Blast from the past
Some spring (I’m an optimist) cleaning turned up these. C’mon, now, why don’t you send in your old prom pictures to share?
Covington Cavaliers, rah, rah, rah!
From left, back row, that’s Diane Shaughnessy, ?, me not looking very happy (maybe it’s the bouffant hair), ?, and Diane Hedges. Love the bubble.

This is my room in Oak Lawn with friends Suzanne Boyle, Bill Park, Donna Pote, and Raymond Rossel, our foreign exchange student from Switzerland.
And here’s my prom photo from 1969 at the Willowbrook Ballroom. Forget what the theme was. I made my dress. I remember it was too cool 
to get your shoes dyed to match your dress! Jimmy Johansen was my date, class of ‘69. We were good friends through forensics. I always thought it was pretty funny that I never had a boyfriend in high school but went to two proms — I went with Raymond in ‘70!

Love the photo of you and Jimmy, which was forwarded to me by Douglas Sonichsen. I believe I have one of the original prints among Jimmy’s keepsakes.
Sadly, I must let you know that Jimmy died last September after a long and difficult battle with cancer. He was 56.
