MMM, this is a hard one to
answer. I was not one of the "popular" kids in school,
altho I had my own group of friends (Sharon Morrow, Patsy
Call, Tim Kensinger, Susie Yaegar, Jim Bamber, Susan Ewing).
I remember whitewashing the the "D", and what fun
that was. My bud Patsy Call had the biggest crush on Carl
Bledsoe, and I thought that David Demick was the cutest thing
on the campus. Of course Paul Ennis was a close second to
David. I had to live in the shadow of my brother, Doug Lackey
(damn him,, he is still smart), But I remember Mrs.
Alford, Ms Horcasitas. Mr. Bledsoe
was the principal, and what a threatening shadow he could
cast. Andrea Andonian fell into a patch of cactus in JR High,
and had to go to the hospital. I keep remembering all kinds
of things, but know that I don't have the space to write it
all. Ms. Flynn was the French teacher (she used to yell "it
is no sin to be a Flynn" at the pep rally's), and she
was there one year, and during the summer,,,poof, she was
gone (must have slept with the wrong person LOL). Roller skating
at the rink, dancing at the teen club (Rene' Linpinsky's father
ran the club, anyone remember him?), and then they made the
movie "Johnny Goldfarb please come home", they had
a football field built in the desert for that one (the grass
from that movie was transplanted to the bowling alley. The
senior varsity football team was in the movie too. Anyone
remember that? I guess the biggest thrill is that I went to
the senior prom with Mike Yeagar. I was only a freshman, and
am sure that he did it on a dare, but it was a blast.
Biography
Well, I have lived in Florida
now for 26 years. I am a store manager for Kmart Corporation,
and run a 15 million dollar store here in Florida. I still
keep in touch with Patsy Call (Nellis). I have been married
for 17 years now, and have one daughter, Tiffany, who is 8,
and is the joy of our life. It was hard at first to settle
here, after moving all those years, but guess I have settled
in. Being raised in the air force was probably the best childhood
I could have had. I can't imagine living in the same town,
all my life, being raised with the same kids from grade one
til graduation. Being raised in the military probably made
me a better person, more outspoken and aggressive. I would
love to hear from any of you that went to school with me (that
is those of you who might remember me LOL).

If
I am remembered at all I'm sure it is as the mouth. Well gang
guess what I did not get quieter with age. I was the girl

other girls, I was the go between, always a bridesmaid never
a bride. I left Desert and moved back to my home in Mississippi
and yes I am as southern as a southern belle and my dog is
named Scarlette. I was married for 23 years had two daughters
and one son. They are 30,28 and 25. I have three granddaughters.

Graduation;
thinking that getting away from the desert was the best thing
in the world. Wrong!!
Biography
I
came back to the desert in the spring of 73 after graduating
from Cal State Fullerton with a teaching certificate. I just
couldn't handle the smog, no stars at night, and the freeway
traffic. I got a job with Muroc and I've been here ever since,
teaching kindergarten since 76. I see DHS all the time, even
though I teach off-base at West Boron. I also see some of
our old teachers: Mrs. P, Orky,Coach Jones. Mrs.Lindsey passed
away recently, as did Coach McGowan. They named the district's
continuation high school after Bob 5 months before he died.
Looking
over this site I recognize a lot of names from my time at
Desert: anyone know what happened to Keith Kent? I am married
and have a 17 year old step-son, my husband is Project Manager,
Lockheed Martin Space Shuttle Support Services (I know, we
haven't seen the bird in years!) Mark Swann is a neighbor
and his son plays varsity baseball with my son at BORON. The
rivalry between Desert and Boron is alive and well (and very
nasty at times). We don't wear purple to Boron games but when
they're at Desert we've been known to sit on Desert's side
just to live dangerously! Steve Hurst teaches in the Antelope
Valley (his little sister teaches on base and she was in My
first kindergarten class! That was strange-parent conferences
with Mr. Hurst on the OTHER side of the desk.)

Biography
I left Desert High after only
1 year, (67), and graduated from Yamato HS in Tachikawa AFB
Japan in 68. Went to Sophia Un before joining the Aif Force
serving with Armed Forces Radio And TV in Vietnam and Thailand.
After my 4 year stay with
the military I settled in Jachsonville Fla attending college
and working for Southern Bell Telephone as an engineer/tech
for 25 years. Graduated from Un of North Florida in 1976 with
a BA in Business and US History.
I took up scuba diving in
1973 and when not at work or in school was underwater. I spent
the next 15 years exporing the underground rivers and aquifers
of North and Central Fla. To this day I can't expalin the
attraction of crawling thru cave systems several hundred feet
down and several miles back... crazy I guess.
For those who knew me... I
always had a camera in hand... as Dave Demek will attest.
He ran me over after winning his 120 low hurdle race at Mojave...
resulting in 32 stitches in my ankle and foot.
In 1979 I moved further south
to Key West... the islands of the Florida Keys. They were
quite beautiful back then and had their own charm and island
life style. I had my own 21ft boat and spent the next 15 years
exploring and photographing the reefs of the Keys.
After 25 years and 3 back
operations I was put out to pasture and on disability. Now
I travel the world in search of the perfect underwater picture.
In the last year I have been
to Truk Lagoon Micronesia, Hawaii, Guam, Lake Ontario, Wilmington
NC, the Dominican Republic diving with 40ft Humpback whales,
and several trips to the Bahama's.
I returned 3 weeks ago from
Bimini on a 65ft sailboat photographing the Bimini Road and
Bimini Wall of National Geographic fame.
I have a return trip to the
South Pacific islands in a few months where I will be diving
the WWII wrecks of the Japanese Navy. I have alot of these
pictures on floppy disc for any of you interested.
Other then that I live a normal
life, whatever that is. I just found Classmates.com and Dave Demek.
He informed me I was several months tolate for a Desert reunion...
well, there is always the next one.
