'We are the people our parents warned us about'!
