A tribute to Valentines...

Happy Valentine's Day Panthers!

Do you like statistics? Are you ever curious about such things? Well, me neither, but you're going to get one today...

Did you know that 12% of our class married each other?...

Yes, 16 classmates make 8 couples and that's how many I would like to show special acknowledgement to today. The day for Sweethearts, ahhh...

Let's give a hoot, a holler and a shout out to our married couples!

Jane Baldwin & Rick Tew

Bryce Peterson & Vicky Myler

Kim Poole & Kathryn Robertson

Mark Adams & Carol Young

Jeff Randall & Debbie Martin

Bradly Hale & Julie Saxton

Clinton Wheeler & Taunia Burgon

Kim Daw & Lynette Goodwin

(I know Kim graduated from another school, but he's still one of us!)

Hope you have a wonderful Valentines Day and just forget the statistic, you're so much more than just a statistic in our eyes...

Now if ever there was a way to figure out the # of children and then grandchildren born to all of our classmates, I would have a blast figuring those stats. But those grandchildren are an elusive number, increasing monthly I'll bet.

Can you see what I 'm leading into? The classmate that I know just had their 13th grandchild with 2 on the way... I promised I would tell you in the next post. Well, I lied...

Just kidding, Jane would probably kill me. She had a great guess and she might be right, but I haven't heard from Wesley Nelson so I don't know for sure.

Wesley, are you out there? I tried to reach you through classmates.com but that's a joke. I don't think they send emails for us. They just store them!!! Don't pay for so called GOLD membership, I have several times and it's a waste.

Okay, losing my concentration here, get off the soapbox bec.

Well, I won't leave you in suspense anymore...

The grandparent who I know for sure has all of these grand kids is Kristie Bingham Whiting!

Her daughter Stacey delivered a daughter on Feb.11.

Little Lucy Kay Hall

Love is in the air...Happy Valentines day to all of you!

The apologies will just have to wait until next time, wink-wink.

How to post a comment...

Leaving a comment instructions:

Now this is about the most boring post ever, but maybe it will help you figure this thing out.
OR...make it even more complicated...

You go Panthers!

Here's the scoop...

It's spring cleaning time at our house and guess what I found. Several Seventeen magazines from 1971 -72 and good old Snake River High School yearbooks 1970-72. Oh the memories...

Annette Larsen (Little) was our yearbook editor and as I'm looking back at our 1972 yearbook, I'm really impressed by the graphics, layout and content. Way to go Annette!

Now look closer at the magazines...can you believe they were a mere 50 cents!!! And to think I had to save up to purchase one from the small wages at my part-time Saturday - answer the phones at Cook Real Estate job. The best thing about that job though was the lunch hour trip to the drugstore.

I think there were two family drugstores in Downtown Blackfoot at the time. Does anyone remember what they were called?

I had a nice visit with Beth Smith yesterday and she has a fantastic memory! She blew me away when she remembered who all of the 7th grade Home Room teachers were. Can you name them? I remember who I had, here's a clue...Rhett Butler...

Okay all of you Snake River class of 72 people, and you know who you are...

Leave a comment, (just click on comments at the end of the post) tell us what you're up to and if you have some photos to post, don't be shy...

let me know and I'll get them on here for you somehow.

I see a few of us are on facebook and several of us have found classmates.com

Chime in please so I'll know you are out there in web land and have found us. If you know of a classmate (parent, friend, etc.) from SR 1972 or there about...please let them know about this blog so they can join in.

more to come...and an apology or two... (you won't want to miss that!)
