This is me in grade six. Second row, second from the right, next to Linda Kons.

What really freaks me out about this photo, after the hair (have I always needed a haircut?), is that I’m pretty sure I remember almost everybody’s name. Starting from the upper left: Judy Wiesner, Wendy Pohlman, Pete O’Brien, Mary Jean Sorensen, Tom Schuelke … okay, I’m not sure who that is in the upper right corner, but except for her the names just keep tumbling from my memory. I can’t recall what I had for lunch last Friday but I can remember nearly everyone in my sixth-grade class. Bizarre.
