I was in high school, 9th grade, a  freshman.  Boy, does that date me. I don't know if any of my classmates would remember me or not. Didn't really stand out in high school. Wasn't part of the in crowd, the cool dudes. Actually went out on dates and just had fun.  One girl, second semester, of my senior year dropped out because of pregnancy. Out of a class of 576. My how the times have changed.  Kids are robbed of being a kid and just having fun without all the adult responsibilities. I'll never forget that day.  Mr. Kennedy gave the country hope. A rare commodity today. So did Mr. King. We've lost some of our best leaders.  But we have a number left and I believe Mr. Coats is one of those leaders.  I have hope.  My best to all,  Jim
