Jn Memory Of Jennifer Ceigh Jensen Everyone’s friend, a real merrymaker of life, that is what she was to us. It's hard to realize that we’ve lost someone so young and full of life ; One of our own classmates. Just as the wind blows away the dandelion seeds, God moves us on too. The special moments and bursts of laughter that we shared together, will always be dear to us. Most important is the way that we’ve all grown and become better people for having known her. Thank you Jennifer, for touching our lives with your love. 20

When I first walked through the front doors of my old school I said to myself, come off it Kano (thats what they called me back then) No ones gonna remember you, and even if they do, God knows what their going to say to you. Well 1 know just what I’ll do I answered back I’ll just spend so much time talking about their lives that they won’t think to ask about mine. Immediatly upon entering 1 caught sight of a women in a tight (very tight) cheerleaders sweater. I recognized her instantly and and yelled Buck!” She answered me and held out her arms as if to hug, me, started running towards me and much to my surprise she ran right into the wall, (she had just gotten her new contacts) As 1 surveyed the cafeteria my eyes caught a number of things... I saw; Belinda Caster surrounded by other familiar people showing off her Olympic Gold medals. Robert Covey, showing off another of his inventions (remembering back when his miraculous electric car flopped, it only went twenty feet then the extension cord ran out and it stopped) Margaret Sidle running around trying to sell those blamed insurance policies. Half-heartedly it seemed since it is only a year since her house accidentally burned to the ground. Cindy Dawson working on a mans mouth while he is being entertained by her cute little nose. Penny Wixson standing in the middle of the room all stiff and glossy-eyed. At ten second intervals she moved her eyes from center to left to right and back to center again. I guess however, if I spent 40 hours a week watching a computer do its gymnastics, I’d act like that too. Rich Hayes with a crowd of people around him going over his comedy routine. Last year he was nominated most origonal comic of the year with his great new album “A Crazy and Wild Guy” I wandered over to where the band was playing and 1 pulled up a chair. At first glance 1 didn’t recognize the members but after a few long looks, I was able to identify some alumni amongst them. The bass player was Ben Brown with Jeff Timms playing lead Guitar and Ron Gaylor on the sax. The reason I couldn’t recognize them was because they looked like sick bums. I’d seen these guys on record albums blit 1 couldn’t remember the name. 22
