Did you ever...
See an old photograph that really brought back the
memories? This recently happened to me. I was reading the Paducah Sun
newspaper, and noticed an article they had printed from the Lyon County
newspaper. Since I am a proud graduate of the Lyon County High School
class of 1969, this particular story piqued my interest.
 I
got on the website, clicked on the decade of the 1960's, clicked on
baseball, and lo and behold there was a picture of the 1968-69 Lyon
County Lyons baseball team. I was a "lean, mean, pitching machine" for
that team. Now, about 40 years and 100 pounds later, the memories flood
my mind.
I remember a good buddy of mine (who shall be nameless because of my
fear of future retribution) on that team who once drank bleach on a
dare, and would gather a bunch of little kids together at the ball
field, throw a double handful of coins into the air and "cackle with
glee" as the youngsters pummeled each other trying to recover that
treasure. Now, that's entertainment!
Each one of those young men's faces brought back memory after memory.
Those really were the "good ol' days", but at the time I didn't realize
it.
I also clicked on the link that showed our basketball cheerleaders of
1968-69. I had a "crush" on two of them, but I never told them. I was so
shy back then.
I have had a lot of fun with this photograph. I printed it off and
showed it to various people: my daughter, some friends, the young people
in the Sunday School class that I teach, and other people in church. I
asked them to find me, in the picture. Almost everyone guessed wrong.
One "dear" brother at church wanted to know if we "used gloves back
then." Ouch!
So I personally want to thank the Paducah Sun and the authors of this
website for helping an old man feel young again.
