When Kristi and Joanna were here a while back, we got out the old yearbooks and had a little walk down memory lane. Ah, the late 80’s – what a great time!
That’s Karla sitting at the piano. That’s me sitting on top. Karla was awesome for many reasons, but the best was that she had dozens and dozens of bottles of pop (Dr. Pepper?) in her room earned by spending her lunch money at our little eatery, “Con-Te-Co”. You opened my eyes to the intricacies of bartering for pop, Karla. Thank you.
Here’s Lloyd’s evil twin, Paco. This was during Homecoming in 1991, I believe. We were in charge of Casino night. You can’t see any of the stuff, but this was my first experience with ‘building’ stuff. I made a kissing booth out of the cheapest, thinnest wood – I think they were veneer panels – and teeny tiny nails. It rocked! (….and was terribly, terribly rickety.)
Things didn’t go so well after I got married, though. Here’s a shot of me narrating some country song for our lip sync contest. It was shortly after I turned into Michael Jackson.
There are other photos, but that’s for another time.
Brad says
In that first black and white photo I think that’s me in the lower right corner diving for the soccer ball. Aren’t I remembering correctly that I was really good at soccer?
Lauren says
Oh, yes. I think you were the whole team.
Beth says
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (I really did laugh out loud.)
Deborah says
I can name 9 people (first and last name) in the very top photo. How many can you name?
Lloyd says
I can’t even figure out where the picture was taken.
Beth says
I can’t either. On a sidewalk in front of Becker, maybe?
Karla says
Yeppers -- it’s the sidewalk from Becker that led to the maintenance building.
Wait, Becker? Was that the building that had all the art stuff in it? It’s that building.
Deborah says
Founders had the art stuff. Becker was the ed. building.
Karla says
My bad. I’m pretty sure that’s the sidewalk from Founders that led to the maintenance building.
Karla says
Hey, that is me at the piano! I remember that day.
And yes Lauren, it was Dr. Pepper that I got at Conteco. It was the only pop they had there that I would drink at room temperature, and since I didn’t have a refrigerator, that’s what I had to get…
Deanne says
You guys had so much more fun in college than I did. I think I will encourage my kids to go to small colleges.
Karla says
I have to say, college rocked. I was just thinking the other day that of all my friends that I’m in contact with, most of the ones that I met in high school, I also went to college with. You, Deanne, are an exception. 😉
Peggy says
More pictures…more stories!!! Dnag Lloyd…you look EXACTLY the same (@#&*)…as I’m sure Lauren & Karla do too. I hate you all for that.
Karla says
My hair’s not curly anymore. But I was tall in college, and I’m still tall now. 😀 In fact, I’m finally taller than my dad! But I think he’s shrinking instead of me getting taller…
Deborah says
No one played my game. 🙁
Lauren says
I just got to a computer. I won’t attempt last names because I know some and not others:
Myrna, Todd or Tom, some dude, Kris, ???Lana???, Dork-o, some dude, some chick, Steve, Steve’s sister, some people, and Karen.
Am I right?
Brad says
The dude in the yellow jacket is me. I LOVED that jacket. But I don’t remember getting rid of it. Maybe I stopped wearing it when I stopped playing soccer.
Lauren says
Hee hee. I knew it was you -- I had it captioned correctly, but I forgot that some people might not be able to see it. 🙂
Sorry, Brad -- star player of the Concordia Yellow Jackets. “Feel the STING of their wrath!!”
Peggy says
What did your caption say?
I often wonder if I was in college with you all…do you think we would have been in the same group. Mind you I had absolutely no musical talent whatsoever.
Kristi says
Sorry, honey, but I think this photo was before my time
Lauren says
Kris Keister (Kiester), you young whippersnapper. 😉
Karla says
Is the “some chick” Irene White? Regardless, did you know she’s Irene Brown now? That cracks me up that she went from one color to another.
