Thirty-five words are not enough, my friend.

54/365 Ramona

You lived two streets down and were always coming over. We called you "Ramona the Pest". Now, wife and mom, you have served our country and I am proud to have a friend like you.

53/365 DeAnne

At Montana's, Tucson 2006

My oldest friend (with the longest hair). You always reminded me of a character from Little House. Friendly. Considerate. Kind. Mature beyond our years. You are like a touchstone. Thank you for just being there.

52/365 Vince

Together we loved to see what Tucson had to offer. Hot chili and cornbread in Ski Valley. Midnight hikes in Sabino Canyon. Tohono Chul Park. Fond memories and many laughs. The best kind of friend.

51/365 Father O'Flannagan

I was seven. I had stolen a rock from the front of the church because, like chalk, it wrote on the sidewalk. Guilt ridden, I confessed. From behind the screen I swear I heard you giggle.

50/365 Dr Sherfey

Not the respite we had hoped for after Ballentine. White hair, dark suits and horned rimmed glasses. Gruff and unfriendly. Scary. I could not understand why you were our principal if you were a doctor.

49/365 Mrs Ballantine

Everybody called you Mrs Valantine and it did not fit because valantine's are pretty and pleasant. It seemed that you didn't like kids very much. Meany. Sorry, but no body stacked up to Mr Rhodes.

Project *x365 Catch-Up

I am finally back. It was a nice long holiday weekend and we did lots of holiday things down in Tucson. The turkey is almost gone, the Christmas tree is up and the shopping has begun. I've neglected my 365-Project long enough so, today, it's time to play catch up. Since I was down in Tucson for almost a week, visited some memorable places and had the chance to reminisce, the nostalgic juices are flowing.

These are some people that I remembered during my visit to Tucson.
