You Scream, I Scream, We all Scream for ........
"You scream, I scream, we all scream for Eric Epperson!" I am so glad you found the blog. And I must admit that I was glad to see that you spent most of your work day reading it!!! We won't tell anyone......I just hope it did not delay my LLBean package. LOL!

Cheers Rami –
Yesterday was very unproductive for me at work - Kathi sent a link to the blog and I spent way too much of my day traveling back in time through the postings and photos. It made me miss Slidell, and specifically our senior year.
For me, our senior year was all about the girlfriend from SHS- she worked at Swenson’s in the mall and we met the summer of ’86 (all the waffle cones I could eat baby!). I spent every free minute of my days and weekends with her. Unfortunately it meant I missed out on important opportunities to strengthen friendships and be a part of many of the NHS memories that have been archived in the pix throughout this blog. I’d be lying if I said I had no regrets about how I managed my priorities back then, but at the time I was convinced it was absolutely the right thing to do. She wound up dumping me for a security guard at the mall named Luke (OK Chuck Murray – you were right).
After graduation, several of us took a senior trip to Gulf Shores (Chuck M., Chris Hill, Chuck Spano, Ferlin (Andre) Smith and a couple others – I’m trying to track down some photos for you). Two weeks after returning from the beach my family moved to Memphis, and within a year I’d pretty well lost regular contact with all of my NHS friends. I’m getting ready to cross a milestone in my life– next year I will have lived more of my life in Memphis than I did in Slidell (factoring out my four years at Ole Miss). I’ll always tell people I’m from Slidell though.
My wife and I have a 9-year-old son (I brought him to the picnic during our 10th reunion when he was 6 weeks old) and a daughter who turns 5 in August. I’m director of communications for FedEx and my wife stays at home. She probably doesn’t know how to make a waffle cone but she’s a great mother and has absolutely no interest in hanging out with security guards.
Thanks for keeping us all organized and I hope I’m able to make it down for the 20th.

I hope you can make it down here for the 20th as well. I'd love to meet your wife and children. Isn't it funny how there is just something about Slidell (well, Louisiana) that is easy to call it HOME? I'll be looking for the photos. Post just aren't the same without them.
