Memories

I've been having so much fun this week on Facebook.  Yes, uber-shy Lavs has shown herself to former classmates on FB, in the "You Know You're From Bothell" group and reliving some great memories from my childhood.

And here's a priceless memory: our Senior Class (of '72) Homecoming Float in flames during the parade.  For some insane reason, our advisor permitted us to have A LIVE TORCH ON A FLOAT MADE ENTIRELY OF TISSUE PAPER FLOWERS.  With the inevitable result at left.

Needless to say, our class ended up in last place in the Homecoming Spirit competition.  Although I think we should have won based on our sheer entertainment value.

you HAVE been a fearless fosdick on fb the past week! but it is so fun isn't it???

Laurie said...

lol, it IS. And I'm meeting Harvey Funai for coffee when I go over, so that's even more bold. Though I have NO reason to be nervous about that, I've only known Harvey my entire life.

I am glad you are enjoying FB, I shudder to open my email and see all the "you know your from Bothell posts" I am hoping Tim Bendokas gets a life soon!!!

Laurie said...

haha, I think he is preparing himself for his new career as Bothell Historian. I agree there have been a LOT of FB messages, and I guess I have been adding to the traffic. This is what happens when I am left home alone for a whole week~

btw Zaids, you can turn off getting messages if you don't want to receive them from that group. You go to the You Know You're From Bothell Group page, and click on the edit settings button up at the top. Then select how/if you want to get notifications when someone posts. Or I can do it for you when I'm over :-)

LOL! I have heard about this for years, great to finally see a pic.

Hilarious. You totally should have won. I've been seeing a lot of those FB "you know you're from..." lately. You're so hip!

Laurie said...

I'm so NOT hip. That group is the only thing on FB that has ever attracted my attention. And Zaide says I'm annoying :-)
