Reflections on the Way We Were: Childress High School Class of 1963

As we reach certain points in our lives, we often find comfort in reaching out to people who can relate to experiences that we have had or are having and to those who share our memories of a particular time in our life. Forty-five years have passed since we shared the stage in the old Childress High School auditorium and became the recently graduated Class of 1963.

Elvis ... Darryl Morris ... Priceless....

Darryl Morris and unidentified hound dog companion, 1956

After posting The Times of Our Lives: August 16, 1977 ... Elvis ... and Heartbreak Hotel (below) we received a note and the above picture from our blog friend and former teacher, Darryl Morris, who has allowed us to share the photo, along with his brief commentary, in blue. Many thanks to Darryl for this priceless moment in the times of his life.
