Call Me Jethro

If you knew Steve Herrick '74, then you knew about Jethro Tull. Steve was and is a big fan of Jethro Tull and their music. We kept in touch occasionally since the advent of email, and I saw this photo several years ago, I think it was posted on Steve's… more »

Who Knew?

I read in the paper the other day that the Hilton School District received a grant to scan all of their yearbooks and put them on-line. Who knew? I've been doing this for fun, I didn't know I could receive financial assistance to do it. (I can't remembe… more »

Alumni/Alumnae?

I know some may have chuckled at the title of this website, thinking, this guy is so dumb. Alumni is an incorrect usage of the word. Or at least it is not all inclusive of all graduates of Wayne Central. Well, even though I have never taken Latin, I… more »

Why Sometimes I think this Website is more a Pain than it is Worth

CAUTION: This post is sprinkled with acronyms which some, especially text messaging teenagers, might misconstrue as shorthand for profanity. I will assure you that I seldom use profanity, except maybe when I hit a deer with my 20 minute old truck that I… more »

Peer Pressure

When I was in Middle School, I played in the school band. I got started a little late with a musical instrument, which was percussion, so there were several people playing ahead of me due to their experience. When I was in 8th grade, I was playing Timp… more »

Low Technology

I have gone through four scanners in, like, 7 or 8 years. I can't remember exactly. I use a flatbed scanner to scan yearbook pictures etc for this website. There are over 1300 files in the server's image directories, and many, if not most, were scanne… more »

End of an Era

One can define periods in our lives by certain events that mark the start of something new or the end of something old. Your first day of school, graduation, marriage, the birth of a child, a new job, buying a home, the passing of a parent, retirement.… more »

Fashion Faux Pas

School can have long lasting effects on kids, both good and bad. In my case, I have only recently been able to wear white socks. Albusoccusphobia takes a long time to overcome. And I didn't even take Latin. more »

Naming Rights

From 1980 through 2001, I lived either in Gananda or on Paddy Lane Rd. So we went up and down Route 350 quite a lot. Often as we passed the school, especially on Saturdays, there was someone working on the old varsity baseball field. Raking, moving dir… more »
