Years in America: Photo montage
Thought I’d get the pictures out of the way first, before I write further episodes. Hope you enjoy this!
Here’s my official photograph for the UA Desert yearbook.
My first dorm room in Yavapai Hall. I tried to make it as homely as I could. Eagle-eyed readers would have spotted a Rubik’s cube I brought from home (top left).
I can’t recall whether this was my first picture of me consuming Domino’s Pizza, but my roommate certainly wanted to capture the moment.
This lovely friend of mine is Leisa (she guest-posted in my blog) We’ve still kept in touch after all these years—thank you, Windows Live Messenger!
Here I am with Paul Johnston, an Agriculture major. I roomed with him for a semester.
Here’s Steve, the elder half of the Johnston brothers. He also majored in Agriculture. They both live near Phoenix, in a town called Higley.
Another friend of mine in those days, Crystal Miller. She’s a Music Education major. Jeez, I think I had a crush on her then *blush*
The mall area, a wide open field. Perfect for hanging out in-between classes, soak in some sun, and see lovely girls passing by…ah, nostalgia!
The fountain near Old Main, one of my favorite places to sit and study or chill. Just a short walk from my dorm.
I took this while on a Geology (yes, that’s right) field trip. Did you know it’s against the law to harm the Saguaro cactus? I read somewhere that there was this guy who shot one of them with a shotgun, and was mortally injured when it fell on him. Payback huh?
Yavapai Hall, the dorm where I lived during my time at the University. Some trivia—in the 60’s and 70’s many of the dorm’s residents grew marijuana plants and smoked pot in their rooms. This was outlawed by the time I was there.
Me and two friends, Jeff (center) and Phil (right) outside the Department of Music entrance. Jeff’s a guitarist while Phil plays the piano.
Now this is embarrassing, but I’ve forgotten this lovely lady’s name. I think it was Carol, she works in the International Students’ Office. I do remember Joan and Simon too. They were all very friendly and gave me a warm reception when I first visited them for info regarding the university and Tucson in general. I even had a meal or two with them!
Shucks, what can I do, the ladies love me. That’s Dinah on the left and Charlotte on the right. Both are Voice majors and both happen to hail from Texas.
