Could
June 12, 1973 really, truly have been FORTY years ago? They say time passes in
a blink of an eye but was it really 40 years ago that I was attending my Grad Nite
at Disneyland? Where did the time go and yet the reality is, it seems like it
was just yesterday. Our high school
actually wasn’t scheduled to go to Disneyland for Grad Nite. You can imagine my
devastation that there would be no magical trip to Disneyland to celebrate my
senior year but luckily, the rival high school across town overestimated the
interest in their students attending this event and suddenly 25 of us were
being whisked away with “the enemy” to the Happiest Place on Earth. That night
it didn’t matter if you wore orange and black, or red and grey for on June 12
we wore black, red, white with a touch of yellow-at least in our hearts as the
dress code was-well, a real dress code.
