I think if you asked any of our significant others and/or college friends during the early 2000’s, they would all say our ECS friends were obsessed with each other. And I’m not saying this was a bad thing. I mean, basically, we all just really loved high school, and loved talking about all the fun we had in high school, and all the fun we were having during college, with our high school friends.
Back in college (freshman/sophomore year, specifically), our group of high school/Memphis friends had the EZ Board (a message board). I know this sounds nerdy/cheesy, but I really think this was one of the ways we were able to stay so close, even as we went away to our respective colleges.
“Back then” we didn’t have social networking or Web 2.0, and this little corner of the internet was our pride and joy. We had our fair share of drama/controversy on the board, but over the course of 18 months, made it over 10,000 posts. Eventually, the board fizzled out and I haven’t thought about logging in (could I??) in about 5 years . . .
Long story short, I discovered the Wayback Machine last week, and eventually found my way back to the legendary ezboard!!! Hope you enjoy these old school pictures (eyes not blacked out) of the old gang (mostly from Spinny J’s birthday party @ the SDR Estate).

these are amazing pictures. don't listen to what your spouse says. highschool was awesome! reuinion at xmas will be oh so sweet!
Great pictures! Ah, the days of carefree youth, too cute!
I love how two of the retrospect guys are making bedroom eyes at the camera but the other guy is just smiling. Are they practicing for their interview with Michael Donohue in that week's Playbook?
Also, good to see the old Bryan couch make an appearance in the pictures.
i think "making bedroom eyes" is the perfect verb to describe DT . . . daniel, can you please attest to this?
