Where Were You in '82? Yearbook Fun

Glencoe computer club (not the Unabomber despite the resemblance; that guy hated technology and had a hoodie, not a bowl cut '80s shag). Click the image for huge bitmap goodness but be prepared, it is not pretty... Somehow I ended up as an engineer for a large local computer company. Go figure. (Thanks Mr. Brandl!!)

"...the Evergreen 8th grade girls basketball team left everyone smiling...The green team had a record of 10 wins and 0 losses...#22 voted Best Defensive Player"

Hmmm, where could she possibly find a sports friendly job in the Hillsboro/Beaverton area?

Hair seems to be a theme here.

This Evergreen counselor seems vaguely familiar. He looks like a problem solver; full of energy and ready to change things for the better.

Well, maybe after 25 years he has a cushy low effort district job where he doesn't have to deal with stressful change, over-involved parents, torches, pitchforks, etc.

Please, no hair comments. Seriously. Just don't.

Socio-economic Factors in 'Play'?

I was looking at the section of Hillsboro being added to the Indian Hills Boundary and noticed that the block of homes is immediately west of Hillsboro City Park & Recreation's Frances Street Park, literally across the street.

As I was looking at the images, it finally clicked on why Paula Jean Park is getting pushed out of the best elementary school in the area and these folks are getting pulled in.

Paula Jean Park has the biggest playground climbing structure in the area!



I guess they want to make sure that our kids don't get all the 'perks'. Seems like a reasonable argument but I hope we can at least have a discussion about it.
