“A
J^jLs a child, I became
aware of L. Frank Baum’s Oz
books and Alice In Wonder
land. This was about when I
was six-years-old. We moved
out to a farm, and I distinctly
remember, I was very much in
love with the Oz books that
you could buy at the dime store.
We lived on a farm, and I re
member that when I wanted to
share my love fAr these books,
I would sit on a stool while my
father and mother were milk
ing the cows by hand, and I
would read these stories at the
top of my lungs. I just fell in
love with the words as well as
the story” — Ron Bayes
^^\^n I was a child, I
can remember how I wanted to
get a bicycle. My family was a vety
poor family and the bicycles in
Ecuador were very expensive.
When I return to Ecuador next
month, I believe that I will get a
bicycle for me and my son to use.”

1 V J^y favorite child
hood experience was when I
lived in Thailand. Dad used to
make us take two-hour naps in
the afternoon and then we
would go to the country/west
ern barbecue place for ribs. We
could watch country and west
ern movies. The restaurant was
called ‘The Cock and Bull.”
Everybody was Thai so it was
my favorite thing to do be
cause I could get American
food.” — Candi Cann

If you could go back to the days when you were a child, what
would be your fondest recollection? Some of the students and
faculty members give their recollections of what they recall as
being their most enjoyable experiences as a child...

“M
XV-Ly fondest
memory was when I struck out
three people in a row when I
was eight years old. It was the
second game I pitched in and I
did it in the last inning.” —
Chris Bachman
XV -Ly fav&nte child
hood toy was the X-Wing
Fighter plane my parents gave
me for Christmas. I also still
have Luke Skywalker.” — Tim
Lucas
jL.he best thing I had
in my childhood and one that
I still have was my security
blanket. It was all ripped up
when I was littie, but my Mom
remade it so it was altogether.
I used to think it was magic
and I used to sleep with it all
the time.” — Laurie Dreber
“M y fondest child
hood recollection was last year,
(’cause I still am a child) at
midnight on Christmas Eve.
My parents had been keeping a
special present from me for a
long time. At midnight they
said, “Let’s not wait until
Christmas Day.” They would
not tell me about it. They hid it
from me and they kept telling
me, “You’re not going to get
it.” They told me to go out into
the driveway because my
grandmother had left some
thing out there. So I said,
“Whatever.” It was a new, red
RX-7.” — Joey Smith
JLV Ay favorite child
hood memory is when I woke
up one morning when I was
five years old and my parents
were gone. A baby-sitter was
there and she would not tell
me where my parents had gone.
About three hours later, they
came back with the biggest
box I had ever seen. I opened
the box and out jumped a
puppy. I named him ‘Linus.’”
