As the years go creeping past us I keep checking back on the people I remember attending school with. We are not getting any younger and I keep seeing different people slipping past us in the different Wheeler Alumni sites under the "In Memory of" section. It breaks my heart! I didn't know each and every one of these people personally but I do remember being in their class or maybe even just passing them in the hall. In some way or the other when I see their photos I remember them.
If you count the years in elementary, middle and high school that's a long time to see the same people every year. Rather we want to admit it or not those were some of the best years of our lives. I didn't feel so much like that back in the 80's I couldn't wait to get out and explore life. And damn have I wished so many times since then that I could go back and do it all over again. Sure I would have made some changes and applied myself more. But I doubt I could have lived a better life than what I have.
If your reading this and you went to Joseph Wheeler High School in Marietta Ga in the 80's then know that this is all about you and everyone else that attended. I come back and check up on this blog from time to time just for shit's and giggles. Believe it or not this site gets a TON of visitors every month. So I know your out there doing the same thing the rest of us are doing.
Since the birth of the freaking Internet we have found ourselves scattered all over the place in different sites trying to connect with our friends and memories. They move around the sites sell out to other sites. And the membership fees go up and down like crazy. If you slip up and join the wrong site it might be the one that no one makes use of anymore. I walked away from that foolishness and just started this site.
One day I might merge this site with another that could offer more to visitors. But for now this is it. Check out the photos and thank you so much for dropping by.
