Susie was such a nice person to me when I moved to Central Jr. High
from West. We would all go as a group to lunch across from the school
and eat crackers with french dressing on them while discussing the
world at large. Susie and Paula Jo were always together along with
Claire Rambeau and a few other girls. I loved going with the girls to
the village and "Across the Street" for curly fries. I spent the
night at Susie's a few times, and once Mrs. Woodson was making
pancakes and left the kitchen. Claire and myself were in a quandry as
to what to do and actually tried to put some more butter on the grill
and ended up buring the baster brush. We were scared to tell Mrs.
Woodson and buried it in the garbage. It was Claire's doing but I was
blamed for it and not invited back. I loved Susie's parents and her
home, my life was upside down as my parents were divorcing and we were
living with our Mother near the campus. It was a very difficult time
for me, and we ended up moving to Lawton during my high school years.
I have fond memories of those good times at Central and I always
wondered what happened to Susie and Paula Jo.
