Tell us about your most unusual meeting with a Priory person
When I was in college (1985), I met up with a girl who was in my class at Priory in J3(1973-4). She recogniized me. I didn't recognize her, but I did remember her name. She was from Virginia and had only been at Priory for a short time. I guess I looked the same at 18 as I did at 7. Scary!!!
What do you think of the Priory site?
I love it. It brings back wonderful memories. I'd like to see more yearbooks scanned (70's - 80's)
