Push the tape in.

Years ago, Lisa got a VHS tape. Pictures from back then, set to “In My Life” by The Beatles — by all accounts, a really nice tape.

She kept it in a box of tapes she meant to keep — the kind of box you don’t throw out.

She threw out the box.

It ended up at Goodwill, where some stranger walked in, picked up a VHS labeled in handwritten cursive, and bought it. Haven’t heard back. Hard to argue, really — it’s a great tape.

So instead: this page. If you’ve got a photo from back then — Mesa High (the bomb school), the ’90s in general, anyone from that whole crew — send it in. New tape, no Goodwill.

OK, real talk — it would be cool to round up some old pictures (if you guys wouldn’t mind) before they’re lost to time. That’s the whole thing.

How to send a picture

Pick whichever’s easiest. Don’t sort, don’t scan, don’t label. Bad pictures encouraged — the worse the better, honestly.

Text it

Easiest from any phone. No caption needed. A name and a rough year help — but they’re not required.

One photo per text — the carrier crushes the quality when you batch a bunch into one message.

iPhone, sending a lot?

Long-press a photo, hit Share, pick Copy iCloud Link, text it to 480-999-1637. They all come through full quality.

Pictures go up in the gallery as they come in. Want yours taken down later? Say so — no questions, no awkwardness.
