Mr. Ujest graduated from **Troy High** in 1983. Before they moved to the Big Monstrosity That Looks Like A Prison on 18 Mile.

So, close, yet so far away.

I too graduated from the Asbestos Box that is now the old folks rec center IIRC. I think the prison’s first graduating class was '93.

**Kyla** and **Jess** both went to school in my area, Kyla in the same county and Jess one county north.

Kyla, I had a friend who went to school in Petaluma and graduated in 96, but I think she went to a different HS.

Wow, I’m impressed someone else actually even knows of us 😃

Even though my parents still live there and I’m out there fairly often, until now I had no clue they made the original HS a Middle School! As the population changes, I wonder if it will ever be a HS again 🙂

Hey gfloyd…I spent my adolescence in the Hellpit (as I like to call Massachusetts). Where are you from? As I stated above…I grew up in Lexington and my parents still live in the area (although they fled Lexington…for a town almost exactly like it).

I googled it, because I didn’t think it very likely - and there were no hits. So I was whooshed too, but was keeping a low profile about it.

Did she go to Casa? I can guarantee that if I don’t know her, I know someone who knows her. Petaluma just isn’t that big a town (although maybe compared to Cloverdale it is!).
