MY HIGH SCHOOL SOCIAL STUDIES CLASS WITH RUTH HAGEY--MTV HIGH

I'm seated in the back seat on the left side. Ok, not really.

But if you look closely, you'll find someone that looks an awfully lot like someone you know. There are about half a dozen kids in this picture that resemble somebody I know.

It's an exercise that drives my wife crazy. I'll say, "There's Steve Morris." Steve's an MTV friend of mine. He wasn't near South America, but I saw a guy on our ship that was his double. Admittedly sometimes my lookalikes are a stretch, but there's something about a lot of us that is common in our appearance, demeanor, expressions, voice, or actions.

The reason it drives my wife crazy is twofold: I do it all the time, and she doesn't see the similarities. So for purposes of identification, in the photo are Buff Thompson, Lydia Snider, Lucy Bradshaw, Linda Spurgeon, Wes Williams, David Somers, Cassie Hungate, Jeanne Howie, and Twiggy.

If you don't see them, it doesn't mean my theory is wrong. I mean I'm not saying that we all sprung from 12 tribes. Or am I?
