My sister Iris and my brother Barlow came to visit Monday, October 13th. We hung out at the house in the morning, and then decided to stroll down memory lane and visit the high school we all attended: Lakeridge. The school's had some significant remodeling and upgrades, so we wanted to check it out. We walked the new campus, then passed through the halls as well. We also went to the sports "hall of fame" wanting to find our brother David's golf picture. After we found it, I noticed a funny thing happen. Each of us being from different "eras" (class of 1988, 1995 and 2000), I noticed each of us gravitate to our respective areas for the hall and just checking out photos and standout athletes from our years. It was cool to see the new version of our old school. Warms the soul to mentally venture back into adolescence. OK, maybe not ALL of the adolescence experience, but generalities are nice! We also ventured down to George Roger's Park and checked out the new digs there. It was really cool to have siblings in town and have a couple hours to stroll down memory lane.
Note: in the picture of us in front of the Blazers practice facility, the trained eye can see the slight glistening of the Larry O'Brien trophy just over Barlow's left shoulder. That's the real thing - from the 1977 world championship, baby!
