This is the front row (also the shortest classmates) of our Hale School 8th Grade Graduation.
15th birthday in 1984. Notice the fantastic David Cassidy hair do, baby!! You know it's been a while since there was a World Championship Celtics T-shirt worn in Boston...
That's right...Hammond, Jeff Hammond. Senior Prom 1987. A mere 12 hours after this photo was taken I had gone to dinner, went to prom, got in fight with date, left with friends without date, smoked A LOT of pot that had me lying prone on the back yard explaining to anyone within whispering distance "I can't get up... the force is holding me down.", sobered up, drank til morning, and arrived back at home without a girl friend, an incredible buzz, and got an ear full from my mother for not calling. I tried to explain to her that the "force would not allow me to call", but she would have none of that...
Graduation day. Not wearing any pants. May not wear any to the reunion. Maybe I am kidding or maybe I AM...

That's the Jeff I remember!
No worries, I didn't make the yearbook either (other than the obligatory class photo). I think my plan of being as invisible as possible finally worked! :)
I received an Email from Robin saying that my year book pic was to dark to use... so don't feel badly!
wow - josh cushing - that's a name I haven't uttered for a few years! I notice jeff foy on the right - what sharp dresser he was.
Who is the kid to the left of you?
I know - bloody hell, it's dan doering isn't it?
Donica- Well if your picture was too dark to use then mine must be as well.
I remember mine came out really dark and you could only see half my face. Great...
Jeff- I like to see that you were thinking outside the box with your smart burgandy blazer in a sea of navy blue!
Jen, if she hasn't contacted you then i would say it was ok.
Jeff - who was your prom date???
Originally, my Junior Prom date was Jody Sylvester (Nashoba superintendents' daughter...nice). Jeff Augusta (Mark's younger brother) was dating Tawnya in our class. I moved two weeks prior to our Junior Prom, and was not able to attend. Jody was a sophomore so it wasn't like she wasn't going to attend a prom in her future, but MAN!!! You would have thought I left her at the altar...LOL. I mean, I was the one having to move to Pittsburgh for cryin out loud.
The prom picture in this sequence was my senior prom in Pittsburgh. Good ol' Jen "psycho" Pethia was her name. Oh well, what's a prom if it isn't completely F'd up from start to finish??
Pete, good call on Dan Doering. He and I were always 1-2 in height for our class until we were in high school.
Jeff Augusta was the older brother of Mark (whoops).
Jen, maybe I'll wear the same outfit to the reunion. I think that jacket may have been a 2nd hand realtor jacket...lol.
Jen & Donica-
Whats all the talk about our senior pictures? If i have to wear a nametag with that picture on it i will be meeting you all in the bar after the reunion....infact i think i might have to start drinking now.
start drinking girl friend!! Trust me when I say that she can hand the name tag to me, but she can't make me wear it. Also, where is the after party at? We're staying at Crowne Plaza or Marrriot near DCU center. Are we considering something like that or does Worcester stay open past midnight??
We could walk over to the Irish Times after....
And yeah Amy, I am guessing that is the plan. I will just bring along a better photo and some tape.
Or maybe we could all switch name tags? That could be fun.
i got a room too so there should be plenty of places to go :)
free Harely rides till midnight haha...(as long as you dont mind riding bitch)
You might want to reconsider the "after parties" considering where that got people the night of the 5th reunion. I think everyone but Laurie was kicked out.
Afraid of taking pictures of your classmates asses Hil?? Never knew you to be such a quitter...lol.
OK you big bunch of Jackasses.... YOU ALL BETTER BE WEARING THE ^&*(*&^%$ nametags - do you know how long it has taken to make them!!!!!
Amy - your picture is funny - that is how I remember you - the spiked hair....
By the way - Uno's is open pretty lete (I think) and is right across the street. I've been there for after hours after a concert...
Robin-
saying my picture is "funny" is not really helping you in getting me to wear that name tag.
