The reconnecting continues!
Today I got together with my friend, Eileen, for the first time since before the pandemic. We had a lovely visit over lunch and as we were leaving she raised the question of whether we had met in high school or junior high for the first time.
Well, it was definitely junior high school and we were all of twelve years old!
I particularly recall music appreciation class with Miss Jewett (or was it Jewell?), but we might have also been in Mr. Wang’s math class together. Band for sure — me on flute, Eileen on French horn. And probably P.E. and who knows what else!
I don’t believe we ever did the pinky swear, but after fifty years of friendship, it seems pretty clear we didn’t need it.
