I will never forget my beautiful friend Sonya. We shared many memories at Carver High school especially in The Blue Guitar "Creative Writing" class. We discovered we loved writing poetry. She just reminded me of a poem I wrote in class titled, Pretty Feet.
I don't know how she remembered that particular one but she did and we both laughed about it. And on our 1980 class reunions, Sonya would call me and tell me... I want to work on the same committee you are on. I would always proudly let her know. So we could get our heads together and talk and laugh and try to get things done. This photo memory is at my 60th Birthday celebration you and your sweet daughter Kristin came to celebrate me! I will cherish these wonderful joyfilled moments forever.
