From John (Johnny):I haven't been to Baton Rouge in, well, 30 years. I miss the people, the food and just about everything. I do recognize a few names listed on the quest book; I hope some remember me or it will be a quiet reunion for me.

My only son Everett is in Irag (Pray for him please) and have two daughters and 4 grandchildren. They call me Pee Paw, which is cute now-----------but later? I love em to death!

I could only find one "now" picture and I still can't see how I used to look! Hope eveyone is well and am looking forward to the reunion.

Now

Occupation:Registered Kinesiotherapist Marital Status:Married No. of Children:2

From Wade:Hello everyone ! Hope to see my Tara High friends again, whom I miss after not making the 20th yr reunion last time !

Does anyone remember who said this? "You're never completely dressed 'till you put on a smile !"

I'm quite proud of my 21 yo, "Legally Blonde" daughter, a pre-law Junior at UNC-Chapel Hill w/ a 3.9 GPA, 165 on 1st LSAT attempt and soon to cut her 1st recording in her alternate music career. I'm also proud of my 16 yo, partial black belt Tae Kon Do son.

As for me, as much as I enjoy being a Kinesiologist treating many different types of disabled veterans in the hospital, it pales in comparison w/ family time.

QUESTIONS FOR MY TARA HIGH FRIENDS: Why do we dads always call our grown up daughters "my little girl"? As for our grown up sons, what happened to that little wide-eyed boy ?

Trying not to get all teary eyed and lumpy throat,

Wade Sparks
