To usher in Birthday Week, I would like to take this moment to pay tribute to my beautiful comrade, Dr. Jacki Lee Walker. I have many touching memories of Dr. Lee and would like to share a few with you, my Internet friends.
• When talking about her crush, “He’s the nicest guy. He always does volunteer work with kids in wheelchairs. What a minute? How can I get a wheelchair so he will talk to me?”
• She always used to stalk guys in college as a game (sorry, but this is true). I met her once in the library by periodicals and she pointed our several innocuous looking, studying girls who were actually her spies. Her most brilliant spy move occurred after struggling to find out her target’s name. A breakthrough came the day that he was studying for his religion exam. If you are a good Mormon you will know why.
• Once she threw this party that involved some super, super boring movie involving winter sports (refresh my memory on that one). She bought this super expensive gargantuan television and returned it after the party was over. The salesperson asked her why she was returning it and she replied, “Too big.”
• I went over to her house her third year of college and she announced, “I just went grocery shopping for the first time.”
• She joined the Breakdance Club at BYU and somehow I ended up at a performance in the Wilk, probably holding a sign.
• Nuestra amiga, “Quisqueya la bella.”
• I found out that she was engaged because I imed her and someone replied, “This is Jacki’s fiancée.” We are old, so that was in the B.F. era (before Facebook).
I could go on, but this is a blog about me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I guess I am not a good Mormon- what are you alluding too?
ReplyDeletestories about jacki in college make me wish i were in college again. stories about me in college have the same impact. why were we all so eager to leave college? i feel ripped off; six years was nowhere near long enough, especially since i didn't meet you and jacki until the fifth year.
