In 1974 I was a happy 15 yr old living in Burbank, Calif. MY father decided that our family needed a change and moved us to a little desert town called Ridgecrest. My only saving grace was my cousin Lori who had lived there with her family ( my dad and her dad are brothers) for many years. So dad got a job on the Naval weapon center base and we got to live in base housing. Lori and I lived 2 blocks from each other. This little desert town grew on me and I had some wonderful years there. Lori and I attended Burroughs High School and this year was our 40th HS reunion. I found out about it in Jan and I told Lori that we had to go, so we made plans and we went. I am so glad that we did. It was fun to visit my old town, alot has changed since we left there many years ago. George and I actually lived there for several years after we were married. While we were there we tried to locate all of our childhood homes and sadly they are all gone. The town is depressing now, it is dirty and rundown and that is sad to see. But while we were there we had a blast and so glad we went.
