Yea, Librach, my mistake. His dad used to coach baseball.
I think Joe C, my bad.
Matty, you gave Mullen 10 hours as the lead post. Having just finished cleanup from Lindsay's 2nd birthday party, I was planning on posting a longer bio. Then I saw Mullen's post and was going to wait. Then you bumped him so the door is open again for tonite.
Fellas - I'm going to have to ask you to either get a room or step outside and let Matt beat the crap out of Dave. Then again, "Matty" might be reason enough for a beating.
As for the pic - I'm with Andrea. I'm horrified. What were our parents thinking? I realize it was the 1970s, but that's no excuse.
37 weeks.....ugh! mullen take her cue and don't mess with the fat lady....ha! better you than me at this point in time....however, they don't talk back.....
mullen: have you looked on the shelves and racks....that whole 70's look is back....in a couple of months it's gonna be "what are WE thinking"!!
Yeah, that's 70's look is going strong on this side of the pond too, but there isn't as much plaid this time around. And we can't blame our mothers for it...
1 - Dave Librach, Denise Miller, Jeff Perdick, Julie Heckman,??, Darci Monahan, Lena Azar, Joe Cunningham 2 - MJ Jones, Bill ,??, Tracy Hicks, ??, ??, Judy?, Jeff Spangler, Karen ?, Chris Burkert, Howdy Doody??, Mr. Miller 3 - Frank Reitler, John Pompey, Greg Shubert, Lisa Harrigle, Michelle Heist, Kristen (Sexy earrings in 3rd Grade) Bond, we had an asian girl??, ??, ??, ??
Also it was Bill Lauderman (just came to me) next to MaryJo and look a the looks on the two bottom corners - Dave looks like a ventrilquist doll and Joe looks like Mr. Miller just hollared at him, or Chris just hit him in the back. Frank looks like his head is on crooked and Darci just saw a puppy run out the gym door. Jeff Spengler wants to hit someone - maybe HE hit Joey
I'm sooo glad nobody has MY Sheckler pix , or do you?
Is that Deanna Layton next to Julie in the first row?
The red haired kid next to Tracy Hicks - Richard somebody?
That's a Greg Shubert next to Lisa Harrigle? I thought it was a girl. Ooops, my bad!
Steve, I think you and I have the same Sheckler pics, but they're safely tucked away in my mom's house, and won't see the light of day unless I ask her to send them!
Steve - your 1st and 3rd grade shots are on deck and they do warrant concern. Vicki - i don't see you in eaither of those but maybe i'm not recognizing you.
the red head kid is Richard Mason. How can you all forget how bad he used to stink. Kristen is this the boy you beat up? The little girl next to Jeff Spangler is Karen Lechlightner. The girl in the purple shirt is Rebecca something???
now if anyone care to enlighten us on the kids in the back after Kristen please do.
maryjo...i remember that kid...richard mason...he smelled soooo bad. how could we forget him. he sat next to me in first grade...ugh....
randy - remember hanging at jojo's house in her game room and then sitting on top of her shed playing games? didn't she have some sort of plum tree that hung over the shed and we used to pick them and throw them.....i think we were like 4...cuz i moved from there when we were 5.....
ok Randy....can you remember the huge cherry trees they had in the yard. We would sit and eat till we wanted to puke. Still my favorite fruit today. We even planted some of our own out here in the country. I also remember how they had the tire sand box with everyones name on it from the neighborhood. Too cool!!!
ya know maryjo, you wrote the other day that your memory was a little fried.....if that is the case then mine is burned crisp....i don't remember the details (wish i could) but i do remember the big pictures...keep writing, it may come back..
i do remember her brother todd and my brother taking our baby-dolls and stuffing them into a drain pipe in our backyard....and i remember my brother shooting tracy hicks in the eye with his bb gun....ouch!
oh i am so sorry this is the first time today i am checking in, laughing my ass off....anyway-
andrea it was a cherry tree at karen house, they were awesome
maryjo, yes richard mason stank so bad, remember he used to chase us on the playground and try to kiss us, i probably did beat him up once or twice if youre interested pay attention on channel 69, he's on a Walters Pharmacy commercial
and vicki yes its greg shubert,the girl question made me laugh and who can sleep at 37 weeks pregnant anyway
and freeman--its john Tompey not Pompey the kid in the blue next to the asian girl as you put it(i think her name was sun or something), isnt that scott schrantz(?)and maybe spengler just got done knocking judy's tooth out
between tracy and judy is suzanne something and becky something
i dont have the names written on the back, wish i did
I remember chris burkert in 5th grad got in trouble for sticking his troll doll pencil in the water fountain, spinning it between his hand and spraying everyone with it
and thank you to everyone for the compliments on my fancy earring!
and lucas just asked me why am i wearing overalls? i said its a vest, and if i remember correctly the pants were gauchos, remember those ladies they are back in style now!! can you believe that!
MJ - what township do you live in now? I am down in Lower Macungie every day. I inspect all the new homes behind Mack Trucks off 100. Is that close by to you?
no, check out the 4th grade room 209 pic (right sidebar). it looks nothing like her. how would you know anyway? the only time you were ever in scheckler was for a prom.
I should add that all the kids tell me how there are alot of problems with their houses so.......exactly what kind of inspector are you? Just kidding!!!
MJ - perhaps you could be like Shander's mom and drive those little F....rs right to the police station and really freak them out. Anyone remember that day on the Tech Bus????
Another side note of probable little interest: My wife's mom said Rossi's had a fire back in August and had to rebuild. She has heard they have good food at reasonable prices. website: http://www.rossisristorante.com
yes, you are right kristen...is was a cherry tree...yep they were great.
pauko....you her girlfriend? i don't know about that one...got proof?
randy...doesn't perry live around here? i was home a few year ago for halloween and he came by my parents....he ended up trick or treating with me, my mom and the kids....he has a nice family.
If that's not Darci, who is it? And we still don't know who those 4 people are to the right of Kristen? I've only been awake 10 minutes. I need more coffee...
D---You are confusing the fact that we ignore your dubious (and numerous) claims of studness from elementary and middle school with us actually believing you. And please don't refer to us as your, or any other type of, gang. It makes me want to start talking like James Cagney - and that's not good, you see.
yes....my memorie didn't fail me just yet....must be all these herbal remedies from the western red rocks and crystals hanging around my house...haha! ok, it's the margaritas....
longe.....look at you thinking you know sooo much.....
randy...wow, where did they go? do you keep in touch with them now? and yes, your stories are hilarious.....i can see that look on your dad's face....he scared me sometimes even when he wasn't angry...
Andrea - Perry is north of the lehigh valley somewhere???? and I think Todd is near Harrisburg. I have lost touch with them about two years now. Being the youngest of three boys for some reason or another it was me always getting into trouble......go figure. I wasn't that bad?????
longe--read back andrea hit it, it is helen roush--andrea didnt she live in that little house right where the sand volleyball courts are now at the catty p-ground? i'm pretty sure...
no, she doesn't want you to give up, she just wants you to keep convincing yourself it was darcy! yeah, she lived down there and wasn't she friends back then with linda delp....they hung alot.
R--You stumped me, I hate to admit it, but you did. So I looked it up - turns out, in my defense, it was a movie I have yet to see. Feel free to make fun of me now. Anyone else want to guess?
For the record - Kristin IS RIGHT - That's NOT DARCI. The girl in the 1st row is Helen Roush (Sp?). I thought that's who it was when I saw it - Darci wasn't in any of my elem. classes. The Two unknown "guys" in the back row were Scott Shrantz and John Danvers....I don't recall the girls in the back row (the obviously made quite an impression on all of us!).
As embarrassed as I am to admit this...that is ME (Jeff) in the Front row in the "purple poohs"....not John. Damn - My mom could have done a better job of matching the shoes!!
I'm pretty sure the back row next to Scott S. is John (I thought Danvers),but definitely John D-something. I was wondering if that was you in the middle of the front row...That's tracy Hicks in Row 2 next to Richard Mason. Someone nailed the rest of the middle row - After Linda Delp -Jeff Spangler, Linda Lechleitner, Chris Burkett, Jim Grey (Either sticking his chest out or trying to keep from laughing because Mr. Miller just grabbed him!!).
P.S. - It looks like Laudeman was sporting his "Billy Idol" look back in the day...check out that hair!!
Why is it that I never noticed this before....Denise Miller looks possessed in this picture. Unless she's just flirting with me, I swear it looks like her head is about to spin in around in a circle!
Ok, I've got to make a quick stab at this.
ReplyDeleteBottom row: Dave Whiteman, Denise Miller, Perdick, Heckman, x, x, Azar, x
I'll leave the rest for others. I'm sure I should know the 3 I missed. I can name 13 of the others.
all i know is that my third grader will NOT dress like this! your memories are better than mine. enlighten me....
ReplyDeleteDave - you are wrong on your first name. that's David Librach. and i can't believe you don't know the last one in that row.
ReplyDeleteok kristen....go at it...did you have the names written on the back of each of your pictures?
ReplyDeleteYea, Librach, my mistake. His dad used to coach baseball.
ReplyDeleteI think Joe C, my bad.
Matty, you gave Mullen 10 hours as the lead post. Having just finished cleanup from Lindsay's 2nd birthday party, I was planning on posting a longer bio. Then I saw Mullen's post and was going to wait. Then you bumped him so the door is open again for tonite.
please don't call me Matty.
ReplyDeletejust a typo, but it is funny. you and me, this back and forth thing, it's...it's just not working.
ReplyDeletego ahead - i'll let you have the last word, really.
ReplyDeleteKristen, is that you in the middle with your earrings on?! Who's the girl with the big smile to the left of Lisa Harrigle?
ReplyDeleteFellas - I'm going to have to ask you to either get a room or step outside and let Matt beat the crap out of Dave. Then again, "Matty" might be reason enough for a beating.
ReplyDeleteAs for the pic - I'm with Andrea. I'm horrified. What were our parents thinking? I realize it was the 1970s, but that's no excuse.
For the love of God Vicki! What is it? 5:30 a.m. over there? Are you starting your day already? Better you then me.
ReplyDeleteLook mate, I'm 37 friggin' weeks pregnant. Don't mess with the fat lady! Why are you awake? It's 12:41 a.m. Go to bed!
ReplyDelete37 weeks.....ugh! mullen take her cue and don't mess with the fat lady....ha! better you than me at this point in time....however, they don't talk back.....
ReplyDeletemullen: have you looked on the shelves and racks....that whole 70's look is back....in a couple of months it's gonna be "what are WE thinking"!!

ReplyDeleteGod I could murder a frozen margarita right now!
could you hurry and deliver?
ReplyDeleteI'm going jogging later today to hurry things along. We'll see what happens!
ReplyDelete1 - Dave Librach, Denise Miller, Jeff Perdick, Julie Heckman,??, Darci Monahan, Lena Azar, Joe Cunningham
ReplyDelete2 - MJ Jones, Bill ,??, Tracy Hicks, ??, ??, Judy?, Jeff Spangler, Karen ?, Chris Burkert, Howdy Doody??, Mr. Miller
3 - Frank Reitler, John Pompey, Greg Shubert, Lisa Harrigle, Michelle Heist, Kristen (Sexy earrings in 3rd Grade) Bond, we had an asian girl??, ??, ??, ??

ReplyDeleteI look back at this photo and all I can think of is how the hell did Miller get hired. He wouldn't have a chance today !
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Steve....I sent a bunch to Matt and you'll see yourself up there soon enough.
ReplyDeletethe red head kid is Richard Mason. How can you all forget how bad he used to stink. Kristen is this the boy you beat up? The little girl next to Jeff Spangler is Karen Lechlightner. The girl in the purple shirt is Rebecca something???
ReplyDeletenow if anyone care to enlighten us on the kids in the back after Kristen please do.
How about it? The last four are nameless. I have no idea who they are. Any takers on the set of glasses next to Miller?
ReplyDeleteThe girl next to Spangler is Karen (Jo Jo) Lechleitner.
ReplyDeleteSorry Mary Jo....I typed before reading your comment.
ReplyDeletemaryjo...i remember that kid...richard mason...he smelled soooo bad. how could we forget him. he sat next to me in first grade...ugh....
ReplyDeleterandy - remember hanging at jojo's house in her game room and then sitting on top of her shed playing games? didn't she have some sort of plum tree that hung over the shed and we used to pick them and throw them.....i think we were like 4...cuz i moved from there when we were 5.....

ReplyDeleteAndrea I beleive that the best game was spud.
ReplyDeleteya know maryjo, you wrote the other day that your memory was a little fried.....if that is the case then mine is burned crisp....i don't remember the details (wish i could) but i do remember the big pictures...keep writing, it may come back..
ReplyDeletei do remember her brother todd and my brother taking our baby-dolls and stuffing them into a drain pipe in our backyard....and i remember my brother shooting tracy hicks in the eye with his bb gun....ouch!
ReplyDeleteMJ - I remember the cherry tree.
ReplyDeleteI keep in tough with the family. Karen and her husband own an Italian restaurant in the Scranton area. I forget the name of it.
Andrea - don't worry...my memory isn't the best either.
oh i am so sorry this is the first time today i am checking in, laughing my ass off....anyway-
ReplyDeleteandrea it was a cherry tree at karen house, they were awesome

ReplyDeleteMJ - what township do you live in now? I am down in Lower Macungie every day. I inspect all the new homes behind Mack Trucks off 100. Is that close by to you?
ReplyDeleteMatt - Steve is in the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd grade photos I sent you. Take a closer look.
ReplyDeleteMJ - Karen and her husband own Rossi's Ristorante in Scranton.
ReplyDeleteare we sure that is Darci between Julie and Lena? if it is she looked much different a year later in the 4th grade picture.
ReplyDeleteno it is not Darci/darci has glasses/i dont remember that girls name
ReplyDeleteThat is Darci isn't it? To the right of Deanna Layton?
ReplyDeleteno, check out the 4th grade room 209 pic (right sidebar). it looks nothing like her. how would you know anyway? the only time you were ever in scheckler was for a prom.
ReplyDeleteRandy I live in Upper MIlford about a mile from the Countryside Icecream place. I actually drive bus in the developments your talking about.
ReplyDeleteI should add that all the kids tell me how there are alot of problems with their houses so.......exactly what kind of inspector are you? Just kidding!!!
ReplyDeletelonge--for the last time, that ISNT Darci, and yes, I'm yelling!!
ReplyDeleteK---Me thinks perhaps long-e is having some fun with us. To echo Matt's comments, long-e was never inside Sheckler before his 18th birthday.
ReplyDeleteMJ - perhaps you could be like Shander's mom and drive those little F....rs right to the police station and really freak them out. Anyone remember that day on the Tech Bus????
ReplyDeleteAnother side note of probable little interest:
ReplyDeleteMy wife's mom said Rossi's had a fire back in August and had to rebuild. She has heard they have good food at reasonable prices. website: http://www.rossisristorante.com
Some talking points if you ever see Karen again.
Thanks Dave. I still talk to her brothers Todd and Perry. When I was in college I use to see her at Bloomsberg parties.
ReplyDeleteMy gang doesn't believe me, but I think I was Karen's 'boyfriend' when they moved out in 5th grade, I think. : )
ReplyDeleteyes, you are right kristen...is was a cherry tree...yep they were great.
ReplyDeletepauko....you her girlfriend? i don't know about that one...got proof?
randy...doesn't perry live around here? i was home a few year ago for halloween and he came by my parents....he ended up trick or treating with me, my mom and the kids....he has a nice family.
and didn't todd live in egypt also?
If that's not Darci, who is it? And we still don't know who those 4 people are to the right of Kristen? I've only been awake 10 minutes. I need more coffee...
ReplyDeletecouldn't sleep....kristen, did jojo have a plum tree though? i remember purple plums above her shed.....
ReplyDeletehey, could that be helen rousch (not sure of spellig)? anyone remember her?
ReplyDeleteHow does me not being in Sheckler have anything to do with that picture of DARCI, sitting next to Deanna! I do know Darci!
ReplyDeleteomg, andrea, your mind is returning, that is correct...helen rausch(something like that)!!!!!
ReplyDeleteand longe---face it you're wrong!
K---Sing it sister!
ReplyDeleteD---You are confusing the fact that we ignore your dubious (and numerous) claims of studness from elementary and middle school with us actually believing you. And please don't refer to us as your, or any other type of, gang. It makes me want to start talking like James Cagney - and that's not good, you see.
yes....my memorie didn't fail me just yet....must be all these herbal remedies from the western red rocks and crystals hanging around my house...haha! ok, it's the margaritas....
ReplyDeletelonge.....look at you thinking you know sooo much.....
Yes - long-e is SO smug. And we all know that smugness is not a good quality...
ReplyDeleteoh no mullen....smugness is a good quality....just has to be from the right person! ha! sorry longe!
ReplyDeleteAndrea - Both Perry and Todd no longer live in the area.
ReplyDeleterandy...wow, where did they go? do you keep in touch with them now? and yes, your stories are hilarious.....i can see that look on your dad's face....he scared me sometimes even when he wasn't angry...
ReplyDeleteOk so who is it!!! Where is Darci when I need her?
ReplyDeleteAndrea - Perry is north of the lehigh valley somewhere???? and I think Todd is near Harrisburg. I have lost touch with them about two years now. Being the youngest of three boys for some reason or another it was me always getting into trouble......go figure. I wasn't that bad?????
ReplyDeleteThat definitely in NOT Darci. She wore glasses.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she wasn't wearing her glasses in the picture for vanity purposes....
ReplyDeletelonge--read back andrea hit it, it is helen roush--andrea didnt she live in that little house right where the sand volleyball courts are now at the catty p-ground? i'm pretty sure...
ReplyDeleteYou just want me to give in don't you!
ReplyDeleteno, she doesn't want you to give up, she just wants you to keep convincing yourself it was darcy! yeah, she lived down there and wasn't she friends back then with linda delp....they hung alot.
ReplyDeleteWait a second....I'm confused....who's circle am I in?
ReplyDeleteMullen - name that movie quote.
R--You stumped me, I hate to admit it, but you did. So I looked it up - turns out, in my defense, it was a movie I have yet to see. Feel free to make fun of me now. Anyone else want to guess?
ReplyDelete"Meet the Fockers".....you have to see that one.....very funny.
ReplyDeleteI think the Asian girl's name was
ReplyDeleteSum Yung Ho.......ha ha ha

ReplyDeleteThat's my Cuz!!!!! Great minds think alike.
ReplyDeletemaybe you two can compare at the reunion!

ReplyDeleteNow I know why I like him...
ReplyDeleteI should be home after 6pm....wear your cheerleader uniform that will really make him want to "attack"
We may have to get a ruling from Mr. Abbott to see if anyone owes any money in the reunion jar...
ReplyDeleteFor the record - Kristin IS RIGHT - That's NOT DARCI. The girl in the 1st row is Helen Roush (Sp?). I thought that's who it was when I saw it - Darci wasn't in any of my elem. classes.

I'm not buying it! Even thought I was going to school in Wind Gap at the time!
ReplyDeleteDeanna,
