Another shout out ...

A big Woo Hoo to Linda Westberry Lewis ... aka 'Sherlock' for her prowess in finding our missing classmates : )

She has some help, too ... from who else ... Dr. Watson, I presume?

If you're new to the blog, please click on the previous posts in the archive. There you'll find a list of classmates who haven't yet been located. If you can help us find them, we (meaning Sherlock) would really appreciate it!

Also, we do have a wee soundtrack of our high school days on the blog ... scroll all the way down and turn on your speakers! (You may have to click on the 'older posts' button. You'll find the playlist player there, and you'll be able to turn it off. It turns on automatically whenever you visit the blog. If you don't have speakers on your computer, it's no problem. You just won't hear the music.)

The accidental blogger is taking requests for your favorite songs ... email them to phs.tigers.1969@gmail.com ... or send me a note in a comment.

Woo Hoo! We have followers!

Thanks for following the blog guys! Any ideas for blog content or photos? Please email them to me (Sally, your accidental volunteer blogger) at phs.tigers.1969@gmail.com.

Thanks for visiting ... more photos later ... of you!



Who bought these clocks?


This is the GE clock guy from the upper right corner of the previous photo ... wow, nice huh?



Linda and Didi in DeSear's ... '68-69 ?


Linda Westberry and Didi Boyd posing
at DeSear's Appliances for
an advertising shoot for the yearbook.
We know it's DeSear's because there's a notation on the back of the photo.
We don't know the year ... but the girls look good, don't they?


Check out the psychedelic clocks in the upper right of the photo.
Did GE think we all lived in a Yellow Submarine or on the set of Laugh In?
Don't know if you can see the art of the guy on the clock sign?
I'll enlarge that part of the photo ... he's priceless (and kind of scary)!
Yikes!

And 10 extra points ...

If you can guess which song on our playlist is the theme song for one of the best television series ever.

Hint: It's on HBO and it's on NOW.
