Oh no!!! This is mortifying!!1 Remind to kill Charlie!! LOL Paula got it right. It's, Christy, Corky, Linda, Me and Karen. You won't believe this, but I still have that cheerleading uniform and it's way too big!!! Hard to believe that I lost weight over the years, but the again, I am an exercise physiology (Ph.D), so it goes with territory. I actually work with Navy and Air Force Special Ops. What an amazing goup of guys!! Kudos to the Navy Special Ops for getting Bin Landen.

@YardSaleCzarina Rosemary, If you don't mind, I could post that footage you had me transfer that shows Ridgeland Commons. It is short, but definitely reminds everyone of what it looked like "back then."

In order on the clip: Paddy Lauber, Christy Houser, Corky Carroll, Linda Durbin (dark hair), Rosemary Schaffner, and Karen Olsen

@paulamintek Way to go, Paula!

This is great! And it shows our beautiful stairway at the front of the building, too. I don't think that is Joan Wachman. The girls names are on the tip of my tongue. Olson, yes. But these girls are from the class after us.

@1Phyliss The film is owned by Charles Kaska, class of 1969. At 0:21, the first cheerleader shown is Paddy Lauber. At 0:22, the second cheerleader is Kristy Houser. I don't know the girl after that. The next cheerleader, with the short hair, is Rosemary Schaffner. The extremely short clip of the dark, short hair cheerleader is someone I don't know. AT 0:27 you see Karen Olson (I think). The clip finishes with Kristy Houser again.

@johnmeyer77 Sure, no problem!

Oops, didn't realize I was signed on on the other youtube name..... this is Rosemary! AKA ZumbaRose or YardSaleczarina. We're actually negotiating detaling with Maryland Public Television (MPT) for a Yard Sale TV show.We thought about calling it MD Piclers. but it's a lot more that that....

Joan Wachman was in my Class of '68 so not here. I do remember Karen Olsen and her sister Jean still lives in River Forest married to Ken Petruck Class of '68.

Oh yes I couldn't think of Rosemary's name. The girl at .41 I think is Corky Carol. I do not recognize the one with short dark hair, either. How fun to see this!
