That's My School

No Way! Way!

While working in Wisconsin my wife and I visited the Tacoma area in the spring of 1998. Friends told us that a movie was being made at Stadium.

The following year, there were two women at work who went to dinner and a movie after work each Wednesday.

On Thursday morning they came in chattering about the supposed high school in the movie they had seen — 10 Things I Hate About You.

There is just no way that castle could be a high school!

I went home that evening after saying nothing and found a large post card of Stadium and the Bowl — taken in the 1970’s. I found a frame, took it to work and hung it on the wall in my office knowing that Sharon and Dorothy would notice it immediately — they did.

It was the only time in many years that these two were known to have been completely speechless as I explained to them that it was, indeed, a high school and that I, as well as my three sisters, had graduated from that school.
