Debby could have been a supermodel, but chose to use her giant brain instead. She was the girl in High School - and every school had one - who was wicked smart, effortlessly beautiful, genuinely nice to everyone, athletic, able to switch from utter goofball mode to student body president mode in 5 seconds flat. Not to mention cheerleader, mascot, homecoming queen, and general all around do-gooder. If only she didn't have such a great personality too. She's good people.
I got to spend some time with Debby at our 10-year reunion and she is exactly the same - other than the mild british accent she's picked up from living in London, which just makes her all the more charming!
Ah, Dede. The perfect mix of southern charm, northern eastern depth and midwestern inappropriateness. Her life appears to be quite different since the last time I saw her. She's added a husband, a couple of kids, and a near death experience/miracle to her list of accomplishments, but she's still got that same beaming smile and a glow that even shows up in pictures.
I met Deep at a few years ago, and, you know how sometimes you meet someone so amazing that you just know it's going to change your life forever? Well, it wasn't like that, but it was still pretty cool. We had a pleasant and instant camaraderie. I love when I don't have to work for it.
Odds are I'll never see Deep or his beautiful wife again, but I'll think fondly of him forever!
Dena is my beautiful, sunny, radiantly warm cousin who I haven't seen in 15 years. It's circumstances like this that make me so thankful for social media! I think a family reunion is in order, Dena!
Co-worker and friend. Give Denny a pile of scrap wood, some heavy duty styrofoam and some cheap paint and an hour later he'll give birth to a masterpiece. He is 8 parts laid-back, happy-go-lucky, Grateful Dead-loving artist and 2 parts angry revolutionary. He can also illustrate anything and he looks great in a newsboy cap. If you've been to an art/craft show anywhere in St. Louis in the last 10 years, then you've seen Denny's stuff. It's AWESOME and it usually serves some sort of purpose other than just hanging there. See it some more on his website! Click This.
