John,
I am pretty sure I remember your friend. Wasn't she fairly tall with long, straight brown hair and very quiet? If you ever are in touch with Ed Frimmer please tell him hello for me...we had a true love/hate relationship but he could make me laugh even in the blackest of moods which was pretty much 99% of the time. I have fond memories of him. As far as Jeff Spearman goes, he came from Florida and made his way to Sr staff. He was about 6ft, skinny, brown hair and a somewhat large nose. Highly confrontational, one who would come across chairs. His girlfriend was Ellen Savage and he was on staff with Steve, Cameron Riley, Steve Atkinson, Spencer Sale. In the old building, was not ever in Irving. Used to drive this orange Toyota that looked like a bug - what was that? Keith House had one to. But he actually may have been gone by 11-88 because I commenced in 12-88 and was the last commencee out of the old building and he was off staff when I graduated. I think the girl you are thinking about was either Carmen York or Michelle Raulston, there was also a girl named Stacy, not Elliff, a larger girl from Midland who was confronted alot also. Chad Barnes was also one who was mercilessly ripped on. I did not know Dave that well outside of Straight - we never really liked each other - I must have missed the stories of the animal killings. I would have raged at him had I ever heard them as I never lost my compassion for animals, even in that place. The absolute scariest thing about that is the fact that, and I believe this is the right number, 93% of all serial killers/and or rapists were animal torturers or killers in their youth. One of the places I volunteer here in Dallas is a no-kill shelter and what I have seen done to animals by children is unreal. I cannot tell you how many times I have had to rush to the bathroom to vomit when an abused animal is brought in. I look around at my four babies laying around and every one of them came home with me from there and to think that children think it is okay to set fire to, break legs for fun just sickens me. I truly hope he got help but because he pretty much thought I was a bitch and I help him in the same regard, I did not get to know him much out of there. We were on staff together but he thought I was a snob and we did our best to avoid being on the rapstool together. Glad you checked in and hope that all is well with you.
Jennifer
