We had a great time visiting and catchin up this weekend. Several of us stayed and helped roll up the sidewalks and turn out the lights ... after the street dance was over! It was so great to visit with people that we haven't seen in a while. The class of 1981 was celebrating 30 years - that was my brother Rogers class. Seeing people like Bruce Lee, who comes home every year from Alaska just for Simms days makes me think more people need to get out of thier "little box" and enjoy the friendships that we made so long ago. The playing field is more level now. There are no clicks, no classes, no jocks, no cheerleaders, no nerds or nobodies - we are all adults that have been down some rough roads. We have all made it to this point, learned from our past and appreciate the roots we got at Simms.
We missed those that weren't there. Please try make it to Simms next years - same time same place - (2nd weekend in August!!) Please feel free to e-mail me picture if you would like them added to this blog site!
