I went to Broad Ripple High School for freshman and sophomore years (83/4 to 84/5). I doubt I'll be invited to any class reunions because I didn't graduate from there, or any high school for that matter. In summer '85, my mother decided that my behavior and style of dress were indicative of much deeper problems that could only be resolved by moving to South Carolina. I made outrageous promises to my Indy friends of things that would happen when we came of age and lost touch with most of them shortly after moving. Lora G and I have kept up with each other over the years.
Before I was married, my name was Mary Horne and one of my most distinguishing characteristics were (and are) my enormous boobs.
Fast forward twenty-some years... I have a 20-year-old daughter and have been married to her father for about 20 years. I have a BA in English and an MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I've lived and worked in South Korea, Mexico, the Federated States of Micronesia (on the islands of Pohnpei and Kosrae), and New Mexico. I'm now a college administrator (management or dark side) in western Pennsylvania.
I have always had warm memories for the summer of 85 in Broad Ripple, hanging out at the tressel over the canal. I hope my friends remember me and have a fondness in their heart for me too.

Mary...alas..We had water damage at one time and I lost almost All of my photos. My husband was so kind to save these few. I have no old photos of you. If you ever find yours please post them here.
MARY!!!! I can't believe its you! Everytime I drive by your old house I remember hanging out there and I really remember when you moved away. It was terribly upsetting. You've made such a fine life for yourself. My oldest is about to turn 18. wew....what a life.
Andy, yeah, I know what you're saying...the Lemonheads then instantly faded into multi-platinum obscurity. That's such a great perspective when most people have no idea the band even existed pre-1992.
If anyone bothering to read this hasn't heard t…
I'm not crazy about Michael Jackson or modern-day indie rock, but I will sing the SHIT out of some prime Manilow.
Burd, you nailed me.

Ben Blackburn current efforts for finding a band have been fruitless
Burd, I would never accuse you of being shy about speaking your mind. And I doubt anyone would have thought me anything but a raging snob from way back. And with the anti-Manilow snobbery of the post below, we continue to have plenty in common. FTR:…
John, it didn't seem like good natured to me when I went back and looked. It reeked of pretentious snobbery. Haughtiness. The funny thing is; I'd probably step up and say something if someone was doing it to you. Incidently, there are all sorts of t…
