School Memories

I enjoyed latin class with Miss Kimball and history with Mr. Smith. South Pas High had the largest cookies in the lunchroom, that I had ever seen, when I first moved to California. Some of my close friends and I drove up to San Luis Obispo county to celebrate our graduation. When we reached our destination, Hearst Castle, the fog was so thick, we couldn't drive up. In recent years my uncle moved to Morro bay, so I finally did get to see Hearst Castle, with my husband, Brian, on a clear day.
