Hickman Mills and Ruskin High Schools Class of '74 Memorial

[@luciasabrinadimaria614]

Try to stay in contact. Brought back memories. Haven't talked to anyone in probably 35 yrs.

[@jkhill74]

Little late to reply here. You should consider Facebook and the Ruskin/Hickman group on there. I'm sure you'll find people you know. It can be fun reminiscing. Something to think about. 🙂

[@luciasabrinadimaria614]

You're right. We had a blast. Then riding our bikes to Kmart, on 95th Street(Bannister road), then to Venture. Before they built the Highway. Before Bannister Mall, was just a Small Fire Station and a pond next to it. Remember United Supers grocery and The Hen Barn Grocery up on 95th and Blue Ridge

[@jkhill74]

Yep. You nailed it. 😁

[@luciasabrinadimaria614]

You're right. Unfortunately, I don't do Facebook.

[@luciasabrinadimaria614]

Those were the days: Holmes Park Kindergarten, Johnson Elementary, Ervin Jr. High and Hickman Mills H.S...I remember them all so well.....Some of the last names from HMHS, I think I remember their names like Rick Majors, David Blankenship, Penny Funk, Brian Oldham, Mcdermot sisters

I lived a block south of 99th bridge that was over the tracks. I used to go to Fairlane to the creek to catch crawdads. Then we were neighbors. I bought a Yamaha drumset from a dude that was a few years older than me that lived over there. Cool

@@luciasabrinadimaria614 Very cool. I used to catch crawdads in that creek too. 😁 Those were the days for sure.

I don't do Facebook. Never have. I knew people on your side of the tracks. But it's been so long. Back then I was into fast cars. One car I had was a red/gray primer 68 GTX, which I bought from a David Galligor from HMHS. It would be nice to chat , brings back memories.

@@luciasabrinadimaria614 It was a nice area back then. We used to play a lot on and around those railroad tracks when we were growing up. My parents would have freaked out if they knew how much time was spent there. :-)

[@luciasabrinadimaria614]

I knew a guy name Mark Carson who drove a blue le mans. He was your age .

[@luciasabrinadimaria614]

Heres a few names that were your age who went to HM and graduated your class. Kirk Perrault and Alicia Perrault. Terry Murphy and his Blue 68 Firebird.

[@jkhill74]

I don't recognize Kirk or Alicai. Terry sounds familiar but I can't put a face to the name. I hung our with the Nease boys, Herb, Mike, and Danny. Also Ron Doss, Jesse Twyman. It was a great area and neighborhood.

[@luciasabrinadimaria614]

Neese and Doss soung familiar. I think a Neese was my age. Could be wrong.

[@luciasabrinadimaria614]

Did you go to Hickman Mills HS? When did you graduate?

@@luciasabrinadimaria614 Cool. I lived on Belmont just north of 99th St. in the Fairlane subdivision. There's an active Hickman /Ruskin group on Facebook. You should check it out if you haven't already. 😊
