If you go to high school, college, or graduate school in the US, you are offered the option of purchasing a yearbook for the year just finished. This book is a treasure trove of information, pictures of you and your friends, precious memories, etc.
My 1966 and 1967 Miramar yearbooks for Ross
S. Sterling High School in Houston got lost. In most cases, one can go online
and replace the lost yearbook. Sadly, these two yearbooks were not available
online.
In 2014, one of our readers was kind enough
to loan me his 1966 and 1967 Miramar yearbooks. I had to return them to him
this year. I sent the yearbooks to a professional yearbook printer some months
ago. They made copies of the yearbooks. They sent the originals back to the
owner. I waited in anticipation for weeks for my copies of the yearbooks to
arrive. I walked out of the front door of the house in the evening. I saw two
packages on the stair rails. I knew what they were. I came inside and took the
two yearbooks out of the packages. I started to review the 1966 Miramar from 56
years ago. It is a work of art and so well done! I discovered that one of my
teachers, James "Big Jim" Altman was a Tulane graduate! I shared the
contents with Elena. Today I will review the 1967 yearbook. A part of my life
that I thought was gone for good was returned to me. It's always nice to get
good surprises.
