| Favorite School Memory | Favorite? Hmmm I have several, but two come to mind... No. 1...Acing P.E. class Sophomore year - big deal, right? Not when it's 2-3 weeks into the semester!

I had to take it a 2nd time because Mrs. Korhonen thought I cheated (really, I think she just didn't like me because I was a goof off in her class). I aced it the 2nd time with her looking on totally astonished. (Pete ...(read more) |
