When Sr. Colette sent these photos I wondered what others did she have?
They touched my heart seeing all of you but mostly seeing Fran and Lenny.
My emotions got the best of me and then I read her card to Chris and blubbered all over again.

I can't believe how much I have laughed and cried since the reunion.

Rose, whats with the 69 shirt? I thought I was the only one brave enough to wear that! Or was that mine and you borrowed it.

Jerry! you looked soooo dead...
Johnny! what were you hanging off of?
Who is that mask man??
Look at those uniforms! I think they were the scariest costume of all.
What a back drop...Chris was that you artistic talent behind that?
What a creative class.
But that spook house had more meaning then just to scare people didn't it guys,hummmmmm!

You have a dirty mind Beth,shame on you. I am talking about all the things we had to do. Like erecting the pics Chris made on to that huge thingy. Just because we tied up girls,does not mean anything, right.

Of Course...It's obvious Billy has that big smile on his face (in picture with Lenny) just from the pure sense of pleasure, pride and accomplishment he received simply by helping hang, or as he put it, "erect" the large haunted house banner we painted! You know, just doing his part. Geeeeze, I'm with you Bill, any other interpretaion would seem so speculative! Ü

I remember one of the nuns asking if that rope was safe around my neck and wedged up in the ceiling panel. I said sure and pulled on it and could have either lifted my self up on the rope or pulled the drop ceiling down. Now that scared me because I was up on a small step ladder.
Phil looks so natural it's like he's saying," Yeah, so I got fangs,
I'm a vampire, what's your point?"

Thanks Sister Colette. It's great to see such a good shot of Lenny. Billy, with that smile, you know something was going on. That smile is how Billy got all the ladies. He would just smile at 'em and they would all fall in line. He was kind of like a Svengoolie.

Jerry you are so full of it.Ok I took the bait and got back on the Blog. Guess thats why I always liked you because you where always starting something. Still remember Dactich class in HS with U and Billy Simms, still laugh my ass off. Since Jerry and Mr Z and I are the only ones writing on the Blog Chris and Beth should give us free DVDs.If I have to buy one I will spill my gutts, spook house, naked running thru the lunch rm spin the bottle and and much more.It wont be pretty. So I suggest people start a fund to pay for my DVD.

Bill, Am I detecting a bit of blackmail here??? Ahhhh.....Would seem to be such an effective and intimidating ploy however, just so you know, we have insider access to all the many "Billy Pratsch Tales" that can be furnished to us by... Hmmmm...let's see...the Stinars- the Claypools- the Karins- the Rattrays- the Boscos and a host of other credible witnesses that lived on 40th Place!!!! So...since "What Goes Around Comes Around", I think you may want to reconsider spilling your gutts and instead- get your checkbook out! Ü

Your good Chris, the old reverse blackmail trick. OK I tried and black mail is such a harsh word. I would say it was more incentive based. So how much is the DVD going to cost me MMMMMMMM.I would call your bluff. But just to be on the safe side there might be alittle extra in the check if you know what I mean. Memory lapses occur all the time. Just like now I forgot about what I was talking about, how odd. Chris remember I'm running for mayor so play nice.

Hey Billy....The ole' "Pleading the Fifth" routine...I get it! Not sure how much the DVD will set you back....(depends how much we have to pay all our material witnesses to keep quiet)!!!
So for now, we'll keep all this at bay. We'd certainly not want to tarnish your squeaky-clean reputation and jeopordize your political career! Worse yet....spark any interest from the tabloids!

Okay so, what were we saying? Oh yeah, we we're discussing all the fine, upstanding attribiutes of the young adults in the 8th grade class that hosted that "Spook House"! Wouldn't you agree Mr. Persley? (or are you looking for a free DVD too) Ü

Good one Chris, you really put Billy in his place but I can't believe he's backing down so easily.
Running for Mayor my butt...
I googled you Billy,Bill,William,Slick Willie,Willie, Pratch, Pratsch in every name I could come up with and nothings happening in Mayor land with your name on it.First it was the Priest now Mayor,MMMMM?
So what's the scoop?
It would be so much fun if you came into town around June 26th when Paula Walton was in town to get your confessions recorded. You should try at least, we'll pull a few of the old gang together and have a party in the Mayors honor.

And DIRTY MIND! I learned from the best at BS, the CATLICK girls always came out ahead.
That should be a cheer!

And remember Chris and I put this reunion together we have more information about all then the bible has on Jesus, beware....

Hey where is Rose? She gets married and forgets her fellow class mates????

Did we loose Johnny? Didn't he look great in the Alter Boy costume? So true to form.

Beth I will be running for Mayor this fall. So having a squeaky clean image is very important. One made up story could ruin my chances. So let's pretend I was never in the spook house. And I never played feely meely behind the bar. All that is hear say and will never stand up. Wish I could come up there the 26, but I will be hot on the campaign trail. My campaign pledge is to give all women free breast exams. OOPPS guess I got that idea from the spook house. Anyway I am far enough away from you and Chris I think I am safe from any tall tales of juvenile misbehavior. Just call me telfon Bill nothing will stick HA HA HA

Ok Bill, do I believe this whole Mayor thing? I DON'T THINK SO!!!
I want proof!
Free Breast Exams? Are you doing the screening? We know how much you like a dark room or BUS!
Speaking of bus I mentioned your story to Mr. Widelski and he had no memory of a particular bus ride you mentioned to me.
There's a cover up if I ever saw one.Did you contact him and asked him to plead the fifth??

Hey Bill,
I was thinking, believe it or not.
You should hire Chris and I to run your campaign!

Were great at organizing big crowds, our slogans are creative, setting up programs are very graphic and we can trouble shoot any problem you might run into.

Our honesty is always clear and we can smile through any crisis.

Two good Catlick girls for the campaign, what more can you ask for?

Hey Chris and Beth, You've seen some of the powers of editing. Just get me a little footage of this BSer and we can literally put words in his mouth. Scary! Yet also exciting. All the girls from your class can come up with a scrip. We can doop some man into reading it and do a simple voice over. Girls should always stick together. Paula

Beth,

Is Bill for real? What right does he have to run for Mayor and give free breast exams!!! I don't think this would be in his campaign speech. Is our Bill following Bill Clinton's image? Sorry Bill, but I can't imagine that happening in a million years!! I have to admit it---- it sure was a great laugh!!!

Beth,

Sorry about not posting anything on the Blog recently. I just really feel bad about not making it to the reunion!!! I wanted to go so bad!! I have been looking at the pictures though. It sure looked like everyone had a great time. Sorry I missed seeing all my classmates!! Let me know when you get together again.

Roooooose, Don't feel bad about not coming!!!!!!
We got to see you on the 22nd of May.
Congratulation's by the way, I suppose it just wouldn't be right to come to the reunion instead of your wedding.hahaha!

Aren't the photos great???
Chris and I just laugh and cry seeing all of those happy faces.

Call me, I have to ask you something.

Look at you and the haunted house,we were so surprised when Sr. Colette sent these photo's.

Beth,

I don't think I have your number. I have your salon number but that's it.

I'm sorry you feel that way Beth. But breast's are very important and should not be taken lightly. In a recent pole my number's are increasing with women voters, doc's and nurses.I have the total endorsement of the homeless community because they will be conducting my free exam program. So don't mock what u don't know.

Excuse me Bill, but I know plenty about Breast cancer. I'm a hair stylist and I have 9 female and 2 men customers, yes men can have breast cancer,that have lost there breast to cancer and a cousin that is fighting for her life right now.
So if you are fighting for FREE Screenings then I'm right there with you, but if this campaign you are running in is really a joke then beware, life can come back and bite you in the butt.

Obviously you're a breast man so fight hard for those women that can't afford the screenings, my friend.
