On April 19, 1973 we had a
run. When the gml went off we
ran as fast as we could to
stake out our claim. But most
fun was eating lunch. I was very
excited when the gun went off.
But Jerry was always in our
way. He is very diseusting, but
we had a lot of fun. Dru was a
pest too!
So was the fifth grade.

too. We chased Carol and Bar-
bars out of our fort too. Me
