Wigley Down Yonder #67002 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yes that's right two down and two to go. Badlands Drifter Graduates High School with a 3.90 GPA yesterday at Sandalwood High School in Jacksonville Florida. He'll be going to The Florida University here in Jacksonville for two years, then off to UF in Gainesville. Yes he's 18 now and a High School Grad! Where did the time go? I miss my little buddy!

Seriously though, enjoy the summer and worry about adult life at the end of August. You'll look back one day and say "Boy that sure went by quick".

Dang It Dan 13202 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Congrats!! My last one graduated this year as well, and when I look at his room, and his bathroom, and his car I start to get a litte....happy about him leaving for college in the Fall. Maybe my wife will be able to find the floor in his room which we haven't seen in three years. I will miss him, but right now one of us has to go! So much for getting all teary-eyed.

Johnny The Kid , SASS 22917 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Well, Drifter and Wigs.. You all have to be proud.....this is a great milestone and the beginning of a whole new era. I have really missed seeing my little buddy over the past months....with him busy in other areas and then the dern knee problems. College will keep him hopping ( or studying) but we expect to see him down the trail some also. Congratulations, Drifter.....Good job. JTK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowhand Bob, 24229 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 WOW, he must have been one of them fast-track kids, it took me til 23 years old.

Lorenzo Kid, SASS#30214L Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Drifter and Wigley, I find it hard to believe that "the kid" is graduating from HS. I remember the first time I saw him shoot at TLS many years ago....unbelievable! And such a really nice kid. You both are top notch in my book, and I hope to see you again soon. Congratulatons on your graduation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wigley Down Yonder #67002 Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 I showed your responses to Drifter. His reply was simply wow! That’s what I miss Dad is our friends, tell them I’m just taking a break and I’ll be back once I get my life under control. I also showed them to his ma (Diane), unlike a lot of you, my wife has no idea how much enjoyable fellowship we share in SASS. It’s about family enjoying the same interest together. Her response was, “How are you doing”? I still find myself looking towards the loading table to see if the little boy with a black bowler upon his head, dressed in black and white is standing their getting ready to shoot. I remember! Drifter is going to help Zack McGee and I RO at Florida States Last Stand January 2012, so we’ll see you then. Thanks for the worm memories.
