Robert - Now that wouldn't be fair of me to name my sister, would it?! I do love her, you know. But unfortunately for both her and me, she was the school's designated person to pick on and be mean to. All through grade school, she and I were both just your regular no-bodies, but she was sent to Holy Angels Catholic school during her junior high years to get her caught up on her studies, much as I don't think it did her much good. There at that school she got picked on, and that turned her mean. Ridicule followed her all through high school. And in turn, I got stuck with being known as her little sister. We were poor and not stylish, and unfortunately for my sister, she hung out with the unpopular crowd. As a little freshman, I just couldn't understand why the football players and cheerleaders picked on me just because my sister was who she was. After all, I was me, not her. I was the nice, shy, smart and almost pretty sister, but living in the shadow of my mean, dowdy, butt-of-jokes older sibling. I transferred to Miami for my soph, jr, and senior years, having a much better time of it, even making the pom squad. I still have vivid memories of GHS, you were one of the holy upper classmen, one of the elite set; smart, rich, good-looking, popular, student council. I knew you'd make something great with your life because that was what your type did, of course your crowd would all become doctors or lawyers or CEO's of airlines or something wonderful. I even actually thought our state was named after your mother! That's how important I thought, in my youthful ignorance, your family was. So you probably knew who my sister was as we all went to school together for a while, but to make you remember someone who's much better off if the "kids" of her past don't have to think of her, everyone's better off. We don't need to be a Maury Povich show. And I don't have any grudges against anyone. I'm just glad she doesn't have access to the internet or this web site. I do enjoy reading your comments here in tigerden and on classmates. Take care and keep posting.
