Yearbook to Facebook visits 1989: Fidler, Hoke, Zirkle and Maruski

Reading Dover Highschool’s yearbook and remembering my awesome friends that stood by me, even if I was weird….

Finally, I have a little time to write about highschool days and the people who signed my yearbook in 1986 or .  This summer math course I’m taking at York College covers 15 weeks of material in 5 weeks.  My sister Suz says I’m crazy for taking summer courses, but I have a 98% so far!

Dawn and Goofy

So my first victim from school is Dawn Fidler who is married to Scott Wolf.   Dawn had this to say in my yearbook:

Pattie,

To a really nice gal I met in 6th grade.  Never forget the great times we had, epecially at the shore.  Keep a smile on your face and your head high.  Keep reaching for the stars!  I hope you get Greg soon!  Good luck in the future with and with that special someone!

K.I.T.

Love,

Dawn (Fool) ’89

My Bestest Friend!!

Dear Dawn,

How’s that booboo you got sledding in my grandparents driveway many years ago?  No scar I hope!

How could I ever forget all the fun times we had from 6th grade until the present?  Even after we graduated, we remained close and we are just as close today.  Isn’t that amazing?  Now about that fool you are married to…lol

We were in band together and I’m so thankful we were friends.  There were many people in band I didn’t like and tried to avoid, such as Kelly Myers, Julie Rohrbaugh and Sue Eisenhour.  They were just bitches to me back then.   Now my brother Joe is married to Kelly’s sister, Kathy.   Kelly doesn’t remember picking on me, not that I’m surprised.  Now I get to pick on her at family get togethers.

Your parents were awesome back in the 80’s.  They treated me like their own daughter, just like my parents did with you.  All those vacations we took together, sleep-overs, parties, etc.  I am blessed to have you as a friend then, and now.  Of course now, when I visit you I have to put up with your goofy husband!

Back to the yearbook, I guess I really had a thing for Greg, even if he was yanking my tanktop down.  I haven’t had much “good luck” with that special someone.  Maybe I should have held out for Greg….

Love you Dawn and Scott!

Pat,

To a very nice girl I met this year.  Good luck in all your future ventures.

Mark Hoke

Dear Mark,

Thank you for the good luck wishes!  Though we only met in  1986, we have become life long friends.  I can’t say I have lots of highschool memories because you were graduating while I was just starting.  The memories I have now are much better than any from school anyway.  That wacky wife of yours, Kristin Hoke http://www.facebook.com/kristin.hoke I just adore her.  When she hugs me I get lost in her ta-ta’s, you know what I’m talking about!  Sorry about crashing your live poker chat the other night.  Kristin and I didn’t mean to distract you serious poker players, but it was so damn easy!

You and Kristin are awesome friends and I adore your daughter Amanda, also known as Amanta, according to my daughter, Tesla.

Love and whipped with chocolate,

Pattie

Third on the list of friends from highschool is Floyd Scott Zirkle.

Where were the keys?

PATTIE,

To a really nice girl that I got to know this year.  Good luck in the future.

Love,

Scott

Dear Scott,

That was such a simple note in my yearbook.  I don’t know which happened first, you signed my yearbook or the day you took me back to your parents after wrestling practice and handcuffed me to a chair.  Either way, life was interesting!  You still have those handcuffs?

On a serious note, I’m glad we are still friends.  You are a sweet guy with a good heart and handsome face.  Come visit me and bring your girlfriend, who I hear reads my blog everyday!

No longer cuffed,

Pattie

Wrapping this blog up is Deanna Maruski.

To a great girl I met a while back.  Remember chorus and anything else we did together.

Stay Gold,

Dear Deanna,

Hey girl, we had lots of fun in chorus and attending those, silly formal dances in the pastel colored dresses.  Concerning the “anything else we did together” did you have a specific moment in mind when you wrote that?  LOL  Just kidding…I think I already freaked out a former classmate with this blog.  http://girlboxer1970.com/2011/03/01/bisexual-in-middle-school/  Whoops!

I miss my highschool friends!  Come visit me soon!

Yearbook to Facebook finds 1989: McNew, Laird and Fieldhouse

Still having fun looking through my yearbook at Dover Highschool.  I currently have the 1986 year opened.  My friend Mike McNew stood out among the photos.  His 1986 photo is showing his respect for following the rules on the school bus.  He used this as the background for where he wrote to me:

Rule breaker

Pat,

To a real cute girl I met a while back.  Best of luck in the future with whatever you do and who you do it with.

Mike “89”

Go Team! Mike McNew

Mike,

That was so damn sweet of you back in 1986!  Calling me cute and everything!  It’s no wonder, because you are a nice guy.  We had a blast in highschool!  I’m kind of reliving it through college with kids 20 years younger than me.  Sadly I haven’t seen you recently and even sadder is the last time I did, it was at your sweetheart brother’s funeral.  Kelly was a cool guy and I’m sorry you lost your brother. Good memories from shop classes and Vo-Ag.  One that sticks in my head that’s weird….Gary Lightner sneaking up to the wood storage area, alone….

Aaron Laird http://www.facebook.com/aaron17315 who was a grade ahead of me, wrote this:

Pattie,

To a very sweet girl I’ve known all my life.  Keep up the good personality and don’t change for anyone.

Love ya,

Aaron

 

Dear Aaron,

First let me say, you knew all the way back in 1986 how to spell my name correctly.  Bonus points for that kind of shit!  What you wrote is perfect, sweet and now my rule of thumb.  It’s great we are still close friends.  I enjoy talking with you and riding our cycles.  We really do go back as friends.  All our lives is really true and it’s nice to have friends that didn’t want me to change.  Thank you for the dance at school and come visit me now that I’ve moved again!  No, I’m not going to kiss you under the hangers in my closet or clean your house in a duck costume.  LMAO

~P.

 

Winding up this round of blogs is http://www.facebook.com/madeline.m.brubaker or as people called her in highschool and at church, “Mich or Chelle” Do you still hate your first name so much?  I remember you just not liking it.  You always dotted the i with a little bubble or heart.  Patricia has grown on me, but I prefer Pattie.  If I remember correctly, I called you “Mad.”  LOL  Here’s what Michelle wrote:

Michelle still looking like a doll on her wedding day.

Pattie,  (bonus points!)

To a really strange chic.  Hope we’re friends forever darling.  Good Luck with Greg.  Wouldn’t you like to alfalfa him w/ him? OF COURSE!!  Silly question!

L/Y/D/N/Q,

Mich

(-n-

Mark.)

Dear Michelle,

Ok, who is Greg?  I’m thinking Greg Shaffer.  Or was his name Craig?  He was my neighbor off of Rohler’s Church Road and I really had a thing for him.  Other than him trying to yank my tank top down, he had no interest in “seeing” me.  (I scratched his arms up real bad once.  When he mom called and asked me why, suddently he was in trouble.)  Yes, I wanted to “alfalfa him!”  Do you remember what that was?  I do! LOL

You called me strange.  Thanks, I knew that back then too.  I grow on people….sometimes as a fungus.  You were a little out there too though.  You, Pam Schrum and I were tight friends.  I remember your mom and dad, especially your mom being our preacher.  How funny is that?  Do you still go to McDonald’s on Thanksgiving for chicken nuggets?   I thought that was so damn funny.  So much less work too!

Who was Mark?  I’m thinking Eckenrode?

Talk to you later Darling,

~P.

Coming up in my Yearbook to Facebook finds 1989.  Will be writing to you soon!
