FOOTBALL

All I can think about when I see this picture is a combination of Bruce Springsteen’s song lyrics “Glory Days” and John Fogerty’s “Put Me In Coach”

"Glory days well they'll pass you by

Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days"

"Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today

Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today

Look at me, I can be Centerfield"

I think both songs are about baseball.

-- Angels Among Us --

Wait a second…

I don’t see any wings…

Those aren’t angels…

They’re citizens of ancient Rome.

Party Pic was dated March 9th, 1985

As I recall, Chris Stone piloted Steve Adams in a dramatic come-from-behind chariot race victory.

Anyone else have any memories of this event?

Super Supreme Quart or-is-it Court

Back in the day...

It’s funny to be saying that.

Git-n-Go Convenience Stores had the Super Supreme Quart.

This was way before every drive thru and stop-n-stab had 84oz. buckets of drinks for .49cents or free with a fuel fill-up and second mortgage on your home.

Let me be the first to show you the new and improved

-- SUPER SUPREME COURT --

In the starring role and a little under dressed for the occasion is none other than your friend and mine.

W. Brent Powell

Ok, so maybe Brent hasn’t been appointed to the US Supreme Court – YET
But he is a judge – and I’m sure posting half nude pictures of judges on the internet is some sort of felony offense. No big deal… every ones got a little felony stealing wrap in their background – RIGHT!?

Brent and his wife Beth live in Kansas City. Brent was appointed to the bench about five months ago. Brent’s wife is with the US Attorney’s office and works to prosecute child porn offenders.

Congratulations on the new gig Brent. It’s great to catch up with everyone.


SO…

Send me some current pictures folks. Unless you too want to appear half naked on the blog.:)

And The Winner Is....

Sophie (Hall) Wissman

The first to respond to the Reunion letter.

Comments and e-mails are starting to come in. Sophie e-mailed me this great family portrait from earlier in the summer. Pictured are Sophie, her husband Matt and their two children. Also pictured are: Sophie’s mom, brother Anthony (Greenwood class of ’91) his wife and their daughter. Sophie and her family live in Plano, TX. Sophie teaches dance and her husband is an Information Technologies Consultant. I’m sorry to report that prior plans will keep them from the reunion in October.

Sophie, thanks so much for getting in touch with me and for the picture.

Who else is lurking in darkened corners of the internet?

COME ON….

Leave a comment or e-mail me to let me know you got the letter.

Here’s a picture taken at the Downing/Ellis family reunion last Christmas.
