After living in North Carolina for most of my life, I finally got to move to AZ, sadly my parents passed away a few years ago, we lost mom and dad and my grandma in one year. It was a very sad year, for all of you guys who knew my parents, you know they will be greatly missed. Both of my brothers, Ken and Jeff are still in NC, both have been married twice, with ken still being married and Jeff being currently single. My thoughts often turn to the days at Grimsley and all my friends, I will never forget all the wonderful days and the sad ones too, we had at Grimsley and I hope my little girl makes good friends and has memories as good as I have from my days in high school.

I will never forget the day I got to school early to, uh, uh, do my home work, yea that's it yea to do my homework, and after parking in my usual spot and getting settled in, army 6x6's started rolling in, truck after truck pulled in disembarking troopers with guns and all. I thought about it for a little bit and decided that getting chased by mr. Glenn and the other teachers was one thing, but this was another thing all together. Ends up that it was the Clan\nazi shootings in mornignside homes the day before. Little did we know that history was being made in out little town, regardless of how darkly our town would be remembered.
