“They thought they’d be friends forever, but forever couldn’t last.”
September 15th, 2006 | by Scott |Five weeks from today I will travel back to Arkansas for my 20th high school reunion. As I begin to contemplate heading back, I find myself more and more nostalgic. Over the next few weeks I will be talking a bit more about those days and sharing some videos that mark that era and my generation.
I loved high school and have a whole slew of fond memories of those days. Alas, I have not remained in contact with any of my classmates. Time moves on.
I remember a Friday in Mid-August 1985. We had just finished our last football 2-a-days. Our Senior year would officially begin on Monday. A group of us (all seniors) decided to go see St. Elmo’s Fire. The movie, so filled with themes of growing up and moving on, would resonate with me that year. It became a benchmark movie in my life.
The theme song for the movie, Man in Motion, by John Parr would become one of my favorite songs of all time. Here it is.
