Oh, and would you look at what one of my classmates did?  
[Sedro Woolley High School](http://www.jeepmail.net/swhs/1985_1.html)

Sick. Just sick.  
As my friends said when I sent it out to them…“How did you people every procreate…Damn you’re ugly!”  
Thank the gods for wine coolers.

Hey, I went to Saint Elizabeth’s, a parochial school in Montgomery County, many, many moons ago.

You know, I’m a dingbat.

While I still don’t see any checkered shirts, I’m assuming you’re the one whose first initial is Y. ? (I swear, I even looked for someone named Yancey.)

I think she went to a private school in Marin County, though it’s entirely possible you know her. I met her at Berkeley my freshman year, along with another friend who went to Casa Grande, but he lived in Rodent Park or Cotati or something.

I used to go to ska shows at the Phoenix in Petaluma all the time in HS. That was like almost an hour’s drive for us, but hey, you get out of Cloverdale as much as you can when you grow up there.

Yeah, Yancey is my first name, Lee is the middle, so ylee just sorta happened. Plus it kept me from having to fight the school toughguy everytime I moved. The yanceylebeef is another longer story.

Ha! My parents’ house is about 4 blocks from the Phoenix. We probably smashed into each other while dancing to Skankin Pickle or Let’s Go Bowling!

I forgot to post above that I met **Clothahump** at a Dopefest and realized that he’d attended the same school (St. John’s) at the same time I did, and he dated my older sister.

Well, it was just called Parkville Senior High and I graduated in class of '72. However, 2 years later, I would have been in Loch Raven Senior High - I think their first class was '74, but they opened during my senior year.

You guys don’t look any worse than the ones I went to school with in Brewster, NY.

I didn’t realize you’d done the same thing I did (senior year at Lamar - which was right next door).

Anu-la1979, my parents are from Waltham, but I went to Lexington Montesorri from the time I was three to the time I was eight. Where’d your parents end up that was just like Lexington? Weston, Lincoln, Wellesely, any of those towns around mine that think badly of my home town. No offense, I do, too. Not that I have a leg to stand on, though, as I choose to live in Lowell.

George Mason High School - Falls Church VA - Class of 1991.

Our graduating class was only 86, so I don’t like my odds of finding anyone.
