(Finished June 9th, 2025) Part 1 of The Best of 1985-1986

Hello,

The years 1985 and 1986 were some of the most monumental days in my life. I was working my first job at Safeways grocery stores and boy I learned at that job. Some of the stuff was actually good for me. I graduated high school-our 40th graduation anniversary is this year. After that I froze my butt off at Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho. The only good thing with that is I got over being homesick for what was quickly coming. Ricks College was later renamed BYU-Idaho and much later Benson went there for a semester. So I have that going for me. After coming home and working for the summer I went on a mission to the Mississippi-Jackson Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

There are so many good memories associated with many of these songs.
