Excuse me being rude, but…
WTF?
Would have recognized you no problem Eric :D
The amazing part is how much that looks like my 6th grade photo.
At least you got yearbooks. Yet another proof on how time shows no mercy :D
Jarek: Look closely. Okay, more specifically, look at the only photo in color.
Gordon: Thanks Gordon and good to see you again, where have you been? Busy I would think. Believe it or not, I haven’t changed too much aside from a deeper voice and facial hair. I’m still a kid at heart, no matter what age I reach.
Greg: From the picture I’ve seen on your site, which it looks like you took down, we do have similiar features. Whether that’s a good or bad thing? ;) Only joking, of course.
Beto: I salvaged this from a drawer a few years ago, scanned it (too bad I didn’t opt for higher resolution) and have kept it stored on my server ever since. At the time I wanted to scan more items from my past, and did for the most part, but this picture captures my youth perfectly. Also, after grade school I never bought another yearbook.
I got Denise Hernandez’s phone number.. Nah, nah nah nah.. Ooo, I also got a kiss from Courtney Cox, remember that? It was my first kiss at the stop sign when I was 7-8…
The Sagen genes don’t age like normal people do. We age about one year to the average persons 3 years. So its a 1 to 3 ratio. We’re mutants like that.
Wonder Bread strikes again….at least this time you’re in color….whiteboy! Good times, Good days…you were a great son to raise, and a great husband / Dad now.
Wonder what ever happened to Mrs. Williams?
She got a job at La Sierra as a career counsilor when I was a senior, I don’t know where she is now.
I can only assume that you mean you are also extremely handsome and loved by all…haha.
Why yes, of course, Greg. Uh, of course. :)
Eric,
I can tell it’s you… I’m not that dumb.
The question was more along the lines of “why post a scan of a Grade 6 yearbook today.” Any special occassion or did you just feel like it?
Jarek: No worries, I wasn’t implying anything of the sort. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if you understood what it meant.
As for the second part of your question, it was posted for nostalgic purposes. As mentioned, I had this stored on my server and thought it would be interesting to share it with people, if not for the slight possibility that someone who reads this site might recognize themselves and reconnect with me.
I’ve lost touch with most of my grade school croonies, all but one. If you look two photos to the left of mine you’ll see one for ‘Adam Smith’. To this day we remain the best of friends.
I saw Paula (2nd row, 2nd from the left) at the Navy recruiting center when I left for boot camp, she looks a bit hotter but I guess shes a bit of a trouble maker (She went AWOL in boot camp, they dragged her back..Ha ha)
Eric,
ah, I hear you on that one. In fact, I’ve had a picture from grade 1 uploaded onto my server for some time now… That was good times.
