Fun With Old HHS Friends in 2019

This morning I had a little note from Anita Roberts. Thoughts of when we will be able to leave our safe spots and have a little get together with old friends was mentioned but who knows when that will be possible. I told Anita I'm definitely hoping Covid-19 will be behind us by 2021 so maybe we will be able to enjoy the Parade of Lanterns again.

Last year, we accidentally discovered that San Antonio now has a Parade of Lanterns on the river with floats of sculpted lanterns in the oriental style. It is part of a local celebration of the Chinese New Year that began about five years ago. Mary Nutt, Bonnie Dugi and I decided to have dinner on the patio of the Mexican Manhattan downtown on a fairly quiet section of the river and enjoy the parade.

We had a wonderful evening thanks to fairly mild weather and heaters on the patio.

We were joined by Bonnie's daughter Adana and granddaughter Cheyenne. At the end of the evening everyone was in agreement that it was an excellent outing and we would be ready to sit on the Mexican Manhattan's patio again next year for the 2021 parade.

We'll just have to hope that this pandemic is under control by early 2021 and we can do this again with a few more old freinds. All the while keeping our fingers crossed that the masses don't discover this great event and it remains an uncrowded, peaceful evening on the San Antonio River.

Final blast from Terrell Wells

I've finally come to the end of the Terrell Wells photos contributed by Jackie Wright and here they are:

If anyone out there has a trove of school photos from other Harlandale School District junior highs, we'd love to post them here.

Latest Happenings

This blog hasn't had much new information these last few years. With no reunion planned anytime in the near future, it has occurred to me that we should start sharing photos of any little get togethers with our old classmates. Even though we're relatively old at this point, I'd like to see us share more than simply obituaries and sad news.

If you follow this blog and have any recent photos of yourself with HHS classmates, it would be great to post them here so feel free to write me and send any photos. Whether you're just meeting for lunch, taking a little road trip or other outing, we'd love to have you share here.

I'm going to start this new amusement off with photos taken last week at Mi Tierra at the Mercado in San Antonio of John & Shirley Moore May, Bonnie Hannan Dugi, Mary Evans Nutt and myself.
