Just found out about this site from Tom Charlton, who I have known since the 1st grade at Horace Mann Elementary. I haven't lived in Ohio in nearly 50 years, but I still have a soft spot for Hog Creek High.

I became a wildlife biologist and professor at Cornell University. I retired in 2008, but we still live in Ithaca, NY, which is often described as "centrally isolated". My work took me to many interesting places, and I have met many interesting organisms alo

Bobby was just about the first friend I ever had.  We were in 1st grade together, played at each other's houses, etc. One fall day, we both went down that large slide in the playground and ended up in a large mud puddle at the bottom.  Mrs. Headapohl, our teacher, took us both to a room in Horace Mann and put our pants in the dryer.  I will neve forget sitting there next to Bobby, both of us giggling, and both of us wrapped in a warm blanket given to us by that special teacher.  We never got to relive that moment.  Too bad.  Shame on me.
