ODE TO YUBA CITY AND THE HONKERS...

That's what I call spirit! Ann is on the left.


Ann a little more spirited here!


Walker's favorite sport...


Mark making it look so easy...


A Halloween party many moons ago...

Walker and his lucky number 25...


Amy trying her best to listen to her coach while attending to a personal problem...


Baseball season...Walker's allergies and asthma always flared up, but it never stoped him!

I'm sure Amy made this free throw!


Mark played quarterback. As a Mother, I feel sacking the quarterback should be illegal!

Amy...Most inspirational cheerleader. She's going to be disgusted I've revealed this info...


Mark on the court. He still plays on a rec. team.


Ann cheering up a storm...


Mark and the girls...I love this photo. (Walker was at Boise State.)


Wally, (far left) is our local sports announcer. In those days it was radio, now it's TV. I always thought he was to cute for radio!


Good old Butte Avenue...where Grandma's house is. My Father built it.


The mustard grass that appears in the orchards this time of year...


I think it's so beautiful.


Looking down Franklin Avenue...


So many memories. I treasure them all.

that picture of mark holding the two basketballs is my favorite. when i first met ann and amy i was looking through their photos of high school friends and came across this one. i obviously didn't know it was their brother when i laughed and said "who's this guy?!"

It is so funny that you have pics of the flower field! I pass an orchard everyday that is so beautiful and looks just like this, I was thinking of taking pictures! I love california...It's so nice to get all the seasons!

Nothing like that Honker pride. I love the one of Mark and the girls, they look so cute and he looks so tough.

ALL HAIL YUBA CITY HIGH
ALL HAIL TO THE BROWN AND GOLD
WHERE MY HEART WILL EVER BE
FAITHFUL AND TRUE TO THESE????

Someone help me! How does it go?

Go Honkers!!
I was not popular enough to be a cheerleader like the twins. But now that I think about it, that was the least of my problems..what about coordination!
