Well, I was a sophomore-junior in Highschool in 1974. I had a boyfriend named Dale that I dated, was engaged to for 2 years and then we split because he wasn't true-blue(he came back later and said it was a big mistake--ya snooze ya looze hun). I worked 3 jobs in the summer...one at the community pool taking care of the concession stand and ticket booth....Umpired girls softball games on Saturday mornings early..and worked at Bonanza SteakHouse...I was industrious and never tired(not like now :( ) I was in a musical production called Kaliedoscopeat school and I sang(was in swing and main choir)and danced(Hollywood missed out on a good thang---NOT):D. I had some great teachers and a few good friends.
