In 1972...

Before she left for Guatemala, Lady Linda posted a picture of herself in 1972. She asked what we were doing in 1972. So here goes...

I was a junior in high school in 1972. I attended Gladstone High School in Azusa, CA for the beginning of the School year, Tulare Union for a part of the time and then the rest of the year at Hanford High school. I worked at my mother's Winchell's donut shop in Hanford, CA. Making donuts and selling them !! Back then donuts were a $1.35 a dozen, and I made $1.35 an hour. I actually miss those days, I like hard physical work much better than sitting behind a desk!!

The rest of the year I was a Senior in the class of 1973, I was 11 lbs. overweight back then and would have been in the Navy as a journalist, after graduation, if I hadn't needed to lose the weight!! While I was working on losing the weight my mother talked me out of joining?? Where would I be now? hmmm They were going to put me through school and send me around the world, again I say hmmm?

This is my only picture from High School, shortly after this was taken I developed my aversion to my picture being taken. I can't stand to look at my own pictures !! So here is all I was doing in 1972, school and working... no extra curricular activities worth mentioning !!
