Tanner Abel was said to be a bully according to some students. I'm not really sure. But some of the students said they were going to keep an eye on him in order to protect me as a Freshman in high school. Maybe, he was a great guy.

Mazie Hoeft was a church friend. We went to her Hillside Bible Church when we attended Word Of Life Olympians, which was a Tuesday after-school children Bible club at that church. An old lady would make delicious peanut butter cookies & beyond that, a truly favorite, oatmeal cookies.

April Brazington, or her sister, might have said that Tanner was a bully. So, they might have also said that they were going protect me from Tanner. My dad worked for their dad, Corky. I helped a few times. We had Thanksgiving at their house at least one time. We went to borrow a smaller Nintendo system from them & had it at their house for like years. We probably never returned it to them. Eric Castro would say hello to me. He might have been like a prep. So, not sure if he thought I was cool or if he was just teasing me or what. But it was fun to say hello to him in the hallways between classes.

Amy Garfield or Misty Garner & her brother rode my bus, number 23. Oh, I think Amy rode my bus. Misty was another person that I also knew as well.
